Work and play, two things that go hand in hand with the 1955 Alfa Romeo 1900C SS Berlinetta by Zagato.
Crafted in 1954 and believed to be the 23rd out of 39 units produced, this 1900C SS stands out as a quintessential example of a high-end collector car.
Sporting a rich Italian racing history, this specific 1900C SS has participated in several events such as the Mille Miglia and Stella Alpina. Throughout its racing career, this Alfa steadily progressed positions, securing a few podiums in class.
Don’t want to race? No problem.
When the Alfa arrived in the United States in 1950, Ernie Mendicki, a well-known dealer, racer and collector, purchased the car for its leisure appeal. Since then, the Alfa Romeo has passed through the care of other racers before being displayed at the Blackhawk Museum in the mid-2000s.
After undergoing a mechanical rebuild totaling more than $129,000, this rare Zagato-bodied Berlinetta is for sale from RM Sotheby’s with an asking price of $745,000.
