A 1954 Alfa Romeo 1900C Super Sprint with coachwork by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, chassis 01678, representing a significant moment in postwar Italian automotive development. Completed in March 1954 and first sold in Lugano, Switzerland, the car retains its original Tipo 1308 twin-cam 2.0-litre engine. A thorough restoration by Rome-based RizzaClassic returned it to factory specification, including correct Verde Ortica paintwork and period-accurate interior materials, with fewer than 1,100 miles accumulated since completion.
