The 1955 Alfa Romeo 1900C Super Sprint Zagato Competition Berlinetta offered here is without doubt one of the finest examples of this exclusive high performance Alfa Romeo in existence. 5th August 1955 - racing cyclist Mario Binda in Milan on 5th August 1955 195. - exported to the USA where by 1961 - J C Edwards, California. 1961/after - engine block and cylinder head were replaced with Alfa Romeo 2000 equivalents, 196. - Jay Jacobs 196. - Philip Musser of Pt.

"It currently has a 2000 Sprint/Spyder block (vintage around 1959) and head as fitted around 1960. It was tuned and prepared by Epifani. This is a much better engine, with the later Giulia system of valve gear. We covered some 5,000 km over the years and never had to take it apart. No mechanical failures, no crashes, not even a small dent or scratch. It also comes with a period spare 1900C SS engine with carburetors and air filter as used in the Super Sprint of the mid-Fifties."
