These limited production Cabriolets possessed elegant lines, attractive proportions, fine detailing, and superb build quality. In terms of overall design, the Cabriolets built by Pinin Farina for Alfa Romeo were quite similar to those fitted to Lancia, Fiat, and Ferrari chassis of the same period.

The ideal restoration candidate that's been under the same ownership for the last 55 years. Eligible for Numerous Driving Events and Exclusive Concours dElegance.  The first recorded owner of this Pinin Farina Cabriolet was Leroy Bell Jr., a US Army Sergeant stationed at the 7th Evacuation Hospital in Darmstadt, Germany. In September 1964, he sold the Alfa Romeo to Barbara Urbielonis, a teacher working at the bases American Elementary School. Records on file indicate that at the time of her purchase, the Cabriolet was painted blue and had already accrued nearly 90,000 km. Over the next two years, Ms. Urbielonis had Auto-Friedrich, the local Alfa Romeo agent in Frankfurt, maintain the 1900C. When returning home to New Hampshire in 1966, she brought the prized Pinin Farina Cabriolet with her. Back in the US, the Alfa Romeo was driven occasionally until 1983, when it was finally parked in her home garage.Today, the unrestored 1900C shows 98,615 km on the odometer about 10,000 km more than it had in the mid-1960s. Although the Cabriolet is in need of a comprehensive restoration, the distinctive Pinin Farina bodywork now finished in off-white with red upholstery remains largely intact, with most of its important components and trim in place. Notably, this 1900C retains its original and highly sought-after tipo 1308 engine, as well as its original US Forces in Germany registration plate and more recent New Hampshire vanity plates complete with matching key chain tag. In addition to these notable features, this Alfa Romeo is offered with a file of records dating from its time in Germany, including paperwork relating to insurance, registration, and mechanical repairs. Just out of 56 year ownership, this unrestored Alfa Romeo is a most exciting find. Chassis no. AR1900C*01063Engine no.

AR 51

Alfa Romeo 1900 M AR 51 Matta - Sophisticated dual overhead cam engine - Independent front suspension for superior off-road capability - Very tough and reliable military-spec vehicle - Built by Alfa Romeo at the request of the Italian Ministry of Defense - 1 of 2075 built, with fewer than 100 in proper functioning condition today In 1951, the Italian Military was in need of a light reconnaissance vehicle for their troops to drive both on and off-road. At the time, Alfa Romeo was busy winning Formula 1 World Championships but was tapped by the Italian Ministry of Defense to help design and build a vehicle, able to explore some of the most remote parts of the world. The project was given to the legendary Alfa Romeo engineer Giuseppe Busso. Known for building brilliant race and road car engines, Busso set to work designing a vehicle that would be both durable and capable-all in just 10 months. Starting with a Land Rover 80, Busso began experimenting with alternative technical solutions to solve the numerous issues he had with the truck. The first thing he worked on was an independent front suspension to allow for greater articulation on rough roads while also making it more comfortable to drive on the street. As usual for Busso, the most advanced piece of the vehicle was the engine. Motivated by a 1.9-Liter Inline-4, the motor featured dual overheadcams with 2 valves per cylinder and an aluminum cylinder head on a cast iron block. Also, a dry sump lubrication system was integrated to allow the vehicle to lean up to 50 degrees without the engine experiencing oil starvation. These technical advancements made the AR51 far more capable than its contemporary off-road vehicles but also far more costly to produce.Upon the car's introduction, it was given the nickname Matta meaning crazy or mad which was coined by engineer Antonio Alessio. After watching a prototype drive up and down the steps of the Basilica of Assisi during a presentation to the public, he expressed ...this is Matta. When the Matta went into production in 1952, the Italian Military took it on numerous successful raids to many unexplored parts of the world. Led by Count Bonzi, Mattas led the charge to open a 7000km route from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean in South America as well as a trip to the North Pole. A Matta even went on to compete and win in the 1952 Mille Miglia in a class reserved for military vehicles!
