The Alfa-Romeo 1900 was the successor to the 6C 2500, which had been designed before the Second World War, and was based on a monocoque structure rather than a body on chassis. It was unveiled on 2 October 1950 in Milan. The car, designed entirely under the supervision of Orazio Satta Puliga, contained many refined technical developments.
The "heart" of the Alfa Romeo 1900 was its engine. With this new model, the Milanese manufacturer abandoned six- and eight-cylinder engines in favour of powertrains that avoided excessive taxation. However, the Alfa Romeo tradition was respected, with a light alloy cylinder head, two overhead camshafts and hemispherical chambers. The Alfa Romeo 1900 was presented to the press on 2 October 1950 in Milan at the Hotel Principe di Savoia. The official presentation took place at the Paris Motor Show in October of the same year. From 1952, the year in which the production lines were fully operational, a TI (Turismo Internazionale) version was introduced to satisfy the requirements of sporting customers who wanted to take part in races in this category.
Between 1954 and 1957, 478 examples of the 1900 Super Ti were built. The successor to the TI (100 bhp and 1884 cm3), it had its engine capacity increased to 1957 cm3 and its power peaked at 115 bhp thanks to two SOLEX twin-barrel carburettors and a special exhaust system developed by Abarth. It is eligible for the Mille Miglia, the Tour Auto, the Targa Florio, the Panamericana, the Monte Carlo Historique, etc...

To date, there appear to be fewer than 10 examples left in the world. The car was built in May 1955 and delivered directly to France (Alfa Romeo certificate of origin).

Its first owner is said to have been Louis MALLE (the film-maker), the warranty booklet is in the name of his cousin (François POLLET), one of the owner's uncles, a neighbour of Mr Pollet, bought the car from him and his father bought it in 1960! The bodywork, mechanics and chrome have been redone. The colour of the car is an original ALFA ROMEO shade, but the original one is "Grigio Marina". The file includes the original booklets (warranty certificate and workshop manual), the spare wheel, the tool kit and the original jack. The file also includes a copy of his father's registration document dated 8 August 1960.
