Seller's comments about 1982' Alfa Romeo Alfetta Gtv6 Autodelta
We have on offer a rare 1982 Alfa Romeo GTV6 ex team Jolly Club by Autodelta. Ex squadra TOTIP. This is Chassis number: B600005299B and has a large Italian race history from 1982 into 1985. Raced in European Touringcar series in GROUP A. It was raced by Dr. Roberto De Gaetano from Milan who was a Jolly Club team driver and the team sponsor was TOTIP. The car was first property of Jolly Club team. Jolly Club bought about 5 of these special reinforced bare competition chassis from Autodelta and built these cars for European Touringcar races (GROUP A).
Jolly Club was a very successful and prominent race team in Italy. Their car were competing against the AUTODELTA factory team cars on all the Italian tracks.
The Alfetta GTV6`s were touringcar champion for 3 years in the class up to 2500cc. Autodelta reinforced and modified the Alfa Romeo chassis and supplied all necessary competition parts to the teams.
