period.

torque over the original 1300 cc unit. In addition. rebuilt twin
Dell'Orto carburettors. with angled ram pipes. supply the fuel. A

four new callipers. Eibach springs and Koni Sport. adjustable shock
absorbers on all four corners provide the handling dynamics. The
coachwork has also been modified to give the GTA silhouette with
the addition of the wide body GTA wings and the paint is finished
in the classic Alfa Romeo Rosso. Further details add to the spirit namely the addition of the GTA replica grill and gold. Alfaholics
