Andrew,

If you look at Fusi's "All Cars dal 1910" under 1966 production figures in the back you will see listed well below the GTA LHD figures a figure of 150(I think) RHD GTAs for 1966. The 50 RHD for 1965 are listed for 1965 right below the LHD GTA figure and is the figure most often mistakingly quoted. The 66 figures, given that they did not show up directly below the LHD figure were overlooked by many researchers and authors. "Allegeritta" lists many RHD S/N well above 50.

How do you define an Autodelta GTA. Some would hold that it only applies to those GTAs Prepped and sponsored by A/D/Alfa Romeo. Others, my self included, count all A/D prepped GTAs.

So how many A/D RHD GTAs were there/are there. I think there were 6- 1965s sent to "Alfa Romeo Inc., Newark", in Newark New Jersey, USA in 1966 for their special program selling to privateers for racing in the Trans Am series and tying the sale to a minimum number of starts in the T/.A. The price was good as was the prize money from Alfa Inc.

I think 2 more came in for the 1967 T/A and were run in the T/A By Kwech and ??. (# and #6).

So that leaves the rest of the world to report.

Of the first 6, I personally know the whereabouts of 4 and one is believed destoyed and one other possibility, with S/N removed.

BTW, the S/N of my RHD GTA is 752507. And I have a copy of the A/D build sheet for it which is 2 parts, one for chassis and one for Engine including Dyno test.

It ran the first T/A at Serbring in 1966 and the Last T/A for these cars at Riverside in 1972 and many in between. It is best known wearing #25 and in Bobcor yellow livery for 1972.
