Colour
Dark blue

The Alfa Romeo 1900C Super Sprint is one of 854 examples produced between 1953 and 1959, and among fewer than 200 believed to survive. Bodied by Carrozzeria Touring in the distinctive three-window Berlinetta style, it rides the versatile short-wheelbase 1900 platform and is powered by the 2.0-litre, 115 bhp twin-cam four-cylinder engine. Its documented history traces back to the collection of Luciano Siboni, and the car retains its original engine following a comprehensive restoration.

Maintenance & restoration

  1. Restoration

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
