1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia 101 Spider
A rare Alfa Romeo Giulia 101 Spider Veloce, originally supplied new to Germany with the factory 1,600cc twin-Weber engine, converted into a racing specification car during the 1990s. The car accumulated an extensive and well-documented competition history across European circuits under Dr. R. Schimmer, including a class victory at the 2010 Coppa Intereuropa at Monza. Following acquisition in 2021, a thorough mechanical overhaul was carried out, after which the car achieved numerous class wins in UK and European historic events. It holds valid FIA Appendix K HTP papers through 2033.
