The cabin is trimmed in beige leather with matching upholstery and burgundy accents over the door panels and rear shelf. The seller notes that the car pulls to the left during hard braking and sometimes exhibits a front-end shimmy when traversing a pothole. The wheel cylinders and brake master cylinder are said to have been rebuilt between 20, with the right-rear cylinder again rebuilt in 2020. Stopping is handled by finned aluminum drum brakes all around, with duplex actuation and factory cooling scoops up front.

Imperfections are noted in various areas of the older finish. According to the seller, the hood and cowl were repaired and repainted in 2017 following a mishap with the hood. This example wears Touring body number 4278 and was repainted in red during the 1990 refurbishment carried out in Savannah, Georgia, reportedly using DuPont finishes with a tinted clearcoat. Launched in 1954, the second series, or Tipo 3, adopted the higher-powered Super engine while retaining the earlier versions’ five-window styling. Built on the short-wheelbase Corto platform, the Touring-bodied Sprint and Super Sprint coupes feature alloy panels over a steel spaceframe. The 1900 was introduced in 1950 as Alfa Romeo’s first model with unitary construction, and variations of the chassis were supplied to independent coachbuilders.

The aluminum bodywork received a repaint in red during a 1990 refurbishment, while the numbers-matching 1,975cc inline-four was rebuilt in the 1980s. It was acquired in New Jersey in the late 1970s by North American Alfa Romeo 1900 Register editor Joost Gompels, with whom it remained until the seller’s purchase in 2014. It was subsequently imported to the US, where it was reportedly later discovered on Long Island in an abandoned state in the 1970s.
