Alfa Romeo 1900

The Alfa Romeo 1900 was a landmark model, representing the company's first post-war design and its first production car built on a monocoque chassis. Marketed as "the family car that wins races," it featured a new twin-cam inline-4 engine that delivered spirited performance, winning races like the Targa Florio and the Stella Alpina. The 1900 was offered as a Berlina (sedan), but its chassis was also supplied to Italy's best coachbuilders, resulting in stunning coupes and convertibles from Zagato, Touring, Pininfarina, and others.

Collectors prize the 1900 for its historical significance and the sheer variety of beautiful custom bodies. The rarest and most sought-after are the short-wheelbase Super Sprint (CSS) models, especially those bodied by Zagato or Touring. These special variants are eligible for premier events like the Mille Miglia Storica, adding to their appeal. While the Berlina sedans remain relatively affordable, the coachbuilt cars have seen significant appreciation.

The market for the 1900 is defined by body style and provenance. An average sale price over $100,000 is driven by the high value of coachbuilt coupes. However, the wide price range indicates that sedans and project cars can still be acquired for much less, offering a more accessible entry point into classic Alfa Romeo ownership.

Prices range from around $9,500 for projects to over $235,000 for concours-quality, coachbuilt variants.
