To celebrate “50 years of Autodelta”, the 1750 GT Am represents the latest evolution of the Bertone coupé prepared by Autodelta for the European Touring Car Challenge. This model is equipped with the twin cam in-line 4 engine from the US market version, with “Spica” indirect injection. For this reason the “Am” stands for “America”. The best race performer with “GT Am” was Toine Hezemans, the “flying Dutch”.
GTA 1300 Junior (1971)
The Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior incorporates some of the most advanced engineering of the late 1960s. Evolved from the original 1.6-ltire GTA of 1965 and using technologies such as direct injection and dual ignition, Autodelta (Alfa Romeo’s racing division) was able to squeeze 170hp from its 1.3-litre, normally aspirated, twin-camshaft engine. The GTA went on to claim the European Touring Car Championship for Alfa Romeo in 1971 and 1972, while the 1300 Junior which retained the aluminium body, with the later addition of flared wheel arches, was also successfully raced particularly in the hands of Toine Hezemans, “The Flying Dutchman”, who will be reunited with it at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Top speed:………219 mph (350 kmph)
A new flat-12 engine and a tubular frame with the driver’s seat well forward were the main technical specifications that differentiated the “TT 12” from the previous V8 “33”s. With its mechanical philosophy – power and performance – it could be considered a Formula 1 car with covered wheels. The “33 TT 12” was the winner of the 1975 Manufacturers’ World Championship, driven by several top drivers: Merzario (the best performer), Andretti, Bell, Laffite, Mass, Pescarolo, Brambilla, Ickx, Facetti, Stommelen, Scheckter. Celebrating “50 years of Autodelta”, the “33 TT 12” World Title represents the pinnacle of the Autodelta wins in 1970s motorsports.
