1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider

A 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider (Type 101.23, chassis AR101.23/373985), one of the earliest examples produced at the transition from 1290cc Giulietta to 1570cc Giulia specification. Converted from a sound road car into a competitive race car in the mid-1980s by Connecticut-based Alfa specialist Keith Goring, the car built a lengthy campaign record on the US East Coast and became widely recognised by its race number 92. A thorough bare-metal restoration around 2009–2010 refreshed the car in Blue Medio livery, and it subsequently competed in Northern California vintage events and the prestigious Monterey Reunion in 2012.
