Known internally as the ES-30, or Experimental Sports Three-Litre,
this was Alfa Romeo's interpretation of the Sprint Zagato in the
1990's. This low-production, high-performance automobile was
designed by Robert Opron and Antonio Castellana, who had based it
on the floorplan of the Group A/IMSA Alfa 75. The SV was nicknamed
Il Mostro, or the Monster, due to its angular thermoplastic
injection-moulded composite body panels, which generated quite a
response from the public, although there was no denying its
impressive performance. Flanking the traditional Alfa triangular
grille opening are six small headlamps, which have been arranged in
echelon. The tail lamps are placed in a panel across the rear of
the body. There is a full-width horizontal spoiler across the rear
hatch, and the simple alloy wheels are of a drilled-disc
design.
This incredible SZ was delivered new to its native Italy and first
registered in 1994. Amazingly, its odometer shows that it has been
driven less than 1,300 km from new, which is believed to be
original. As such, it presents in wonderful condition both inside
and out, showing few signs of use. Importantly, it is accompanied
by a set of original owner's manuals. With just 1,036 examples
built between 1989 and 1991, these are very highly sought-after
cars today. Finding a low-mileage example can be difficult and as
such, this particular SZ should not be overlooked.
