Giulietta Turbo Autodelta: (temporary) conclusion



Dear Alfisti,

First, thank you to all who helped me in my "Quest for the Lost
Giulietta" (especially to Luc Colemont, John Christensen and Jack
Habit)!
This is a short summary of the information I collected about this car
(although I'm not quite positive about everything):

The Giulietta Turbo Autodelta (not Turbodelta!?) was developped and
produced by Autodelta (in collaboration with Avio) in the early 80's
(1983-1985?). The car was produced for homolagation purpose.
Autodelta bought 500 bodies of Nuova Giulietta from Alfa Romeo, but they
produced only 361 (342?) modified cars before they bankrupted.
Some of these cars were sold in Belgium (5?), in Netherlad in Germany
and, of course, in Italy. Somewhere else? 

And now some technical stuff:
The engine is the 2.0l twin-cams (carburettors) with an Avio turbo. It
produces 175HP.
The suspension comes from the GTV6 (too bad the body doesn't...), but it
has been stiffened (torsion bars, springs,...).
The brakes are the most impressive modification (after the engine) that
Autodelta made on this car: it has rear vented disks and TWO brake
calipers on each front disk!
The wheels are the metric "phone dial" Speedline, with Michelin TRX (no
other choice...).

My father's car is dark brown, with red interior. I don't know if some
were produced with other colors. I would say no, since these colors were
never found on any other other Alfa (the paint is much darker than on
the brown GTV6's).

I would very much appreciate any other information!
