GANDINI STYLE

THE MODEL

• Launched at the 1967 International and Universal Exposition, ‘Expo’, in Montreal, Canada.
• Bertone designed fastback bodywork by the legendary Marcello Gandini.
• 2.6L V8 producing just shy of 200bhp – an enlarged but ‘detuned’ version of the V8 developed by Alfa Romeo for the Tipo 33 Sports Racing Prototypes.
• Dry-sump lubrication, cross-plane crank, and SPICA fuel injection.
• ZF 5-Speed Manual Gearbox with Limited Slip Differential.
• Independent Front Suspension via Double Wishbones, Coils Springs and Dampers, with a Live Axle at the Rear.
• Produced between 1970-1977, with just under 4,000 cars built.

This Car

• Delivered new in Italy on the 1st February 1973, this car’s past history is sadly not present.
• The current London owner brought the car over to the UK in April 2015, with a vision to restore it into a mechanically sorted daily driver.
• Since being in the UK, the mechanical history file shows extensive restoration to all mechanical components of the car.
• The lion’s share of the work has been completed by DTR European Sports Cars, specialists in classic Italian sports cars.
• Some of the works include:
  • A full engine rebuild;
  • New fuel pump & relevant pipework;
  • Gearbox refurb; and
  • Lots more…
• Since it’s been under our care, the Alfa has benefitted from a new stainless-steel exhaust system and light tuning, just to make sure it’s ready for the next owner.
• All in all, the invoices of works carried out under the current ownership amount to almost £36,000.
