Alfa Romeo – passenger cars and SUV converted into commercial vehicles beyond the named ranges: the F12 van, Giulia Giardinetta estates and Stelvio, 110 to 147 kW, four- and five-cylinder engines
This collective page lists Alfa Romeo models outside the named ranges that are registered as light commercial vehicles — from the classic estate version of the Giulia Super known as 'Giardinetta', through the 156 and 159 saloons with their Sportwagon estate forms, to the current Stelvio SUV. The F12, by contrast, was Alfa Romeo's own delivery van based on Giulia mechanicals, built from 1967 to 1983; AR 51 and A12 denote early commercial models from the brand, and 'Auto Carro' is Italian for truck or delivery van.

The register lists 17 versions with 110 to 147 kW from four- and five-cylinder engines of 1,290 to 2,380 cc, unladen weights of 950 to 1,775 kg, gross vehicle weights of 1,315 to 2,600 kg, lengths of 3,300 to 4,687 mm and widths of 1,530 to 1,903 mm.
Registering passenger estates and the Stelvio SUV as light commercial vehicles takes advantage of tax benefits under commercial registration and occurs mainly in markets with corresponding rules for estates and off-road vehicles; the standalone F12 van, by contrast, served the classic trade and delivery segment in 1970s Italy.
When buying used estate and SUV conversions, check for rust at the loading edge and rear wheel arches and the condition of the reinforced load floor fitted after conversion; on the F12, also check the overall body rust condition and the availability of mechanical parts, which is very limited and largely dependent on the Giulia parts base.
