Discover Alfa Romeo 2000 Vignale

A rare jewel in the world of classic motoring, this Alfa Romeo 2000 Vignale is more than just a car—it's a rolling piece of Italian design history.

Hand-built in 1961 by the legendary Carrozzeria Vignale in Turin, only 47 units of this exclusive model were ever produced. Based on the Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider (Type 102) chassis, it marked the evolution of the iconic Type 1900 and represented a final flourish of custom coachbuilding before mass production reshaped the automotive world.

​

This specific car—Chassis No. 45—was delivered on July 25, 1961, and sold to a Milanese customer in early 1962. It later crossed the Atlantic, spending time in the United States before finding its way into the hands of renowned collector Corrado Lopresto, a name synonymous with preserving Italy's coachbuilding heritage. Under his ownership, the car underwent a meticulous, expert-led restoration in Italy and began making its mark on the concours scene.

Between 2009 and 2014, it was a regular star at European and American Concours d’Elegance events, collecting accolades including:

• Best in Show – Concorso di Ludwigsburg & Concorso di Mulhouse (2009)

• 1st Place – Baden Baden, Salvarola Terme, Spa-Francorchamps

• Most Sporting Post-War Car – Milwaukee Concours d’Elegance (2011)
  ...and many more.

In February 2025, the car entered a new chapter when I purchased it from Net Classics in Quarrata, Tuscany. Carefully transported to Classic Remise Berlin, a historic venue for automotive heritage, it is now proudly showcased by Preselect—a fitting home for a car of this stature.
