Full description

Having its factory devastated by wartime bombing, Alfa Romeo did not resume car production until 1947, the pre-war 2500C being a good supporter of the Milan car brand until 1952. The company's first all-new offering of the post-war period arrived in 1950. Designed by Dr. Orazio Satta Puliga and intended for volume production, the 1900 was the first Alfa to employ unitary construction and - in keeping with the company's sporting heritage - was powered by a twin-overhead-camshaft engine.

The final flowering of the 1900 was the Super series, the 1900C Super Sprint being produced from 1953 to 1958. The Super series was mainly distinguished by the fact that the engine was enlarged, raising capacity from 1,884cc to 1,975cc. The 1900C Super Sprint could achieve 190 km/h due to its 115 HP, DOHC inline four-cylinder engine with Weber carburettors, five-speed column-shift manual transmission, independent front suspension with double A-arms, coil springs, hydraulic shock absorbers and four-wheel drum brakes. The vehicle has a 241.3 cm wheelbase. All these characteristics highlighted the model in various competitions.

The Sprint Coupé was designed to offer sporting performance together with '2+2'                                            accommodation - guaranteed to appeal to the sports car enthusiast with a family - while the heart-shaped vertical grille with matched horizontal side intakes became an Alfa trademark on later models. A total of 949 Sprints and 854 Super Sprints had been made by the time production ceased.
