The Unique Story Of a Very Special Alfa Romeo 1900

The 1900 saloon occupies a unique place in #AlfaRomeo history. Presented in October 1950, not only was Alfa's first unibody construction, but it also was the first model designed to be manufactured by the thousands on a production line. The #1900Super was introduced in 1954. Sales of the model peaked that year, but the introduction of the smaller Giulietta led Alfa Romeo's management to reposition the 1900 range, offering more luxury and comfort at a more attractive price, made possible by more efficient production processes. The Scuderia Del #Portello bought and recommissioned this 1900 back in 1986 and used it for a few years on high-profile regularity events. Chiefly among those, the 1989 and 1990 editions of the Mille Miglia, driven by none other than Paris-Dakar winner Edi Orioli. Later on, this 1900 upheld the Scuderia's honors in circuit racing, winning the 1993 FIA European Championship driven by the legendary Bruno Bonini.
