AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Alfa Romeo Alfetta 158/159 – Rare Vintage Cast Metal Racing Car Model – 40 cm – Circa 1950s (Attributed)
Rare and interesting vintage large-scale model representing an Alfa Romeo Alfetta racing car, stylistically attributable to the legendary Alfa Romeo Tipo 158/159 single-seaters, which competed in international motor racing during the 1940s and 1950s.
Measuring approximately 39–40 cm in length, this impressive model features a solid cast metal body, presumably made of zinc alloy (Zamak), finished in traditional Alfa Romeo racing red with gold-coloured details.
The racing number 37 is displayed on the rear section of the body.
The model features several distinctive details, including:
- Original-style circular Alfa Romeo badge on the body.
- Four entirely metal wheels with gold-coloured centres and black outer rims.
- Three-spoke metal steering wheel.
- Small transparent windscreen.
- Open single-seat cockpit.
- Decorative gold-coloured details.
Its construction, materials, proportions and dimensions are comparable to those of large Alfa Romeo promotional models produced around the mid-20th century, which are now sought after by collectors of vintage racing memorabilia and historic model cars.
However, the exact manufacturer, production date and possible promotional origin have not been definitively established.
Condition
The model is in vintage condition, showing signs of age and use, including surface wear, scratches, areas of oxidation and paint imperfections.
Important: The cast metal body suffered a crack or break in the past and has subsequently undergone a structural repair.
The repaired area is clearly visible on the underside of the model, around the central section of the body, and is documented in the photographs.
The date and method of this repair are unknown.
The presence of any additional restoration work or repainting has not been verified.
The model is offered as found and as shown in the photographs, which form an integral part of the description.
