I'm not sure - never seen one up close but I suspect that sump might have been for the Supercharged GTam engine.
That's a hydraulic pump at the front and it could have been used to drive the twin Superchargers. Nice find!

Does anyone know if any 1600GTA-SA car have survived?? i know only around 10 were produced for gp.5 racing.

Calling Jim 'expert' K......

How about making a replica GTA-SA on a 1600-2000cc motor with eaton m46 or m60 charger - would be amazing if done tastefully.

You can do a lot better than build a replica Andrew!! How about BUYING not one, but two GTA-SA engines, complete, in excellent shape (rebuilt maybe??).
Check out: http://www.angelfire.com/pa/alfaromeo/argta.html
The guy's name is Paolo Lava and he sells some AR stuff dreams are made of. Look at them both side by side and droooool!!
(Scroll down in the site and click 'more AR pictures')
Regards,
Jim K.

Very Very nice..... They've been for sale for a long time i think????

Would be amazing though!!!!!!

So come on guy's is there any information that one original car exists!!!!! or have they all been destroyed/broken/LOST!!!!!!!

How much would an original be WORTH....... PLENTY i bet.

Jim, come on, your views on a modern GTA-SA, with a nice big eaton!! 1600 motor, or 2000?? nord or twinspark?

Hi eveyone

I have the body but am still toying thinking of the long road ahead on rebuilding it. If anyone wants a set of those tipo wheels I have one set spare This car was one of the 40 am,s built by autodelta It raced in singapore gp driven by albert poon, it was raced in penang kl and possibly macau.. The car was crashed by a standby driver and the parts were put on the gta body they had the car was buiried and thats the story. I will rebuild the body but not easy this is a long term project. I am trying to find a radiator and oilcooler I have them but they were totally crumpled in the frontender the car had any help on those would be helpfull

Hi again Andrew,
Since a picture is worth 1000 words, have a look at these, its all been done before!: http://www.alfacybersite.com/ACSSuperchargedGTV.html

Its all a matter of $$$$ and then only a phone call away! Right now, I can only afford the phone call (if I borrow a couple of $, heh!).

i believe the gta in the middle is the one that was raced by albert poon in the 70's. albert is one of asia's top drivers from hongkong. he started with go carts and then drove alfas on circuit tracks afterwards.
