1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA Stradale
- Colour
- Midnight Blue with white stripes
Alfa Romeo GTA chassis AR 613295 was built on 7 June 1965 as a road-going stradale, delivered in Hawthorne white to So.F.A.R France and first registered in January 1966. Retaining its original aluminium bodywork, engine, and transmission throughout a largely accident- and corrosion-free French life, the car was comprehensively restored by Tony Rotondi — former head of Conrero Alfa Romeo — around 2000 for rallying use. It has since competed in multiple Tour Auto events and received a thorough mechanical rebuild in 2018 ahead of the 2019 historic season.
