The French auction house Artcurial will be auctioning off exclusively Alfa Romeo vehicles in Paris on February 8, 2014, the evening after the big Rétromobile auction. Alfa fans can already rub their hands with glee, as both rare racing cars and everyday vehicles from the Milan-based company will be going under the hammer.
Artcurial is offering a total of 44 Alfas worth around 3 million euros (CHF 3.6 million) for sale, so on average each car will be worth around 66,000 euros or CHF 82,000.
Bargain hunters will be interested to know that 80% of the cars are being offered without a minimum sale price. This means that only the nine ultra-rare and expensive classics may not be sold.
The highlight Alfa Romeo Giula TZ
Chassis AR750042 was delivered in France in March 1965 and was used exclusively in normal road traffic. It was repainted yellow when new and completely restored a few years ago. The history has been documented since day one and the condition of the car is described as very good. This should be the case, however, as the estimated price is between 750,000 and 1 million euros.
Five times GTAs
Five GTA and GTAM models are going under the hammer in Paris. Perhaps the most interesting car is the Giulia Sprint GTA Coupé from 1965 with chassis number AR 613311, which was delivered in 1965 and has been in the same ownership since 1975. The car presents itself in unrestored and original condition and is expected to cost between 90,000 and 120,000 euros.
The Alfa Romeo 1750 GTAm from 1970 with chassis number AR 1530938, continuous history including the Autodelta Libretto, should be considerably more. The car raced as an Autodelta works car at Zandvoort, Silverstone and Paul Ricard, among others. Carlo Facetti, De Adamich and Teodoro Zeccoli, among others, are said to have been behind the wheel. This GTAm was valued at between 280,000 and 320,000 euros.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA 1300 Junior from 1968 with chassis number AR 775808, which is in very good condition as a customer racing car and is expected to fetch between 150,000 and 170,000 euros, is also listed in the six-figure range.
Two further GTA/GTAm cars complete the group, complemented by another extremely rare Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint Zagato from 1965 with chassis number AR 856030, which was a "barn find" and underwent a complete restoration in which, according to Artcurial, nothing was left to chance. Euro 180,000 to 220,000 should therefore be a reasonable price for this rare car, even if its history is not entirely complete.
Popular classic cars
Five Giulia saloons will be on show in Paris, plus five Giulietta four-door models and a whole range of other family cars, including an estate version of the Giulia in need of restoration.
Of course, the Duetto Spider (with fuel injection, in original condition) and the Giulietta Spider version are not missing, nor are we Giulietta Sprint versions.
And even those interested in new Alfa classics will find what they are looking for in Paris.
Rare everyday classics
The offer also includes an Alfasud and an Arna (co-production with Nissan) as well as an Alfa Romeo Dauphine, a licensed version of the Renault Dauphine.
Further information on the auction and the individual cars can be found on the Artcurial website.
