Hello my name is Roy and I'm reading your BB for some years now.
I have never posted before because I could find all I was looking for on BB in the Netherlands. I owened several Alfa's: 33 1.3 1990, 164 TS 1990, Spider (916) 1995, 75 Imola (1992).
In my collection nowadays are a: 164 3.0 V6 24V; GTV (916); SZ 1991.
Now the TZ question and why I finally place a thread.
During the years I have read your BB I noticed that there is a lott of information an knowledge of the Alfa Romeo TZ.
A friend of mine is looking for one now and did find a TZ-1 in the Netherlands.
You can see it at:

Problem is (like always) it this the real deal?
Next week I can place some chassis and engine numbers. Is ther anything else we should look for?
Giulia TZ 1 1965
We are very pleased to offer Alfa Romeo Giulia Tubolare Zagato chassis number 75. The TZ was conceived as a replacement for the Giulietta Sprint Zagato, and first developed as a roadster then as a coupe, it was finally presented in 1963 after a more than 3 year development. It consisted of a tubular chassis carrying very nice and light Zagato alloy bodywork. Engine at first was a 1.6 litre 4 cylinder twin cam as to be used in the Giulia Berlina with 112 bhp. The result was a very light and agile car with a good power to weight ratio. After its first appearance in competition the TZ was immediately capable of winning its class in many important races and rallies as the 1000 km at the Nurnburgring, the 24 hours of Le Mans, Sebring, the Coupe des Alpes and the Tour de Corse. In 1965 a further development was the fitting of the newly developed twin plug racing engines also used in the 1600 GTA. Power could go to 170 bhp at full race tune, not bad with 660 kg! The car we offer is a car sold new to France and was used in rallies in 1965 among others in the Coupe des Alpes. After several French owners the car was stored from 1979 until found in 2002. The bodywork is nice and old with scars from its competition career. It carries a fibreglass engine bonnet. It has the twin plug head fitted, Weber 45 carburettors, adjustable suspension, magnesium parts, the lightweight seats, doors and plexiglass windows, magnesium wheels, dunlop brakes etc. The interior is nice and old with all instruments fitted. After its discovery, which was described in Classic and Sportscar in the lost and found section, the car was mechanically fettled by a well known German Alfa specialist so it could perform on the road and in rallies. The bodywork was left as it was, old and with scars. It has since then participated in several events as the Vernasca Hill Climb in Italy. The car comes with EC road registration and FIA paperwork, old papers, several period pictures and is a rare opportunity to buy an unrestored TZ. Inspection recommended!
Thanks in advance,
Roy
