11 of Zagato’s greatest hits

Alfa Romeo TZ2


Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale


Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa

I put this here really because it shows these so called -- best of/greatest -- etc. have little to do with the best and are more to make some one happy, probably under the table money also.

The TZ2 was a small 4cyl. rocket of a racer ; the TZ3 Stradale is a re-bodied Dodge Viper, designed by Norihiko Harada whose only connection to Alfa Romeo is both Dodge and Alfa were owned by Fiat.

The Corsa was a re-bodied version of this car:

A Belgian light-weight sports car powered by a Maserati V-8 BUT it was designed/re-bodied by ZAGATO.

I was very fond of Italian Auto Designers in the sixtie and later and know full well these are not the greatest, or prettiest but if you read the article you will see the list was actually from  "Hagerty is the UK’s only specialist classic car and motorbike insurance company, run by classic car owners and enthusiasts. " unless insurance is free.

always like tr6's would mind one today to put around in. But there pretty proud of good ones today.
I lived in the Far East for a few years. And before the Japanese and German manufacturers boomed the Italian autos were king. Alfa, Lancia, Fiat and English Austin's and French Peugeot were common. Boy, did I want a Alfa roadster! But ended up with a TR6...

top two look nice. Kind of a Ferrari vibe. The bottom one looks like a Ferrari front with 928 Porche rear. Dont care for that much.
