1964 Alfa Romeo TZ1 Coupe

This Zagato-bodied vehicle, chassis n. 10511.750067, is Ruby red with a black interior. From the available records, it appears that this car was delivered originally to the late Gianni Lurani, the well-known Italian motorsports journalist and gentleman driver. In the early 1980s, it was owned by Sandro Munari, who was a world-class rally driver and touring car racer. In 1984, the car was owned by Giuseppe Lucchini, the founder of the Dallara F1 team and creator of the Historic Mille Miglia, who used this car to win the FISA Historic GT Championship that year.

Peter Sachs acquired the TZ from Luccini with a spare motor in 1986. Both motors had been prepared by Mirabella Racing in Brescia for Luchini. Peter Sachs raced the TZ for several years in historic races.

Peter Sachs did a full cosmetic restoration of this car, bringing it back to its original specification in visual terms. Both motors have been slightly detuned in that they are fitted with rally-type cams that give full power at 158 horsepower at 7500 as opposed to the full race cams which go up to 7500 with about 5 more hp. The TZ-1 has a full set of current FIA Historic Vehicle documents. The car came with numerous spare parts, including two racing engines, and was recently acquired by Mr. Leerdam from Peter Sachs.
