DESCRIPTION
INCOMING INVENTORY....
--White with Black interior and Black floor coverings, 1.6 Liter Engine, 5-speed manual gearbox, fully restored.
Autodelta was given the task of transforming the elegant touring car into a machine capable of successfully defending the marque's interests on the track. The body was lightened using a special alloy ""Peraluman 25"" for the exterior panels, while the steel platform was retained for rigidity. Elements such as the soundproofing were removed and the interior was stripped as necessary. Along with this radical weight change, the 1,570 cc Giulia engine received a modified cylinder head, twin-plug ignition, larger valves, increased compression ratio that raised the power to 115 bhp. The transmission and suspension were also modified to improve the handling of the standard series model. The new car was called the Sprint GTA, for ""Alleggerita"" (lightened). The price of a GTA was much higher than that of the standard Giulia GT, over a third more expensive than the basic price and not far off that of a TZ, underlining the extent of the modifications that completely transformed the car's personality. The new GTA was unveiled on 18 February 1965 at the Motor Show in Amsterdam. The GTA 1600 ceased production in 1969, Approximately 500 examples were built, with only 193 being Stradale (Street) versions and of those only 50 are RHD.
Alfa Romeo records confirm this GTA 1600 Stradale was produced on 19 July 1965 and sold on 28th July 1965 to Alfa Romeo UK, London. It had White coachwork with Black interiors and retains this livery today.
Full restoration by noted marque specialist, Alfaholics in UK. Original matching numbers engine built to 155BHP fast road specification with race crank & rods, forged pistons, billet cams, lightweight flywheel. Plus outfitted with fast road LSD installed in original axle and Alfaholics fast road GTA suspension handling kit.
A genuine GTA 1600 Stradale in exceptional condition throughout, extremely rare, it must be one of the finest available in every way.
