LARGE ALFA ROMEO ILLUMINATED SIGN

Initially founded in Milan as just ‘A.L.F.A.’, which stood for ‘Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili’, within 10 years the Italian company was acquired by entrepreneur Nicola Romeo and had been rebranded. Its well-known logo, which has changed very little over the years, includes the red cross and the ‘biscione’ snake - both symbols of the city of Milan.



This lot consists of a very large, circular illuminated Alfa Romeo sign, which is believed to have been made within the last 20 years. The front panel is translucent plastic, while there is a blue circular metal frame that is folded over the edges of the front and the rear metal backing plate.

The light itself is a 12-volt low-emission item that does not warm up. As can be appreciated in the photo gallery, the sign works correctly, with a bright and even glow through the front panel. While there are minor signs of use, it is in generally excellent condition.

It measures a substantial 168cm in diameter, is 16cm in depth, and weighs approximately 28kg. As the front panel is relatively delicate, the seller is able to add a custom wooden frame box built for the sign that will protect it while in transit, at an additional cost of €250. Alternatively, the winning bidder can make their own arrangements to collect it safely.

This very large illuminated sign would be a fantastic addition to any passionate Alfa Romeo enthusiast’s collection. It could also be a great acquisition for a specialist Alfa Romeo dealer or restorer, where it could adorn the wall of a showroom or workshop.
