Incredible! My brother and I own AR 752 557.....our GTA's were on the assembly line together! Our car was built on July 11, 2005 and sold new to Alfa Romeo Great Britain on July 22, 1965.

and I an rebuiding the engine now), a 1600cc narrow angle GTA F2 engine (I still have this engine and it also ran in a Brabham copy known as the Mildren 1.6), a 1900cc narrow angle turbo engine, and a 2l
tipo 33 engine (it was this engine that ran in a Brabham open wheeler known as the Yellow Submarine. All these special things were with the MILDREN RACING TEAM and Alec Mildren had a very special relationship with the factory. He also had the protoptype TZ2 the only car made in aluminium and now in the USA.
Takis, the shot you posted was taken same day I think and it is my GTA being followed by the Cooper S of Brian Foley (who later bought the GTA.... if you can't beat 'em....).
I will provide some current shots soon.
