1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT

Described as a well-known racer and race organiser who held the car as a complete rust-free shell with accompanying component parts prior to selling it to the current vendor.

Purchased the shell and parts from Julius Thurgood with the intent of constructing a competition car for his wife to race; the project was eventually built to HRDC and HSCC Road Sports specification rather than full FIA/HTP Period G. The vendor and his wife together have more than 25 years of racing experience and are selling to pursue other interests.

The completed car made a single shake-down outing at Thruxton circuit, reportedly performing very well, ahead of its intended competition debut.

Bare shell prepared for competition by Steve Lancaster, including seam-welding and structural reinforcement in critical areas; a Custom Cages rollcage was fitted and exterior paintwork in GTA-style livery was applied by Chris Peart. Bodywork is predominantly steel with an aluminium bootlid; finished weight is approximately 802.5 kg.

Paintwork subcontracted to Chris Peart; Custom Cages supplied and installed the rollcage as part of the shell build.

A 2,000cc race-specification engine was fully rebuilt and installed, replacing the original 1,600cc unit. Output is documented at 192.4 bhp at 7,350 rpm, with bespoke internal components, 48 DCOE carburettors, a 123 USB ignition system, and a stainless steel side-exit exhaust fabricated by Zak Precision.

Rebuild carried out by Dave Ashford of Brunswick Motorsport; internal components described as proprietary to Ashford's specification.

Comprehensive mechanical build encompassing a rebuilt 5-speed gearbox with Tilton clutch; an Alfaholics race limited-slip differential with 5.3 crown wheel and pinion, rifle-drilled 25-spline half-shafts, and a race-balanced full-length propshaft; Alfaholics braced master cylinders front and rear with ATEC brake lines and Mintex F6 pads; Nitron dampers with spring rates and front anti-roll bar set up by Cornering Force; bespoke wiring loom; foam-filled alloy fuel tank with twin Facet pumps.

Suspension geometry and spring specification carried out by Cornering Force; differential supplied by Alfaholics. Multiple specialist suppliers involved in the overall build.
