The Alfa was converted to full-race specification in the 2000s and successfully circuit raced in South Africa, winning the Western Cape Classic Car class in 2013 and 2014. The specification included, balanced 2-litre Nord engine with fast-road cams (Group One cam lift), custom exhaust system, upgraded oil cooler, bespoke aluminium radiator, Watts linkage rose- jointed rear suspension, camber adjustable front suspension, bespoke front anti-roll bar with rose-jointed drop links, 4-pot performance front brakes, 4.3 LSD differential, lightweight doors and boot lid and a stripped interior with a six-point roll cage. Proven as an extremely competitive car and running under a FIA Historic Passport which has since expired. Imported to the UK in 2017, the Alfa racer has since been subject to a rolling restoration including numerous new parts from Classic Alfa and Alfaholics with invoices in the history file. Work carried out included an overhaul of the suspension components and bodyshell repairs where required. New items fitted include; genuine Weber twin-40DCOEs, a pair of red Cobra Monaco Pro bucket seats (in date), electronic ignition unit and plug leads, headlamps, tail lamps, sidelights, lightweight bonnet, GTA alloy wheels with Michelin tyres, clutch master cylinder, Bosch blue coil, adjustable front top-arms, yellow Koni dampers all round, Lemforder ball-joints and a new windscreen and seals. The car shows as Historic status on its V5C and is therefore MOT and Road Tax exempt. The private registration number will not form part of the sale with a new V5C to follow. In December 2022, the Alfa benefitted from significant investment with a renowned specialist who carried out a full health check including setting up the Weber carbs, engine timing and adjusting the suspension to ‘fast road’ specification. Finally, so that the little race car presented as well as it performs, the workshop carried out a full professional respray in period-correct Alfa Rosso. In summary, this is a handsome, high-performance classic Alfa Romeo that could be driven to Sunday breakfast runs or with some safety equipment updates could once again be a competitive race car. Goodwood beckons either way? Fabulous, fresh, classic Alfa Romeo 105 Coupé. Once a competitive race car, now presented in fast-road specification and absolutely on-the-button.
