Description
THIS CAR
- A wonderful example of Alfa Romeo’s famous ‘Boat Tail’, ‘Duetto’, or ‘Osso di seppia’.
- 1 of 601 original RHD examples, delivered new to Australia in March 1969.
- Acquired by the current owner in 2012 (just the third owner from new!), and soon imported into the UK.
- Finished in its original specification of Rosso Farina over Black Leather, the car was subject to a full ‘nut-and-bolt’ restoration by RetroMarques between 2014-2018.
- The engine was replaced with a non-matching numbers but period correct 1750cc block (late 1968 serial number) sourced from Classic Alfa.
- Having covered fewer than 750kms since the restoration, the car presents today in essentially ‘as new’ condition.
WHAT WE THINK
- What is there to say really – this Duetto is about as good as it gets.
- The engine fires into life almost on the first turn of the starter motor, and settles straight into a gorgeous twin-cam idle.
- We strongly urge anyone interested to book in a viewing and a test drive, because all you need is 30 seconds behind the wheel of this car to realise just how well sorted it is.
