Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1951 Alfa Romeo AR51 Matta is a rare, no-reserve, 4x4 vehicle with an Italian title. Featuring an Alfa 1900 twin-cam engine, the Matta is noted for its beautiful condition and careful maintenance, with a documented history including military use and a single owner since the 1970s. While innovative, it lost out to the Fiat Campagnola for military use, making it a rare piece with only around 2,000 produced.

Condition

The car is described as being in beautiful condition and well-preserved, complete with original tools, spare wheels, and a tarpaulin. It is reported to be functioning correctly. The listing notes that the car came out of military use in the 1970s and has had only one owner since then, which suggests careful maintenance. However, as a military vehicle that is over 70 years old, one should anticipate at least some wear. I would need to see photos to assess the condition with better accuracy.

C'est pourtant le cas de cet AR51 Matta, produit par la marque milanaise à la suite d'un appel d'offre du ministère italien de la Défense.
Les lettres AR signifiaient "Autovettura da Ricognizione" et le chiffre 51 correspondait à la date de mise en service.
Le moteur avait été modifié (distribution, taux de compression) pour être plus adapté à ce nouvel usage, et la voiture était plutôt sophistiquée pour un véhicule tout-terrain.
Fiat avait également répondu à l'appel d'offre avec un engin plus adapté (la Campagnola), moins cher et qui a été préféré par l'armée, ce qui n'a pas empêché Alfa Romeo de produire quelque 2 000 ...
