1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta « Sprint Zagato » (R)

1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta « Sprint Zagato » (R)
French registration title

The Alfa Romeo Sprint Zagato is the most powerful of the Giuliettas, with its Veloce engine boosted to 100 hp, shortened wheelbase, weight reduced by over 100 kg and speed of over 200 km/h| it is also the rarest, with fewer than 200 examples built (including the Coda Ronda and Coda Tronca versions)
The car we are presenting is a faithful reconstruction, made some thirty years ago in an excellent Italian workshop, with aluminium body, very well prepared AR00102 type engine (Giulietta Sprint of the same period), 5-speed gearbox, Zagato seats, original magnesium wheels, etc.
The car, duly registered in France with the identity of the authentic SZ #00064, has been in the hands of the same French owner for almost 30 years| it seems that the real #00064 has survived, in the hands of an Italian collector
Well-known on the French Historic Competition Vehicle scene, our SZ can boast a participation in the Tour Auto in 2011 for which it benefited from a rebuilt and prepared engine, and still perfectly operational| please note that it is equipped with a Plexiglas windscreen, and front disc brakes (like the real #00064)
With a lovely patina and all the hallmarks of an authentic Alfa thoroughbred racer from the 1960s, our SZ will appeal to historic racing enthusiasts who want to enter a fine replica in the most prestigious events, such as Le Mans Classic or the Tour Auto| an opportunity not to be missed, especially at a third of the value of an authentic example
