Description
Biarritz Sports & Classic Cars (BSCC) is pleased to present this Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV6 Group A.
Originally prepared in Group A by Dany Snobeck Racing Services, this GTV6 benefited from factory evolutions signed Autodelta, notably a dogbox transmission, a limited-slip differential, large torsion bars, aluminium suspension arms, factory front and rear calipers, as well as a Luigi engine of around 225 horsepower with a unique sound..
The racing record of this exemplar is remarkable. In 1984, it won Group A at the Lyon-Charbonnières Rally, the Mont-Blanc Rally and the Tour de France Automobile. It also finished second in Group A at the Tour de Corse, a round of the World Rally Championship. The following year, in 1985, it confirmed its potential with a second place in Group A at the Rallye International des Garrigues and then at the Tour de Corse.
At the end of the 1985 season, the car ceased all competition activity. Kept strictly in its original state since then, it is today presented as it was during its last race, with its roll cage, bucket seats and even the marks left by the special stages. It has never been structurally modified, only carefully maintained to remain in perfect working order.
This exemplar has not undergone any modifications since its racing stop in 1985; everything is original—the roll cages, the bucket seats and even the gravel marks on the wing. It has stayed protected from corrosion. It is in perfect running condition and its V6 performs as well as it did in its day.
A recommissioning has been carried out:
Engine overhaul, fuel-injection service, replacement of the fuel tank and pump, brake and clutch master cylinder.
At the wheel, once the starting procedure is observed, the engine roars and the car shakes. It’s a rally car, so don’t expect any comfort… On first wheels turns the sensations match the car, it’s brutal and very high-performing…
This exemplar carries a registration in the name of Bertrand Balas and a set of documents, including period photos, press articles and videos. It is accompanied by a stock of spare parts.
Once its PTH is renewed, it will be eligible to compete in VHC rally events in GR A VHC J category. It is also eligible for the Tour Auto.
A piece of history not to be entrusted to everyone.
