1965 Alfa Romeo GTA Corsa
- Colour
- White with yellow noseband
Alfa Romeo GTA chassis AR752675 was built on 8 September 1965 and delivered in right-hand-drive configuration to the celebrated Italian privateer tuning house Autotecnica Conrero, which campaigned it extensively in Conrero/Jolly Club colours. After passing through two German racing drivers in the late 1960s, the car spent decades in Germany before a comprehensive restoration to original condition in the mid-1990s. It retains numerous desirable original components including magnesium drivetrain parts, a correct GTA gearbox, Autodelta rear axle, first-series Campagnolo wheels, and the original Conrero dashboard plate.
