While most GTAs were either supplied in “Stradale” form or subsequently upgraded to “Corsa” specification after delivery, AR752675 was destined for competition from the outset. A Certificato di Origine on file confirms that the car was manufactured on 8 September 1965 and is believed to have been delivered to the renowned Autotecnica Conrero Team on 31 August 1966—unusually, in right-hand-drive form. One of the most celebrated privateers in Italy, Autotecnica Conrero was established in 1951 and quickly established a stellar reputation for tuning Alfa Romeos and racing them to victory around the world.

It is believed this car was almost immediately repainted in the Conrero colors of white with a yellow noseband, after which AR752675 was raced extensively under the Conrero/“Jolly Club” banner. In 1969, the car was sold to privateer Siegfried Kopcke, who raced the car in German Touring Car events. The following year, the car was sold to fellow competitor Dieter Machatius, apparently with a blown engine.

The GTA would remain in Germany for a long period of time, although in the 1970s and 1980s it endured prolonged periods of inactivity, punctuated by occasional use as a road car. It was then purchased by another individual—a noted GTA authority—in 1995 and was subsequently completely restored to “as new” condition.

One of the hallmarks of the GTA was its usage of an alloy body shell and extensive use of magnesium components, and it is important to note that this car retains a number of those desirable magnesium parts, including the oil pan and magnesium valve covers. The car also carries a proper GTA transmission and Autodelta rear axle, as well as the very desirable first-series Campagnolo magnesium wheels. Attesting to its competition history, the original Conrero plate can be found on the dashboard, and its original homologation number can be found stamped in the trunk.

Equally at home on road or track, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored example of one of Alfa Romeo’s milestone designs, with period racing history, enticing provenance, and a world of possibilities available to its next owner.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo25/.
