August 24th and 25th of this year the Dutch Alfa Romeo Owners Club SCARB organizes its club
weekend at the racetrack of Zandvoort. The Spettacolo Sportivo Alfa Romeo is the largest annual
Alfa Romeo event in Europe and sees visitors from all over the continent and even further away.
The program for the weekend includes races, parades, track training sessions and much more.
100 years of Zagato
The main theme is the design and couch building company Zagato celebrating its 100th
anniversary. In 1921 the first Zagato body on an Alfa Romeo chassis appeared: the G1 Lusso. Many
other Zagato bodied Alfas followed, like for example the 6C 1750 from 1929, famous for its
victories in many races as well as its sleek and elegant design. Spettacolo visitors will see a variety
of Zagato creations; Alfa Romeos and other makes. Many of those cars are very rare or unique.
Record attempt
A ‘Zagato’ that can be spotted on the road a little more often is the Junior Z from 1969 and its
sister model GT 1600 Z from 1972. These models are put into the limelight to celebrate their 50th
anniversary. With the support of the SCARB’s Junior Zagato Register and the Dutch Junior Zagato
Archives, we aim to gather together as many cars as possible, during the Spettacolo.
Alfa Romeo launched the 145, successor of the 33, at the 1994 Turin Auto Show.
Its sister 146 appeared December of the same year and went into production in 1995. At the
Spettacolo we celebrate their 25th anniversary.
