Alfa Romeo Type 105 Competition prepared engine + 4 wheels & tyres
Engine no. AR00502/A*18975*

This Alfa Romeo Tipo 105 engine was prepared to GTA 1600 specification by marque specialists Ital Auto in Germany for Mr Jürgen End.

Introduced in 1965, the GTA (the 'A' stood for Alleggerita - lightened) was the official competition version of the Giulia Sprint GT. Alfa's classic twin-cam 1,570cc four-cylinder engine underwent extensive modification for the GTA: the angle between the valves being reduced from 90 to 80 degrees and the valve sizes substantially increased; there no longer being room between them for a central spark plug, a change was made to twin-plug ignition. In road trim the revised engine produced 115bhp with up to 170 horsepower available in race tune.

Complete (with Weber carburettors fitted) and in running order, this well prepared competition engine produces around 180 horsepower (see dynamometer printout dating 2015 on file). The engine has been re-stamped with the number AR00502/A*18975*. Four Alfa Romeo wheels complete with tyres are included in the sale.
