Tony Adriaensens book "Allegeritta"

["Steve Schaeffer" <borrani@xxxxxxx>]

Has a few pages on it, and some nice photos.  If you don't already own this
book, you should.

I'll paraphrase the book a bit:
Introduced to the press on the Monza circuit on April 24, 1963 as the
competition version of the Giulia Ti.   Big cloverleafs on the front wings,
the type indication on the back panel and the little grilles in place of the
headlamps  placed in the middle.  Campy aluminum wheels with 155x15 tyres
and a modified dashboard gave an extra sporty look.  Thin size steel was
used for the body work and all sound -deadening mat'l was removed.  The
front seats were lightweight bucket seats and the opening mechanism for the
Plexiglas windows in the back doors was removed.  This  resulted in a loss
of weight of about 100kg in comparison to the Ti.  The engine was the same
as the one used in the Giulia SS.  Fuel admission was thru a single
electrical fuel pump in combo with twin Weber 45DCOE14 carburettors.  A fuel
tank with a capacity of 80-100 liters could be fitted on request.  Brake
power came from Four Dunlop discs.  The mid-placed headlamps were removed
and the holes were used as extra air ducts.

In the early stages of Autodelta's activities, and unidentified no. of TI
Super cars were prepared for racing.  These versions boasted 160 bhp at
7500rpm.  It has been impossible to find the exact modifications that were
carried out nor the total production no. of the Autodelta TI Super.  The no.
of those special versions was probably very low as Autodelta was at the time
fully occupied with developing the TZ models and the GTA.

A remarkable fact is that the registering of ths car in the GT category for
the 1963 Tour de France edition, a race in which it took fourth place
overall behind three Ferrari's.  There were only 501 TI supers produced.

Happy Thanksgiving USA!
