1956 Alfa Romeo 1900C Super Sprint Barchetta
Coachwork by Carrosserie Ghia Aigle

This incredible 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900C Super Sprint Barchetta will be offered at our upcoming Gstaad Sale on 3 July.

The first owner commissioned Ghia Aigle to produce a car styled and inspired by Riva speedboats: no doors, no boot, and a boat-type windscreen.

Completed in 1956 but not registered for the road until September 1958, this car was displayed at the Concorso d'Eleganza Autovettura Campione d'Italia in October 1956. In April 2001, the car was shown at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Cernobbio, Italy.

This unique example of a landmark model from one of motoring's most charismatic marques carries audacious coachwork by Carrosserie Ghia, Aigle, the Swiss offshoot of the famous Italian styling house. Currently EU registered, this unique and wonderful car would be welcome at any of the world's most prestigious concours events.
