Lot 247: 1972 Alfa Romeo Sports Zagato

The Junior Z was the last Alfa Romeo produced in collaboration with Zagato until the recent appearance of the new SZ. First shown at the Turin Automobile Show in 1969, it had excellent aerodynamic qualities thanks to its wedge profile, Kamm tail and full-width plexiglass front grille cover. The real attraction of the Junior Z was its small size, which gave it a nimble, quick feel. Owners praised its handling qualities, frequently describing them in terms of go-kart response, a result of the Z's firm springing and roll resistance.This uprated to 1600 cc engined Alfa is coming from a small collection of European sports cars is in very good condition as described by the vendor. Bearing German H - registration number plates the car has passed the TV according to 21c StVZO already, enabling to drive it with the reduced road costs in Germany. Finished in Alfa red with original black interior these cars are now rarely seen on the roads, and much sought after by Alfa enthusiasts. A very nice example which can only appreciate in the future and a competitive rally car in the right hands. Offered here at a very favourable estimate.
