Welcome!
This website is produced for the benefit and enjoyment of owners and admirers of Alfa Romeo automobiles of the 1900 Series built in Milan from 1950 to 1959. The purpose includes the cultivation of an accurate register of survivors and provision of a forum for the exchange of knowledge and information. Publication of The Mostly 1900 Irregular Newsletter and the Bollettino were associated activities but both are moribund at present due to other media such as the AR1900 Companion site.
Members, readers, cognisanti, car-guys, viewers, voyeurs, visitors, site-surfers, sightseers, gawkers, the curious and any others are invited to make their views known. Participation makes us what we are to be. We want to be better but that is hard without your help.
Thanks for visiting.

Readers are encouraged to visit the Companion site (click on the alfa1900 link above in the blue band) to view news and pictures concerning 1900s and related matters of interest to their owners (and visitors) .Why not let us have your input from time to time on such matters which we suggest you keep mainly 1900-ish related. The companion site also features the debut of an interesting article on the Disco Volante by the late Renan Uflacker of Charleston SC and also more recently on one in particular and lesser known version the Fianchi Stretti. Enjoy.

1954 Sportiva
Many of us have many “if only’s”. Perhaps Alfa Romeo did as well. The enigmatic Sportiva of 1954 that never saw the light of day is one of those. Many savants feel this car would have been a winner and would have materially improved the course of history for Alfa Romeo. Others will say the concentration on producing the Giulietta that probably forced aside the development of the Sportiva ended up being the better bet. Be that as it may, those interested in Alfa lore will relish the definitive account of the prototype development set forth in the article authored by Ben Hendriks then editor of the house organ “Het Klaverblaadje “ in 1997 of the Dutch Stichting Club Alfa Romeo Bezitters (SCARB). It is a wonderfully well woven tale and we are grateful that SCARB has permitted us to reproduce a translation in English in the archives of this website for the enjoyment of Alfa Romeo 1900 owners and enthusiasts.

Latest On B.A.T. 11
B.A.T. 11 is now owned by and in the possession of Gary Kaberle. He is gradually fulfilling his dreams with this car and we believe that Alfa Romeo has set aside an 8C Competizione platform for him.

Alfa' stunning project - the 6C3000CM
The Boano version for President Peron of the ex Fangio LM Colli coupe, subsequently owned by Henry Wessells, subsequently converted back into a Colli coupe, subsequently owned by Larry Auriana, is currently actively campaigned in vintage racing. This engine bay shot is actually that in the PF version but is virtually identical.
