For $30,000 yes. For 75,000 Euros hell no!I checked Coys for their current auctions and found the car listed for the auction in Padova yesterday.
Here is the link:
Coys
They call it: "1968 ATL 2000 Sports Coupe"
Best regards
Ciao Carlo![]()
Actually Olczyk didn't contradict himself. He was quoting what Luzzago stated.The car in question has been discussed in this thread when it was for sale at auction at Luzzago last year. Olcyk clearly spelled out that the car was built in about 2003 but then contradicted himself by saying that it was a '50s project brought to end in the '70s. Be that as it may, I'd say the conclusion is that it's not an original Alfa -- but, in my opinion, a very nice and tastefully created Bitsa.
BTW: The side mirrors are a hint of the car's modern provenance.
What did the car fetch? Coys haven't posted the results yet, and when I phoned them the guy said he knew it had sold but he didn't have the price.
Unlike Stu I'd pay well over $30000 for that car. History isn't everything!
I just love good bitzas/specials. I like building them and I like driving them.What would you pay? Personally, I have no interest in "bitzas". I rather spend $30,000 for a perfect Giulia Super...
I venture to state my opinion that a bitsa is a car that is not original but has been put together, at some point when the originals were no longer made, from bits and pieces of several cars. On the other hand, "specials" like the Lurani CABI-Cattaneo Alfa seems to be made from parts during the time original cars were produced.If they're not bitzas, why aren't they bitzas?
Cars that were modified "in period" they are not bitsas. Cars done 40-50 years later, and often mis-represented as period cars, are at best bitzas, and in many cases, should just be called replicars, like the breadvan built on an Iso base.I just love good bitzas/specials.

I'd have to see the car in the flesh before I could put my price on it. It may of course be badly built and conceived.
As a matter of curiosity would you call the Ferrari Breadvan a bitza, or the Nembo Spider, the Thinwall Special, or the Lurani CABI-Cattaneo Alfa etc etc?
If they're bitzas I take it they're of no interest to you.
If they're not bitzas, why aren't they bitzas?
All this of course intended in very friendly spirit . There's room for many viewpoints.....
I agree.Cars that were modified "in period" they are not bitsas. Cars done 40-50 years later, and often mis-represented as period cars, are at best bitzas, and in many cases, should just be called replicars, like the breadvan built on an Iso base.
