Description
For sale in our forthcoming auction during Le Mans Classic, on 30 June 2023:
Collection from a family of Alfa Romeo enthusiasts
French title
Chassis n° ZAREAEHV4M7656706
- Only 76 km since new! Condition like new
- "Silverstone 1972" livery with two Bell helmets in the same colours
- Sold with its special Eberhard GTAm watch
One of the most remarkable things about this stunning car is its incredibly low mileage: 76 km since new. "In my opinion, this was made to be a collector's car," said our collector. "I found myself unable to use it because I was too afraid of damaging it. This is the ultimate Alfa Romeo model: after this, the brand's history stops." This radical opinion is that of an enthusiast who sought to collect all the Alfa Romeo supercars of the modern era.
Along with its glorious "GTAm" name, this car's features are far outside the norm: 540 bhp, 300 km/ h, 0 to 100 km/ h in 3. 6 s, lightened bodywork, race interior fittings and production limited to 500 (GTA and GTAm).
With "Silverstone 1972" livery (in Etna red) that calls to mind the Giulia GTA's dominance at the European Touring Car Championship that season, it comes with many unique items: a photobook of the car's construction on the production line; correspondence between the French product manager and our collector; two numbered Bell helmets in the same Silverstone livery; an invitation to the reception organised in 2021 for the delivery of the vehicle to the Nevers dealership in the presence of two representatives of Alfa France, and a certificate of authenticity with plaque. Furthermore, the car is sold with the specially produced no. 85 Eberhard watch that features the number painted on the car and helmets, complete with the order form in the file.
The purchase invoice matches the exceptional nature of this machine, coming to a total of €221, 000 inc. VAT, including €11, 100 for the Silverstone livery and a €32, 000 surcharge. This car represents a rare opportunity and indisputably merits close attention from Alfa Romeo collectors and enthusiasts.
