FCA Heritage at the Schloss Dyck Classic Days

The #heritage Department of #fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be present at the #classicdays, scheduled from August 2 to 4, 2019 at Schloss Dyck, with a stand showcasing a selection of invaluable vintage #abarth and #alfaromeo cars, as well as two iconic classic #fiat spiders. Former F1 driver Arturo Merzario will be the guest of honour. The current #alfaromeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, #abarth 595 esseesse and #fiat 124 Spider models will complete the exhibition

The "automotive garden party" is about to kick off at Schloss Dyck. From August 2 to 4, the historic castle just outside Düsseldorf will host the #classicdays and #fca #heritage, the #fiat Chrysler Automobiles department responsible for the vintage cars of the Italian brands, will be showcasing eight important vintage cars at its stand. #alfaromeo will be taking part with three legendary racing cars, specifically the 1975 World Champion Tipo 33TT12 from the #fca #heritage collection, and two pre-war gems, the 6C 1750 GS (1930) and the 8C 2300 Touring Spider (1934). The Alfa 6 (1979), which was used as a safety car at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit until 1988, will be by their side. The brand with the Scorpion badge, on the other hand, will be represented by the #abarth 2000 Sport Spider (1968), the glorious sports car that triumphed in the most important hillclimb races of the 1960s, and by the unforgettable #fiat #abarth 1000 TCR (1971). #fiat will be bringing a touch of summer with the #fiat 124 Sport Spider (1966) and the #fiat Dino Spider (1972) convertibles.
At the #fca #heritage stand, owners of vintage #abarth, #alfaromeo, #fiat and #lancia cars will discover more about the range of services offered by the department, which includes professional restorations and certificates of authenticity. The vintage car line-up will be accompanied by the presentation of three current models, namely the #abarth 595 esseesse, that celebrates the time-honoured forerunner of the sixties, the #alfaromeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, the high-performance SUV that delivers a power of 510 hp, and the #fiat 124 Spider, the perfect convertible to enjoy sunny days in style.
Attracting over 30,000 visitors, Schloss Dyck #classicdays is one of the biggest events of its kind in Germany. Visitors will experience a unique combination of vintage cars, club meetings, Concours d'Elegance and demonstration races on the nearly three-kilometre-long city circuit.


FCA #heritage - the brand of #fiat Chrysler Automobiles Italian vintage cars
FCA #heritage groups together all the activities related to vintage #fiat, #abarth, #alfaromeo and #lancia cars to offer complete services, including certificates of origin and a dedicated newsletter (www.fcaheritage.com), to fans and owners of classic Italian cars. #fca #heritage also provides original restorations, certificates of authenticity and sells classic cars restored in its own workshops. The new #fca #heritage Hub in Turin is dedicated to #abarth, #fiat and #lancia vintage cars, showcars and prototypes. Finally, the #alfaromeo Museum (www.museoalfaromeo.com), dubbed "The Time Machine", welcomes fans of the brand in the former Arese factory.

 

Alfa Romeo Tipo 33TT12 (1975)
Former Formula 1 driver Arturo Merzario has long been a regular guest at the #classicdays. Again this year, the 76 year old will not fail to personally drive one or two racing cars on the course. One will be the #alfaromeo Tipo 33TT12, with which Merzario and his team-mates Jacques Laffite, Derek Bell and Henri Pescarolo drove the #alfaromeo to win the World Constructors' Championship title in 1975. The car is part of the #fca #heritage collection and is kept in the #alfaromeo Museum in Arese, near Milan. The Tipo 33TT12 is a further development of the Tipo 33 developed by the #alfaromeo Autodelta racing team for the World Sportscar Championship. The name (TT12) is a reference to the most important technical components of the car. The suffix TT stands for "Telaio Tubolare" (tubular frame chassis) while the number 12 hints to the 12-cylinder rear-mounted engine, which officially delivers 331 kW (450 hp) by exploiting an unusual 180-degree row angle with four valves per cylinder, Lucas petrol injector and Formula 1 Dinoplex ignition.
