By 1953 technical and performance improvements successfully challenged more powerful and costly competitors. The newly developed dual overhead cam alloy-head four cylinder engine featured hemispherical combustion chambers dual carburetors and floor shift five speed transmissions which also came with different gear ratios and "Alfin" self-adjusting rear brakes. The CSS variants (referred to as Tipo 2 or Series Il) were formidable performers Success in the Targa Florio the Stella Alpina and the Coupe des Alpes earned Alfa Romeo the slogan "The Family Car That Wins Races".

The numbers-matching twin cam engine was professionally rebuilt prior to the purchase from Fantasy Junction 2015 Today the car presents as a very capable touring car with confidence-inspiring mechanical condition and attractive cosmetics that still encourage driving. The black paint is glossy throughout showing minor swirls and minor evidence of use and age but overall representing a high driver level finish. All panels display good fit throughout the car with the passenger's side door being slightly proud or the rear fender edge. The black paint creates a vivid contrast against the delicate chrome and polished trim while the glass lenses windshield and expansive glass are clear and show only mild signs of mellowing.
