The 1973 Alfa Romeo Berlina 1750 occupies a significant place in the Alfa lineup, celebrated for its versatile design, high-performance roots, and practicality. Alfa initially designed the Berlina to deliver the power and agility Alfa enthusiasts expect while accommodating the space and comfort of a classic European executive sedan. Built with a slightly longer wheelbase and a wider, planted stance than Alfa’s sports cars, the Berlina was both refined and ready to handle spirited drives, even becoming known as a “gentleman’s sedan.” This was a model that didn’t simply mimic the look and feel of a sports car but genuinely embodied the Alfa philosophy of performance and elegance. Paired with a 1.8L engine known for its smooth twin-cam power delivery, the Berlina’s unique styling, subtlety, and speed have helped it earn a revered place among Alfa enthusiasts and collectors.

Under the hood, the Berlina’s 1.8L twin-cam engine has been rebuilt from the ground up, restoring the exhilarating performance Alfa Romeos are known for. Recognized for its lively, rev-happy nature, the engine pairs beautifully with the completely redone gearbox, allowing smooth, crisp shifting that enhances the spirited Alfa experience. Every mechanical component, from the exhaust to the suspension, has been carefully inspected and restored to original specifications or replaced with period-accurate parts. These upgrades give the Berlina an authentic, road-ready feel that’s just as responsive as it would have been fifty years ago. Together, the engine and drivetrain reflect Alfa’s signature ability to balance comfort with thrill, making this Berlina a joy to drive.

Inside, the cabin has been expertly refreshed to ensure it’s as stylish and comfortable as it was in its heyday. The seats, side panels, and carpets have all been redone in period-correct materials, respecting the car’s vintage aesthetic while updating it to meet modern standards of comfort. Alfa’s attention to detail shines through in this restoration; every stitch and trim has been carefully chosen to reflect the original design. Known for its airy, inviting layout, the Berlina’s cabin invites you to sit back, take in the high-quality craftsmanship, and enjoy each journey with an interior true to Alfa’s vision. Even the steering wheel, gauges, and switchgear have been thoughtfully restored to provide a fully immersive vintage experience.

The undercarriage, often an overlooked component in classic restorations, has been completely addressed to provide a structurally sound, corrosion-free base. With Alfa’s precision handling and this model’s inherently balanced drive, the updated undercarriage and suspension ensure smooth, responsive maneuverability on every road. New plumbing and an overhauled brake system mean the Berlina handles like a dream, with the durability and stability to take on everything from quick drives to long-distance touring.

To match the mechanical updates, the electrical system has been comprehensively modernized with care. New wiring throughout provides reliability without compromising the original look, making this Berlina as dependable as a modern car while retaining its authentic charm. Concealed updates ensure you can enjoy driving without concerns about vintage wiring issues, a subtle touch that complements the car’s original allure without sacrificing its integrity.
