History / Overview
The Alfa Romeo 1900 is a sedan produced by Alfa Romeo: it was the first to be built in large-scale production on an assembly line, the first with a monocoque bodyshell, and also the first with standard left-hand drive. This 1952 example belongs to the early versions of the 1900 with a very low chassis number, delivered new in Italy, and it presents itself in good condition with a valid inspection.
Exterior
The exterior paintwork was restored by the previous owner a few years ago and is still in good condition. The chrome trim is bright and solid and was restored in the past; all the details are still in good condition, as are all the period features. A polishing and detailing treatment has just been completed.
The underbody has been restored in the past and is generally very solid, like the rest of the structure; there are no signs of accidents.
Internal
The interior is in beautiful condition with minimal signs of wear, it is fully usable and complete. The seats are in good condition, as are the door panels and the headliner. The dashboard is complete and original; the rare details are all in their places as we would expect from a car of solid construction. The steering wheel, along with the knobs and all the small parts, are well cared for and well finished. The entire cabin has been recently sanitized.
MECHANICS
The engine is the original factory engine as shown in the service history extract and on the registration document; it has been kept in good condition and properly maintained, with regular starts, it starts easily and is usable. The transmission is functioning, as is the clutch; the gears operate correctly and the brakes are present and in good order for road use. The technical inspection was passed without defects in July 2025, valid until July 2027, and the car is road-legal, however a routine pre-use check before long journeys is advised.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
