Supplied running a twin-cam Alfa Romeo engine, this amazing transporter should surely be the mode of choice to accompany any historic race car of Italian descent. Fully restored and finished in faultless white paintwork, with an Italian Tricolore decal, this is a show-quality vehicle that would grace any historic meet, Goodwood, Salon Privé and of course the Silverstone Festival would welcome this thoroughbred. A matching numbers example, it is based upon the Autocarro models of Alfa Romeo trucks, the A12 signifying the 1,200kg payload. It runs a de-tuned 1,300cc twin-cam engine, later replaced by a much less-popular diesel powertrain in the 1970s. Whilst there were believed to be over 17,000 Alfa Romeo Fugone (vans) and Autotutto (trucks) built during a 30-year build history, we are still to see another of these, and would be surprised to see one in anything like this condition. A wonderful cab with superb brown vinyl interior can only be described as show-worthy. The rear of the truck is constructed in black mesh steel. It has recently been fitted with a new electric winch, has chocks and straps and sits on steel wheels with stainless hubcaps. Purported to be good for around 70mph in-period. We thoroughly recommend this really special and rare little Alfa Truck, perfect for any collector or historic racer with an affection for all things Italian. Bellissima! Perhaps the very best Alfa Romeo A12 Transporter in Europe, and almost certainly the only UK-registered one of its type. More Details Lot 309 Bid On Lot 309
