DESCRIPTION
** Regretfully Withdrawn **
In the 1960s, with the introduction of the 105 series, Alfa Romeo took 'Touring Car' racing by storm winning the European Touring Car Championship in 1966, 1967 and 1968. The later Alfa Romeo GTAm won further ETCC titles in 1970 and 1971.
This well prepared early Giulia Sprint GT historic race car was first modified for circuit racing in Denmark in 2001. Built from a genuine early 'Scalino' (step-font), RHD car imported from South Africa.
Prepared to FIA Appendix “K” specification, the car has been constantly developed and regularly maintained throughout its life. It's powered by a 1600cc Milan-manufactured 'Nord' engine built by Alfa Romeo engine guru, Jim Evans, which, we understand, produced a dyno reading of 157bhp at the flywheel. This power is transferred to the track through a 5-speed, close ratio gearbox, and a limited slip differential.
The car is fitted with a 'Safety Devices' roll cage, a long-range, FIA approved, foam-filled fuel cell, and obviously the appropriate seat, harness, extinguisher system and electrical cut-offs to comply with the regulations. As always with a competition car that has not been used recently, it's best to check the currency of those items that are dated.
Our vendor has enjoyed lots of success with this car including outings at the Spa Six Hours and finishing 9th overall in U2TC. However other commitments have meant that the car has seen little use in recent years.
Presented with a comprehensive portfolio of the car's race preparation, listing parts and labour and including photos of the work carried out, and complete with expired FIA HTP and HSCC papers, the car is eligible for a wide variety of UK & International FIA events including U2TC, CTCRC, HSCC, CSCC (Swinging Sixties & Classic K Series).
Everyone loves a 105 Alfa, none more so than this stylish Giulia Sprint with the purposeful looks of a GTAm. A fantastic little Alfa racer that could be a lot of fun and provides an affordable way on to some of Europe's most desirable grids.
