AR 613486

Philosophy

The restoration is complete with the car returned exactly back to its original 1966 Dutch Championship winning specification, down to every last nut and bolt and finished in the livery of the car’s first victory at Zandvoort in July 1966 driven by young up and coming Dutch talent Wim Loos.

The results of the restoration are spectacular and the car represents a wonderful tribute to both Autodelta & Team Slotemaker in this the 50th anniversary year of the 1600 GTA!

originality matters

Original items like the interior seats and dashboard carefully cleaned and left in original un-restored condition to preserve originality.

Original magnesium castings paint stripped, x-ray tested to check for cracks and porosity prior to re-chromating and final surface coating. Our abaility to test original castings is a key element to retaining originality in period restorations and ensures maximum reliability and safety.

Preservation

Having studied period photos we proved that details like the green taped thumb pads on the steering wheel were original to Team Slotemaker and left in untouched condition

Paintwork

Original colours researched and sampled to get exact tint of original paint scheme, paint applied with gun finish without full ‘wet-sanding’ treatment to be closer in keeping to original paint finish.
