History: The Alfa Romeo 1900 4 door sedan first appeared in 1950 and "Sprint" coupe variants began to appear in 1951. For added performance the coupes had a dual carburetor setup. Sprint (1884cc) engine output was initially 100 bhp, but with the 1956 introduction of the second series Super Sprint (1975cc), engine output increased to 115 bhp.

Production: Alfa Romeo built a total of 21,304 1900's of all types. The vast majority were basic 4 door sedans, but 1800 shortened wheelbase examples labeled "Sprint (1884cc) or "Super Sprint" (1975cc) were built by several different coachbuilders. The most interesting and certainly the most aggressively styled were the 41 cars built in 2 series by Zagato (39 coupes and 2 convertibles). Due to their lightweight construction, the Zagato's were very successful on the European race circuit. This particular vehicle is one of just 6 Zagato's 1900's built with the "double bubble" roof, it is the second to last coupe built and was raced by Elio Zagato in the 1985 Mille Miglia Retrospective.
