Between 1963 and 1967, the collaboration between Alfa Romeo, Auto Delta and Zagato produced a good 120 examples of the Giulia TZ in two series (TZ1, TZ2). They were almost uncompromising racing cars and were responsible for many class and overall victories. They were characterized by their low weight and exceptionally streamlined bodywork. This report traces the history of the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ, portrays an original vehicle in detail and shows many archive photos.
This is a story you don't hear every day! Romeo Gross is a photographer and his great love is for the Alfa Romeo brand, which is hardly surprising given his first name. He was particularly taken with the iconic TZ car. And he set himself an unusual task: to photograph all parts of the legendary Alfa Romeo Giulia Tubolare Zagato. The result is a complete work of detailed photographs that together can explain part of the fascination that this car exudes.
The Giulietta from Alfa Romeo was a fine lady. Especially as a spider, it impressed above all with its beautiful design, as one was accustomed to from the Milanese. Over time, however, there was criticism of its performance. It was time to grow up and so the Giulietta became a Giulia. In 1963, the open Giulia with 1600 engine was extensively tested, this report reproduces the original wording and shows the car in historical pictures.
The elegant coupé that Bertone presented in Turin in 1957 only had an engine capacity of 1.3 liters, but it was capable of a top speed of over 200 km/h. Impressive. A racing career was on the cards, but things turned out differently. With almost 2800 units produced, the Granturismo coupé was certainly a commercial success and it is still popular today and much admired for its unusual design. This report portrays a 1.6-liter Giulia from 1964 and shows it in many current and historical pictures, which also impressively illustrate its predecessors.
In the fall of 1964, coachbuilder Bertone presented the Alfa Romeo Canguro, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, to the public at the Paris Motor Show. It was an ultra-flat Gran Turismo sports car that was intended for series production, but never actually went into production. Alas! This report tells the story of the elegant and streamlined Giulia-TZ derivative, illustrated with many historical pictures.
Over 25 years have passed between the Alfa Romeo Giulia Tubolare Zagato and the Alfa Romeo SZ (ES 30). Although both come from the same manufacturer and the same coachbuilder, they are completely different despite all the similarities. A comparison drive should show where the biggest differences come from ...
In the early sixties, the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ was one of the cars that had to be beaten in its class. This changed when the competition, e.g. Porsche 904, Ferrari Dino 166 with mid-engine and lightweight construction, launched a counter-attack. Autodelta followed suit and improved the TZ with more power and a significantly flatter plastic body; the TZ 2 was born. This report describes the history of the Alfa Romeo TZ 2 and shows it in current and historical pictures.
The Giulia GTC, the open-top version of the Giulia Sprint GT, is a rarity that even some Alfa fans are hardly aware of. It was only built for a good two years (1964-1966) in around 1,000 units, and only a few of the stunning four-seater convertibles have survived to this day. This report describes the history of the GTC and shows an example in detail, supplemented with archive material and a sound sample.
The Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce and its relatives Giulia Sprint GT to 2000 GTV are among the most popular classic coupés ever. Between 1963 and 1977, around 225,000 left the Alfa Romeo production facilities. The fast GTA versions caused a sensation on the racetracks for years. This report is mainly dedicated to the version presented in 1967 with the 1.8-liter twin-camshaft engine, but the entire history is also briefly described. The report is supplemented by almost 100 pictures - contemporary and historical - as well as sales brochures, sound samples and technical data.
Mario Andretti is an Italian-American, just like the rare Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale by Zagato. Although the American ten-cylinder engine in the Italian tailor-made suit is not a one-off, only nine of them were built. Now one of them is going under the hammer at an RM/Sotheby's auction...
