Unique Alfa Romeo 1900 looking for new owners

A one-off Alfa Romeo 1900 Coupe allegedly designed by Italian coachbuilder Autotecnica del Lario 56 years ago will go on sale next month. The seller expects it to fetch around £140,000.

The company headquartered next to Lake Como endowed the car with a special hand-crafted body kit machined from aluminum. The seller openly states that there is no documentary evidence of this particular Alfa Romeo being a work of Autotecnica del Lario. However, the telltale design features make such attribution rather easy. If so, that would mean the car belongs to a series of just eight units.

Powering the exotic is a 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine with dual carburetors and 100 PS (99 hp / 74 kW). The original 1900 model uses the same engine.

The current owner of the car had it restored from the ground up, repainting the body in a color more typical of English sports car classics.
