Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ1

Information

1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ Prototipo Berlinetta
In response to Alfa Romeo's request for a TZ successor, Autodelta's co-founder Lodovico Chizzola built this prototype, only for Alfa Romeo to opt for its own design - the TZ2 - so the car remained a one-off.
Known in the Chizzola family as the 'TZ1½'
The un-numbered chassis is a one-of-a-kind tubular design - a modified Ferrari F2 frame according to the late Lodovico Chizzola. Lodovico Chizzola's sister recalled one memorable drive with her brother over the standard test route along which he drove all TZs prior to delivery. Comprising 80 kilometres of twisty mountain roads, it typically takes 1½ hours but was covered in this car in just 40 minutes.
