Description
This gorgeous Alfa Romeo, the first of the legendary postwar 1900 Series developed by Ingeniere Busso, left the works on 31st October 1951. It was delivered to the Lugano Alfa Romeo agency on the 5th of November of the same year. The original custom clearance document dating from the 14th of November 1951 is still available. During its life the Berlina received a welcome power upgrade with the help of some period Abarth tuning comprising of two Weber carburettors coupled to an Abarth intake manifold resulting, according to Abarth sales brochures, in a 22 km/ h increase in top speed. After a number of owner changes and a colour change from blue to green the Alfa was restored to its original specs a number of years ago and today presents itself once again in its elegant dark blue. This Mille Miglia-eligible saloon boasts a FIVA-ID, an Alfa Romeo Certificato d’Origine, testifying the original matching numbers, and the original warranty booklet from 1951. The Alfa Romeo is in outstanding condition and has completed its last Veteran MOT in February 2017.
