1953 Alfa Romeo 1900C Sprint Coupé by Touring
- Engine
- 1.9L twin-cam inline-four, 100 bhp
- Colour
- Grey-green metallic
A first-series Alfa Romeo 1900C Sprint coupé bodied by Carrozzeria Touring under the Superleggera patent, delivered new in Ravenna, Italy in August 1953. One of the last examples before the mild 1954 restyle, it retains the heart-shaped grille and delicate coachwork characteristic of the original 1951 prototype. Acquired by an Italian collector in 2011, the car subsequently underwent a thorough professional restoration and is presented in grey-green metallic with a beige-and-red interior. It carries an Alfa Romeo Certificate of Origin and qualifies for Mille Miglia participation.
