Description
This Alfa Romeo SZ embodies everything true connoisseurs get excited about.
That is why this particular example — number 843 — is an SZ you simply do not want to miss. Delivered new in Switzerland, maintained with the kind of precision the country is known for, and preserved in a condition that is nothing short of exceptional. Only 1, 036 units were ever built, and this car stands firmly among the finest surviving examples. Its condition, provenance, and documentation form a rare and harmonious whole.
The Alfa Romeo SZ, internally designated ES-30, was the product of a remarkable collaboration between Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, Centro Stile Fiat, and the craftsmen at Zagato. Revealed at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show, it immediately drew attention for its unconventional lines and uncompromising stance. Robert Opron, who laid down the initial design sketches, created a shape that remains one of the most distinctive and instantly recognizable silhouettes in the sports-car world. Early CAD development, thermoplastic body panels, and a bold, geometric design made the SZ unlike anything else of its era — or any other.
What makes this example especially compelling is its complete originality. Finished in Rosso Alfa with a Grigio roof and paired with a beige interior, this SZ wears the exact specification intended by its creators. Nothing has been altered, nothing has been worn down; it presents as a car that has remained absolutely faithful to its roots, both mechanically and visually. It comes from the collection of a true enthusiast — someone who knew precisely what he owned — and that care and respect can be felt in every single detail.
The SZ’s technical character is celebrated for its purity. The 3. 0-liter Busso V6 produces 210 hp and delivers the unmistakable soundtrack only a classic Alfa V6 can produce. The chassis, derived from the Alfa 75 IMSA racer and refined by Giorgio Pianta, features Koni dampers, wide Pirelli tires, and a suspension setup free of electronic assists. The result is a driving experience that is direct, mechanical, communicative — exactly what a sports car should be.
All original documentation is included: manuals, folders, supplementary books, and more. A complete and authentic package — something rarely encountered with an SZ, and invaluable for long-term desirability.
