393035roadItaly

Engine: 1.57L DOHC inline-four, twin-cam
Colour: Red over black leather

The Alfa Romeo Gran Sport Quattroruote is a limited-edition neoclassic produced between 1965 and 1967, with coachwork hand-built by Zagato on a purpose-built Alfa Romeo chassis. Its retro styling was inspired by the 6C 1750 Gran Sport Spider, and the body consists of aluminium panels over a tubular frame. Sold through the regular Alfa dealer network in Normale and Extra forms, only 93 examples were made across three years. This Rosso-over-Nero example passed through several California owners and was subsequently restored by a noted Alfa specialist.
