I was doing research years ago on the Alfa wagon, we stumbled across one of the 12 ever built. They were support vehicles for the Factory race team, they built 3 a year. I found this pic of one towing a 914, presumably at the track.

Cool pic. That 914 looks like it was rode hard and put away wet.

Dang, an Alfa towing a Porsche... you don't see that everyday.

That looks like it could be one of the Monte Carlo 914 GT rallye cars.
Just looking at the placement of the stickers. Neat pic!

Interesting photo. Thanks for posting.

Do you have that Alfa?

I did for a couple of days, I tracked down the original owner, a former Alfa Dealer, who had bought it at the Factory. He quickly bought it back and put it with it's brothers, he already owned 3 of the 12 ever made, but this was the only one he had bought from the Factory, he was very excited.
This was the guy I bought it from, AKA Mr. Alfa!

in fact, it's 914.143.0139 (Monte Carlo 1971, #7) when it was used as training car for the Targa Florio 1971

We all have our vices.

Thanks for clarifying Wolfgang. Forgot about the practice cars for the Targa.

The best part about the deal was the car was deep in Brooklyn, Sheepshead's Bay, I call the guy up and was talking about the car, but asked if it was really a wagon, I had never heard of the wagon. His response was soooo Brooklyn,
"Well, I'm FUCKIN' lookin' at it!"

Great guy, great car.
