Available for auction is a square illuminated Alfa Romeo sign that proudly displays the 1980s rendition of the iconic company logo. This unique piece, measuring a substantial 39" in width, 39" in height, and 6" in depth, is a true collector's gem. According to the seller, it was sourced directly from a now-defunct Alfa repair shop nestled in the Piedmont region of Italy, it carries with it a touch of authentic Italian motoring heritage.
Originally designed to adorn the wall of the Italian establishment, this single-sided sign was originally configured for European 230v power standards. However, it has undergone meticulous re-wiring, now embracing the US 120v power specifications, complete with an accompanying plug for effortless integration into your space. The sign emanates a captivating glow through its fluorescent-style LED lighting, masterfully diffused by a translucent plastic face that elegantly encapsulates the company's legacy.
Crafted with precision, the sign features a durable steel frame that serves as the perfect complement to the logo's timeless design. An added touch of convenience comes in the form of a toggle power switch, ensuring seamless control over its luminous radiance. According to the seller, this sign will arrive encased in a custom-crafted wooden shipping crate, meticulously designed to protect this exquisite piece of Alfa Romeo history.
The sign is in excellent overall condition. There is one small crack in the acrylic under the metal frame that has been repaired and is not visible. This imperfection has been expertly repaired, rendering it virtually invisible to the discerning eye. Don't miss this opportunity to own a captivating artifact that encapsulates the spirit of Alfa Romeo's 1980s legacy. The buyer is responsible for shipping, handling, and fees.

Hi All--
Welcome to the first few days of the auction for this large, dynamic, Alfa Romeo dealership sign. This one was used at a now-defunct repair shop in Alessandra, Italy and we acquired it directly from the owner. It will come in a custom wood crate and we will be happy to assist with coordinating shipping.
While originally hardwired for 230v, this has been re-wired under our ownership to US 110v spec and can be plugged right into the wall.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
