The 1900 model series (1950 - 1958) was Alfa Romeo's first large-scale production and, together with the Giulietta series (from 1954), once again ensured the Milanese manufacturer's survival and also the leap to large-scale production. In 1951, Alfa Romeo presented the platform, shortened by 13 cm, for the construction of a coupé and a convertible. The coupé's body design was created by Alfa Romeo's "in-house couturier" at the time, Carozzeria Touring Milano. Pinin Farina (then still written in two words) was responsible for the design of the convertible. Numerous other coachbuilders such as Boano, Boneschi, Castagna, Ghia, Pinin-Farina, Worblaufen and Zagato built coupés in small series. A total of 1,796 of the three series were built (Fusi). Around 650 of the 1st series were built between 1950 and 1953. In 1958, the 1900 series was replaced by the 2000 series (Tipo 102).
Very special women also deserve very special gifts. It only becomes problematic when this very special woman is not the one to whom the giver is married. It's all the more surprising when the betrayed wife then sends the gift, rather than the husband, into the desert. Read the story of the unique Alfa Romeo 1900 "Spider Razza", which is not really a story, and take in the many photos of the unusual Michelotti design.
Between 1951 and 1958, Carrozzeria Touring produced a coupé based on the shortened chassis of the Alfa Romeo 1900, which was initially called Sprint, then Super Sprint. Despite having fewer cylinders than the competition, the elegant coupé was able to compete with the greats of the time from Fiat (8V), Lancia (Aurelia B20 GT), Jaguar (XK 140) and Porsche (356). However, it was almost as expensive as a 300 SL and therefore remained rare. This driving report tells the story of the pretty coupé and shows it in historical and contemporary pictures, including a sound sample.
The Alfa Romeo 1900 was a surprise in 1950, a big surprise, because in addition to the previous range consisting exclusively of large six-cylinder cars, the Milanese company introduced a compact four-cylinder saloon that was almost half the price. And because it was hardly any slower and less sporty than its big brothers, it was almost celebrated as a sensation. But it was certainly an important milestone for Alfa Romeo. This report tells the story of the epoch-making design and shows the car in current and historical pictures, supplemented by a sound sample.
Based on the Alfa Romeo 1900 and the short version 1900C, many special bodies of great elegance were created in the 1950s. The coachbuilder Ghia-Aigle also fitted the Alfa chassis with coupé bodies designed by Giovanni Michelotti, one of which will be auctioned by Bonhams in Spa at the end of May 2013. This report briefly summarizes the history of the Alfa Romeo 1900 C and discusses the individual variants. One of the Ghia-Aigle coupés is described and illustrated in detail.
The coachbuilding company Touring Superleggera was founded in Milan in 1926. For 40 years, some of the most beautiful cars ever built left the noble vehicle forge, until it was all over in 1966. At least temporarily. This report looks back on the work of Carrozzeria Touring and shows some of the best creations made between 1926 and 1966 in over 120 pictures.
