1996 Alfa Romeo RZ

The product of another successful collaboration between Alfa Romeo and Zagato, the Sprint Zagato (SZ) and the later Roadster Zagato (RZ) were all built in left-hand drive and were powered by the Alfa 75's 3.0-litre V6 engine capable of a reported 210 horsepower. The Alfa 75 floorpan was the basis of both cars, whilst the bodywork was a thermos-plastic / injection-moulded composite with an aluminium roof. Only 1,036 SZ cars were produced and only 284 RZ models, making this a very rare and collectable car today.This particular example is No.187 in the production series and is finished in Giallo Fly Yellow with a Nero leather interior. Exported to Japan, the history file includes records of the service history whilst there. The car made its way to the UK and has now been registered with the DVLA. It was then sold by respected Ferrari specialist Joe Macari to the previous owner, who used the car very little.Most recently it has had a light service and the wheels have been refurbished. The car will arrive at the auction with a fresh MOT and is supplied with a UK V5c. Now showing an unwarranted 36,946km this car presents an opportunity to own a special piece of Alfa Romeo history.
