TAKerry Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Pretty sure there was a guy running one of those at the Hershey hill climb about 5 or 6 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Sprint Zagato's have been a car to aspire to at least since the early 1980's when I first became aware of them. An Alfa guy near me had a remarkable pair. A TZ and a SZ. Both were standouts. I understand the TZ eventually sold for jaw dropping money when they shot skyward on Ferrari's coat tails. The SZ's are a lot cheaper than TZ's but still a bundle. I think the SZ moved on to a new owner as well at some time, but no idea of what it sold for. Sigh,,, another one crossed off the list. In the 1980's someone might have picked one up for a price that while not cheap, wouldn't have required selling the house. These days out of reach to all but the few.

mike6024 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 It weighs 1700 pounds so that is part of the appeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Here's another movie featuring an Alfa Romeo, sort of, besides The Graduate. Good movie. Edited January 10, 2022 by mike6024 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have played around with them some at the low poverty level of the marque. But I do follow them from a distance and there are some heavy hitters who will swoop in and not blink for the top end of the Alfa market. I had an Alfa devotee who has a couple high end Alfa’s from the 30s tell me that they look at Ferrari the way the British look at Americans.......... cocky, insufferable, young show offs. I want a duetto soft tail or an early 60’s Giulietta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, it doesn’t seem that long ago that you could buy a Montreal for 12-18K. I wish I had bought one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I passed on a 101 series spider last week. I was there to buy some non car related stuff that was also part of the estate. The Alfa grabbed my attention as soon as I saw it. Major project but complete and a realistic price. But too much on my plate already. 20 years ago I would have jumped on it, these days I have my hands full with the Staver and a few British cars. The Alfa sold a couple of days later.

mike6024 Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Reserve not met at $565,000. Some "experts" think a proper sales venue other than BAT would have seen it sell for closer to $1 million. No Sale! this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidden_hunter Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I'm dubious that they were really trying to sell it and more just trying to gauge potential interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
