Notes: Car has the original engine and a 4-speed transmission. It has been kept as stock-appearing as possible with a few race modifications while still maintaining
it as a street car. The car has 2 leather Ferrari bucket seats [they are valuable, worth
perhaps as much as $2,000 for the pair]. Archivo Storico Alfa Romeo verifies that the car was
manufactured 13 August 1960 and sold on 10 August 1961 to Thomson & Taylor of Bifleet, England. It is titled
as a 1962 - in those days apparently the cars were titled when sold not manufactured.
It has odd taillights that make the car unique. Some Alfa experts who have looked at it think Alfa probably ran out
of taillights that day and grafted these in place to keep production moving.
