We have the pleasure to offer this splendid and refurbished Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA for sale on behalf of its current long-time owner.Anyone familiar with Alfa Romeos history and cars will know the GTA Touring car which was produced from 1965 to 1971. Its purpose was simple: competition, hence its last A character standing for Alleggerita or lightweight evidenced by a lightweight Peraluman 25 body pop-rivetted to the chassis, magnesium alloy wheels, aluminium upper control arms, plastic side windows, lighter door handles and a spartan interior with bucket seats. The 1,570 cc DOHC engine featured a new high-flow cylinder head with larger valves and twin plug ignition. Two 45 mm twin-barrel Weber carburettors made sure enough fuel and air was delivered to the engine. The cam cover, sump, timing cover, bell housing and rear gearbox cover were made from Elektron, a special magnesium alloy for further weight savings. The gearbox was also adjusted, with the gear ratios being closer and machined differently to save more weight and improve shifting. All these special weight saving measures resulted in the GTA weighting a mere 745 kgs, a staggering 205 kg weight reduction compared to the GT.From its appearance on the race track, the GTA was hugely successful with many outright and class victories. It was known for its agility and amazing handling and the GTA has since been a coveted and sought after car which has continued to be the case up to today.Our car, chassis 613875, was manufactured on December 19th 1966 in white (Bianco) color with black (Neri) interior upon which it was dispatched to Alfa Romeo Germany. We assume that the car remained in Germany for the next 15 years as it is listed in Tony Adriaenssens Alleggerita book as being registered in Hamburg on July 24th 1981 with plate HH-E 42". It was then acquired by Dutch dealer/racer David Hart who sold the car in 1993 to fellow dutchman Eric Heerema. Heerema and his team spared no expense in preparing the car for the Historic Touring Car Championship which they ran very successfully in the next several years regularly beating the factory supported Scuderia Del Portello GTAs. After 7 years of racing, Heerema sold the car to UK historic racer Peter Sugden who kept the car for 8 years until selling it to the current UK owner in 2009.GTA #613875 has since competed in many U2TC championships being looked after by renowned preparer Andy Wolfe. Amongst its many U2TC races, it also competed in the 2011 Tour Auto where it won the famous Bois de Bager stage driven by Richard Meaden and finished the event 1st in class and 6th overall. Andy Wolfe who confirmed the cars originality still carrying its original floor pan and sills - has recently completely refurbished the car including a new FIA fuel bag and fresh repaint. The engine (dyno-sheet available) and gearbox were also rebuild and have seen very little use since. Last but not least, this stunning GTA comes with a Period F (1962 to 1965) FIA HTP which is valid until 2026, a UK V5 road registration and an excellent spares package whereby a 2nd, spare GTA-engine is also available as an option.This is a rare opportunity to acquire a no-stories, genuine and properly sorted Alfa Romeo GTA which is ready to be enjoyed on the race track as well as in rallies such as Tour Auto, Modena Cento Ore and others. ...
