Alfa Romeo 1900 Primavera

The Alfa Romeo 1900 Primavera by Francis Lombardi.

Vehicle Overview

The Alfa Romeo 1900 Coupé Primavera was coachbuilder Francis Lombardi’s interpretation of Alfa Romeo’s renowned sports sedan, the 1900. Built on the 1900C chassis, the “C” denoting “Carrozzieri,” this version was based on the special chassis Alfa Romeo developed specifically for independent coachbuilders to craft their unique body styles. Introduced in 1953, Lombardi’s Primavera stood out as an elegant and distinctive variation of the already celebrated model. The Alfa Romeo 1900, designed by Orazio Satta, debuted in 1950 as Alfa Romeo’s first car to be built entirely on a production line. It also marked a significant shift for the company, being its first production model without a separate chassis. Initially unveiled to a wider audience at the 1950 Paris Motor Show, the 1900 quickly gained popularity due to its innovative engineering, advanced suspension system, and impressive performance. The model was highly adaptable, lending itself well to various coachbuilt interpretations, including the Primavera. Francis Lombardi, an Italian aircraft pilot-turned-coachbuilder, was known for his bespoke automotive creations. His version of the 1900, the Primavera, embodied a refined and graceful design. While maintaining the sporty essence of the original Alfa Romeo 1900, Lombardi introduced a sleek coupe body that featured elegant lines, a slightly more luxurious interior, and unique stylistic elements that set it apart from factory-built Alfa models. The 1900 Coupé Primavera reflected the artisanal craftsmanship of Francis Lombardi’s workshop, with carefully designed proportions and detailing that emphasized both sportiness and sophistication. Though relatively rare, it remains a testament to the golden era of Italian automotive design, when coachbuilders had the freedom to reimagine production models into works of art. Today, the Alfa Romeo 1900 Coupé Primavera is a sought-after collector’s piece, admired for its rarity and timeless elegance.

The Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint: A Closer Look

Alfa Romeo’s 1900 had already proven itself as a jack-of-all-trades—comfortable enough for family road trips yet eager to show its claws on the racetrack. But not everyone was satisfied. Enthusiasts craved more power, while purists bemoaned the lack of a proper floor-mounted gearshift. And then there were the coachbuilding connoisseurs—those who longed for a coupé, a cabriolet, or a bare chassis they could hand over to Italy’s finest carrozzerie for a tailor-made masterpiece.
