This fine Alfa Romeo 1300 was originally a left-hand-drive Italian shell and was later converted to RHD as it stands today. This particular shell was chosen as it was rust-free and presented the perfect platform to develop a brilliant track car upon.
Once brought to the UK in 2015, this Alfa underwent an enormous transformation with over £36K’s worth of Alfaholic parts and specialist labour. First UK owners were Sir Drummond Bond and John Bennet (President and Chairman of the Maserati Club UK) who made the little Alfa competitive for the prestigious Vernasca Silver Flag Hill Climb in Italy, where it competed four times prior to the current owners acquisition. The accumulation of Alfaholics parts alone ensures the lucky new owner is getting tremendous value for money. The work qualified this car for SMRC technical race certification.
You will be pleased to know that the vehicle will come with a fantastic amount of paperwork, which even includes the original Italian paperwork. Also included are previous MOT certificates, the V5C document ready for the new owner, and invoices for previous labour & parts.
As mentioned, this Alfa Romeo benefits from a huge array of Alfaholics upgrades and motorsport modifications. Most notable of which is the Alfaholics big valve Monza Nord 2000cc package, along with billet rods. As part of the Alfaholics upgrade process, the car has been dyno tested and is set up perfectly for spirited driving.
If you’re in the market for a historic track car or weekend toy, look no further than this absolute gem. More pictures coming soon.
