Lot details
Registration No: PMC 30D
Chassis No: AR753220
Mot Expiry: Jun 2016
- Two owners from new and dry stored for the last thirty-one years
- Stripped to a bare shell and fully restored by Severn Classics to 'FIA' spec
- Approx. 80:20 split between new Alfaholics and refurbished original parts
Further Info:
The immortally handsome 105/115 Series Coupes were manufactured by Alfa Romeo from 1963 to 1977. Their ground-breaking lines were among the first to be penned for Bertone by the, as yet, relatively unknown master stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro. The Sprint GT was the first variant offered and had a three-year lifespan - 1963-1966, and was powered by a lusty 1570cc version of Alfa's sonorous light-alloy twin-cam engine. The model was very well received and some 31,955 examples were produced all told, a good number of which found their way into motorsport, where they were very successful - and still are today, courtesy of a vibrant range of suitable historic formulae.
If you're looking to compete in a Sprint GT, then this, 'as-new', Rosso Red Alfa is for you. A genuine two-owner car, it was dry-stored for 31 years before being treated to a ground-up restoration by Severn Classics, during which it was prepared to 'FIA standard' for hill climbing, sprinting and racing. The vendor says there are too many new parts to mention, but reckons 20 percent of the mechanical items have been professionally refurbished, and the other 80 percent replaced with fresh ones from marque specialist Alfaholics. The Sprint was initially stripped, shot-blasted and new floor pans, door skins, bonnet, boot and wide arches installed. The engine was dipped, vapour blasted and sonic cleaned, and then fully refurbished; as were the gearbox, rear axle and braking and suspension systems. The motorsport parts include roll cage, competition seats and belts, alloy panelling and fuel tank, and the new tyres and Gold-coloured 8x15 wheels on which the Alfa now rides. Now considered by the vendor to be 'excellent' in all major respects, it is on the button and ready for a new keeper to enjoy; and indeed win with.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicles doors are protruding due to the fitment of new Alfa Romeo rubber seals.
