Chassis no. AR1900C10251. Silver with metallic gray roof over red leather. Later 1975/115hp engine with dual Weber carburetors and a 5-speed, gearbox, chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Michelin X tires, Marchal headlights and fog lights.

Evaluation: Even panel gaps and flush fits. Good paint that looks newer than the somewhat worn upholstery and much newer than the dry and road dirty chassis. Rusty wheel hubs. Presentable and eligible for many desirable events but a driver-quality Alfa.

Bottom Line: The bigger engine contributes to driving enjoyment, the purpose of this Alfa’s preparation, but detracts from its collector value, a bidders’ judgment that is reflected in this modest but appropriate result.
