Still; anywhere near? Philip. Not a 330 GTC. Depending how you define "anywhere near" I could possibly confirm it while others won´t 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelG Posted March 16, 2022 Share #17182 Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) The rear wheel arch looks a bit more 60s Maserati to me (Frua-style flattish top) but the boot lid shape…hmmm. Edited March 16, 2022 by NigelG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted March 17, 2022 Share #17190 Posted March 17, 2022 It´s a 1965 works code "tipo 105.02" which was branded as "Giulia Sprint GT", so the first GT series which came out in 1963. 1576 ccm, 106 hp. I would give the point to Nigel as he was the first who mentioned Alfa and another (half) point to hektor who thought "GT" (but not a GTV post 68). hektor, is it ok, that Nigel proceeds? Here the car in it´s full glory. Surprise find in my old mountain hometown. I guess the owner was remodeling his or "a" holiday home. As the Nurburgring sticker "127" and the car´s rear indicates this car is partly used as a sportscar. Good home for an Alfa. Welcome, dear visitor!

Of course Nigel should proceed, although I still think the car is post 1968. The rear mudguard (fender) was changed in that year. The late GT Veloce was fitted with ATE brakes and 14" wheels. Do you have a photo of the front of the car? Edited March 17, 2022 by hektor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted March 17, 2022 Share #17192 Posted March 17, 2022 I had been thinking (once I got there from the bootlid) that from the “track” decals it might be a Giulia GT Alleggerita Stradale c1965 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly there was the step between the bonnet and the front element. This car has the early door handles and the long and angled front blinkers on the fender sides which post 1968 went into the front grille and only small round side blinkers remained on the fender sides.

wlaidlaw Posted March 17, 2022 Share #17196 Posted March 17, 2022 Due to their very high value, Autodelta Alfa GTA's have got a bit like AC Cobras, where the very few original Autodelta cars (10 of the alloy body twin plug 1600's from memory) have been swamped by Autodelta GTA lookalikes, retrospectives, conversions from the Alfa built homologation cars, tribute cars and out and out fakes. We were going to buy a supposed original alloy body Autodelta 1600GTA (at a suitably inflated price) a few years ago but on doing our due diligence on the provenance, we turned up that there was another Autodelta GTA around with the same chassis number, so we withdrew the offer. We had been through this pain a few years earlier on a 250LM, where after a major racing accident repair in Italy in the late 1960's, the enterprising repairer had kept the original parts which had been replaced on the repaired car to create a twin at some point during the 1980's. We had to go to court in Italy together with Ferrari Classice to get a cease and desist order against the dealer selling the 250LM with our chassis number and for Ferrari to recover the faked chassis plate. Once bitten, twice shy. Wilson 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not especially made for the GTA if I recall right but hektor is the Alfa expert. The shown car is a "user" so certain details might not be 100% original as they were optimized for weekend racing. My assumption. Haven´t talked to the owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted March 17, 2022 Share #17198 Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Now we see the boot lid script in full it’s obviously not a production GTA... but a very handsome GT nevertheless. I suspect Hektor has a more expert eye than me! As per Wilson’s post I suspect there are many “hybrid” or evocation versions on the road.

Rona!d Posted March 18, 2022 Share #17200 Posted March 18, 2022 hektor, I thought the door handles used on the GTA were from the former model Guiletta. Not sure about that. This Sprint might have got GTA doors if they were lighter than series doors or at least the GTA door handles which might operate better in case of a crash and someone from outside has to open the car. The 63-65 GT models I checked had the flat door handles we know from other type 105 models. I thought early cars used Guiletta style door handles and that switched to flat somewhere around 1966. Not the case it seems. Do you have any type 105 literature with very early cars? Which door handles were used there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
