1993 | Alfa Romeo SZ

As documented by the car’s passport (VIN: ZAR16200003001000), its first owner was the Alfa Romeo factory (Fiat Auto S.p.A.),
who built this car for a VIP to participate in the SZ Trophy support race before the Monaco GP 1993. Prior to and following this race weekend, the SZ Trophy would race as part of the 1993 Italian Supercar GT races.

The car’s second owner was Andrea de Adamich, who used it for more than ten years as his daily driver between his house and his racetrack as well as for hot laps with friends and VIPs. Important: this chassis is not one of the six cars used in his "Guida Sicura" racing school - these weren’t original Trofeos but converted road cars.

Through a misunderstanding, the Zagato was sold as part of a larger collection of race and sports cars, and in 2013 it ended up in the hands of a Dutch gentleman racer and Zagato collector, who road-registered it in Germany.

Over a thirty-year period, the car did less than 22,000 kilometers, split between the public road and circuits (Monaco, Spa, Varano, Hockenheim, Mugello, Red Bull Ring, Salzburgring, …).

Under the current ownership, the SZ has always been meticulously maintained by Formula GT, who can confirm this car hasn’t missed a beat and that everything is still original. The car's underfloor has recently enjoyed a dry-ice treatment and polish and literally looks like a factory-fresh car underneath.

The SZ was track-tested by Walter Röhrl (Spielberg), Karl Wendlinger (Mugello) and Joachim Winkelhock (Hockenheim), who were all equally impressed with the handling. The performance is very modest by today's standards, but the low weight, insane stiffness, and 50-50 weight distribution means that on many tracks it can compete with much more modern monsters.

This Zagato not only has matching numbers, but still wears the original badging and trim, and both the exterior and interior are cosmetically mint, with nice patina, as well as some stone chips and minor scratches.

While the ideal buyer would preserve and celebrate the originality and heritage of the car at events between Goodwood, Villa d'Este and Pebble Beach, it’s worth noting that since October 2024, this SZ is officially eligible for FIA historic motorsport, joining the grid alongside Ferrari F40, Jaguar XJ 220, 348 Competizione et al!
(FIA homologation form no. 297 Group B).

All in all, a unique chance to acquire an immaculate Alfa Zagato factory race car with a peerless pedigree. Less than 20 Trofeos were ever built, and the handful of race SZs that are still around are rebuilt, have had huge repairs - and no history.
