FIA Homologation Papers for Alfa Models

I went to the Alfa Racing Group at Yahoo and retrieved the document numbers for some of the Alfa's that I find interesting, most of them ones were that raced heavily. This list represents probably less than 20% of all the Alfa's that have been homologated over the years. To see the complete list (It is the COMPLETE list of FIA homologation papers that includes ALL makes and models), go to Yahoogroups.com. In the search box, type in Alfa racing. That will take you to the site. Then you can join if you want. I think you may have to be a member to get to the files section that has the FIA file.

Document Number and Model
5440..... 1972 2000 GT Veloce
5497..... 1973 Alfetta (1779cc)
1565..... 1969 1750 GT Veloce
1576..... 1969 1750 GT Am
593..... GTA 1300 Junior
625..... GTA Sprint
199..... Giulia Sprint GTA
1267.... 1964 Giulia TI Super
1395.... Giulia Sprint GTA

A couple of notes:
1) The model name on the homlogation papers may be different from what you think is correct. Regardless, that is the way the Alfa Romeo named it when they submitted the homologation form to the FIA. As you can see, the GTA had a slightly different name from time to time. Alfa did that.

2) Some models have several different FIA homolgation papers. The Alfetta has probably 20 different homologation papers. I only pulled out one sample on the Alfetta to put on the above list. So if you want to know ALL of the homologated equipment for a particular model, you will need to go to the complete list and find ALL of the homologation papers that Alfa filed for it. I think I found all of the GTA, GTA Jr, and GTAm document numbers. That being said, I am a little surprised that there was only one homologation form filed for the GTA Jr. I would expect to see one filed at the time it was first released, and then at least one later on. I think the narrow angle head, slide throttle injection, and 13" Campy's were used on the GTA Jr after it had been raced for some time. That is the reason you will see different homologation papers for some models. As newer equipment was developed, it had to be homologated. I can tell from looking at the different FIA papers that sometimes Alfa would just take on old homologation paper and run it back through with the new piece of equipment added to it. Then other times, they would do a comletely new filing on the car, even giving it a different name. That is one of the reasons you will see slightly different names on FIA documents for the same car.

3) If you want to obtain copies of homologation documents from the FIA, I have detailed one approach under the 105-115 Coupe section of this BB.
