Imagine cruising through sun-kissed Mediterranean landscapes in a charming vintage camper van. The 1955 Alfa Romeo T10 Autotutto is a rare gem that embodies the essence of la dolce vita. While Alfa Romeo is renowned for its racing cars, this commercial model showcases the brand’s lesser-known but equally fascinating side.
The Camper Van’s History and Features
This particular T10 Autotutto started its life as a conventional van in Sicily before being converted into a camper. It boasts delightful details such as white piping on green vinyl seats and a roof-mounted 16-inch spare tire. The camper is powered by a 1158-cc supercharged diesel inline twin engine, producing 31 horsepower and reaching a top speed of 47 mph with its four-speed manual transmission.
Ideal for a Leisurely Holiday
The T10 Autotutto is not designed for high-speed adventures on the autostrada or tackling the Alps. Instead, it’s perfect for shipping to idyllic destinations like Sardinia or Sicily, where you can meander through quaint towns on back roads, stop at local cafés, and enjoy the simple pleasures. The camper comes equipped with a gas stove, sink, and picnic set, allowing you to cook, clean up, and dine under the shade of ancient olive trees.
A Piece of Automotive History
The auction for this vintage Alfa Romeo camper on Bring a Trailer ends on February 27. For those seeking an authentic 1950s European holiday experience, this could be the perfect opportunity. Pair the camper with a vintage film camera, and you’re ready to capture the essence of a bygone era.
