Another TZ-1 that is a 'twin sister' to the real thing?

I had a look in the books to trace something of the history of chassisnumber 105.11.750011. It was produced in 1964 according to Maurizio Tabucchi. Marcello Minerbi says in his book 'Alfa Romeo SZ - TZ', published in 1985 by Mille Miglia Editrice, about 750011; quote 'Alfa Romeo racing test and ram car tuned for the 1964 Le mans and Targa Florio. Dual ignition head. Under restoration. Ex-owner Vegher. Present owner (1985); M. Sperry, U.S.A.' unquote.
And in the book 'Alfa Romeo TZ Zagato - Autodelta - Conrero' by Philippe Olczyk published in 2002 it says; quote'Colour Red, Type Race, Date 30 april 1964, '906059 MI' 1964, 24 hours of Le Mans - Bussinello/Deserti 1 cl. 1964, Hill Climb Chamrousse - Rolland. 1964: Hill Climb Mont Dore - Rolland 9 OA. 1965: Copa Citta di Enna - Rava. Targa Florio. Peru Race Car. Dual ignition head. Vegher. M. Sperry. 1998: Leonard. Restored USA. 2000: STPO. 2002: sold to Nick Mason. We have seen the car and it is modified' unquote.
Ciao, Olaf
