Philadelphia’s Milanese marvels

To find one Alfa Romeo that has been stored for more than 40 years is unusual, but to unearth five untouched Milanese classics is particularly special.

That is exactly what happened to the team from dealer LBI Limited of Philadelphia, USA (Instagram: @lbilimited), in 2020.

We can’t resist another look.

Opening Aladdin’s cave

“We received a tip-off from a friend about some old Alfa Romeos lying in a barn located in central Pennsylvania,” says LBI’s Adolfo Massari.

“It was a collection of five Alfas in which three of them were sealed in a lean-to type of barn. This building had been constructed specifically to entomb these cars.”

A Super find for an Alfa fan

Perhaps the star car in the barn was this 1967 Giulia Super.

“Typically, leads such as this rarely amount to anything,” says Massari, “but this find was a surprising exception and the timing was just right because the owner was ready to sell.”

Twin-cam classics see the light

Also housed in the lean-to was a 1969 Alfa 1750 Berlina and a 1976 Alfetta GT (pictured), while a separate garage on the same property contained a 1962 Guilietta Spider and a 1959 Giulietta Sprint.
