1965 Alfa Romeo 1600 GTA 175 HP Motor

Manufactured by Alfa Romeo in July 1965 and delivered new to the Senegalese importer, this car (613760) quickly found its way into the hands of Franco Angelini, the well-known and respected Roman Alfa Romeo tuner whose semi works cars were always front runners either harrying or beating the Autodelta cars. One of several GTAs fielded in 1965 through 1967 by Angelini, and retained by him until 1993, it was used by his regular line up of drivers to contest The European and Italian Touring Car Championships, numerous National and local races, and the important Italian and European Hill Climb Championships. Driven by some of the famous names of the era in Italian motorsport; Ignazio Giunti, Aldo Ceruti (“Baronio”), Angelo Pelatelli, Carlo Benelli (“Ricardone”) among others

Finished in its period correct white and red livery that all the Angelini competition cars wore, 613760 is unmolested and shows no evidence of any serious damage. Original and correct in every way for European Historic racing with a fresh 175 HP motor by Montanari and a close ratio gearbox, 613760 is in original specification and comes with a complete history file, FIA HTP (Historical Vehicle Passport), Italian CSAI Logbook and continuous Italian vehicle registrations to its first registration in the name of Franco Angelini. Additionally, a complete sliding block (or “Slittone”) rear suspension system is available for a US based Historic racer.
