No Reserve Alfa Romeo Blue Prints and Pins Collection
Item Details
- location: Italy 21010
- Lot #: M-0050735
Available for auction is a collection of 39 Alfa Romeo factory blueprints featuring numerous models spanning over decades and 2 Alfa Romeo pins. The seller states the blueprints were a gift to his grandfather’s friend Luigi Fusi who worked for Alfa Romeo. Luigi Fusi joined Alfa Romeo in 1920 as an archivist in the technical department. In 1955 Fusi was appointed Head of Control Drawings, a position he retained until his retirement in 1967. The blue prints measure 19.6" x 11.8" and 33.4" x 25.5". 
During this time at Alfa Romeo, Fusi and his team were instructed to redraw and preserve many original pre-war Alfa Romeo blueprints as many were damaged during WWII. Fusi later became a curator for the marque’s Hall of Fame and wrote what many consider to be the authority on the company’s vintage and classic models, Alfa Romeo, Tutte Le Vetture Dal 1910 (All Cars From 1910). Several of the blueprints bear Fusi’s name. 
The drawings are applied to technical acetate tracing paper, which was used in the Alfa Romeo workshops in Arese, Milan to duplicate the master engineering blueprints for use elsewhere. Several of the documents feature a red “Richiesto Da Dipre” stamp, meaning they were requested by Alfa Romeo’s special projects and experiences division, possibly for developmental research. While most factory documents are thought to have been destroyed shortly after the Fiat takeover in the mid-eighties, a small number were retained by employees, making them rare and sought-after pieces of Italian motoring history.

Quite an impressive collection, true piece's of automotive history.
@Ettore77 Ah, ok, thank you. And apologies, I should have looked more closely.
@tfrost No, it’s a new different lot.
I think this is a relisting of a recently completed auction, right? Anything we should know about in terms of what happened to the sale?
