A 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900C Super Sprint Series 3 three-window coupé with coachwork by Touring Superleggera, chassis AR1900C 10517, one of approximately 600 examples built between 1955 and 1958. Delivered new to Stockholm in 1958 after factory production in May 1957, this matching-numbers example has had few, well-documented owners from new.
