Arturo Merzario and "his" Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ “n. 00167” was the car that helped Arturo Merzario to prove that he had what it took to be a driver, but it was also a faithful companion in his adventures. With her, Merzario obtained his first important wins and reached the altar, where he found his wife, Anna. More than half a century later, Speedholics helped the “Cowboy” to catch up with his old Alfa Romeo again.

If there is a racing god...then He looks like Arturo Merzario...exactly like that...!Se esiste un dio delle corse...allora assomiglia ad Arturo Merzario...esattamente così...! Gli auguro una lunga vita...!

[@d23bw]

What a great man with a great attitude. The cheek of the club attempting to not give the cheque to the winner. I'm glad he got it and that finger at the end of the video is perfect.

[@thesoultwins72]

I spent my honeymoon in Varese.....and being a passionate cyclist took my bike and rode up to the Madonna di Ghisallo and around Lago Como. One of the most beautiful places in the world.

[@dusankocisevic6823]

WHAT A WALKING LEGEND. 💚🤍❤️

[@hobbymanx9200]

Not WALKING Is a DRIVING legend lol

[@Peter34....]

Ein toller Mensch mit großer Leidenschaft. Diese Generation wird mir im Motorsport fehlen.

[@stephanemathieu5721]

Elle manque déjà, je bossais il y a 30 ans pour le rallye cross et tout à changé

[@BradfordtheEclectic]

​@@stephanemathieu5721C'est vrai!

[@sebastiano8565]

Now that the age of the power-banks-on-four-wheels has arrived 😁, I sit in my 1972 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV designed by Giugiaro (while he was still working at Bertone), start the Busso in-line-four with two double carburettors and go find some twisty backroads in the hills. I am absaolutely sure that Merzario's blood has a higher octane rate than my uncle's home-made Grappa 😉. Merzario, sei una leggenda!

[@sammykhuri1885]

Nothing like the sound of Alfa

[@oscaramonra2598]

Querido e inolvidable angel de la suerte Dn ARTURO MERZARIO , gran piloto en el despertar de los autos de formula uno con motores en la cola , tan dificiles de domar en sus inicios , el fue una pieza clave EN EL DESARROLLO en los equipos donde armonizo su genio y talento , y en el comienzo de esto menciono al ANGEL de la suerte por que con su valentia y aun con autos lanzados a toda velocidad se arrojo sobre el auto de NIKKI LAUDA en llamas para socorrer a su compañero de ocacion desabrochando los cinturones de seguridad , EPICO VERLO CON SUS BRAZOS ROGANDO QUE BAJEN LA VELOCIDAD A SUS COMPAÑEROS DE GRILLA , y de esa forma lograron salvarlo los medicos , verlo a ARTURO es conmovedor ver como pasaban los autos a su lado a toda velocidad y el con sus brazos como elices desesperadas rogando que paren , siempre estaras en nuestros pensamientos aqui en ARGENTINA , siempre te recordamos ARTURO querido , me alegra verte tan bien , es justo que tal sea , que tengas mucha proteccion y guia de DIOS , abrazo grande y por favor date una vuelta por aqui , te esperamos . CIAO .

[@extremathule982]

This guy saved Niki Lauda's life at the Nurburgring...

[@frankschweikert3914]

And Niki never thanked him for saving His life...

[@Dreyno]

@@frankschweikert3914Yes he did. He gave him his Rolex watch to say thanks. They remained in contact until Lauda died.

[@arminwestenhofer2735]

And for that he will be rewarded with a long life... good thing...

[@robertosacchi689]

Grande Arturo ! sei sempre stato il piu' grande mito per noi. Negli anni 70 passavamo la villeggiatura estiva nella casa di fronte alla chiesetta del Ghisallo, mio cugino un po' piu' grande di me, si ricorda ancora quando offrivi il gelato al bar del stazione distributore Shell verso Magreglio, parlando delle corse imminenti con Ferrari. Da li sono diventato un Huge Petrolhead con diverse Lotus e Porsche. Tuttavia certe Alfa rimangono il mio piu' grande desiderio. Al Ghisalllo e Civenna poi sono state le mie piu' belle vacanze di semrpre

[@arthurteo8111]

A delightful personality and so brave too.

[@klipton3154]

Cet homme a une personnalité qui pourrait servir de modèle à beaucoup ... Et cette voiture magnifique. Comme par hazard, j'ai eu la chance d'en voir une il y a quelques jours à un rassemblement de voitures anciennes. De couleur blanche et dans un état exceptionnel 😍

[@nigelfisher3756]

I honestly think Aturo loves Alfas more than Ferraris.

[@Pulsonar]

Alfa was where Enzo Ferrari began his career, it doesn’t surprise me. They won Le Mans in the 1930s several times. The Alfa name means infinitely more to pro racing legends than it does to the average consumer who grew up with a not so good image and stereotype of Italian road cars.

[@Albdentist]

This guy was in the only painting on Enzo Ferraris office wall.

[@nicolasgaudiano5065]

Simpatico este sr Mersario...y toda una leyenda. Gran ejemplo pa los pelaos...!!

[@marcusjohnson488]

What a gorgeous car. Never seen one before. And a great story from a very cool dude 👌

[@guillermoazul220]

So love 50's and 60's Alfas. The SZ is my absolute favorite although wouldn't mind a Canguro. Nope. Beautiful SZ!!!

[@idaho_band]

I've had my '55 Giulietta Sprint for 25 years now. So glad the times I had the notion to sell never came to fruition. Such a joy to drive and behold :) Always wanted an early Spider.

Ciao, bellissimo video, grazie 🍀🏁❤️

[@eamonnmckeown6770]

So right about the debt thing. Robert Malone cites getting debt free a few years ago as the primary reason he can say what he wants to say. Ditch the car loan even the mortgage and live.

[@pauldutram455]

What a pretty car!

Absolument ARTURO.MERZARIO..a sauvé. Lz vie de NIKI LAUDA..( la Ferrari. Était pourtant. En.. FEU....BRAVO..no.comment !!

[@denisvarkas5285]

Hero!

[@jakobmarley1127]

Es gab eine Zeit in der Formel 1: Immer wenn ein Fahrer ausfiel, kam Arturo Merzario und kam auf Anhieb klar. Wenn man seine Alfas sieht, kann man neidisch werden.

[@drincogni]

At the beginning i thought a cowboy with alfa romeos?🤔 i had no idea there were alfas in texas!

[@user-bq4un2zx1s]

There seems to be a little Texas in Arturo!

[@shabbos-goy9407]

UTTER FUCKING CLASS

[@eldr4320]

😊

[@TimSolanic]

It’s sez he pulled a trailer with his new race car. Me and a buddy don’t believe it without at least 1 photo. 🤓

[@defilippijeanlouis8820]

Prost était génial sur piste sèche ....Mais sur le mouille il ne valait pas la moitié d'un Ayrton Senna ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️😢😢😢

Arturo beve solo Coca Cola

I miss Emu.

[@fiors73]

😅

[@vicenteorozcosantacreu]

Nella sua tuta dice" Arturio" Merzario.

[@_speedholics_]

Arturio è il nome di Arturo come registrato (per errore) all'anagrafe

[@Rammstein56]

The golden age of F1, personalities like him, fortune seekers, gypsies and charlatans represented the sport. Merzario was and is beow zero cool always wearing his white Marlboro hat, personalities dominated F1 NOT the big bucks. You could see from the billboards where they raced ELF in France, Agip in Italy BP for England and death was alway near. People drank Martini, smoked Marlboro and we did not care, Ford Escort Mexico's were cool, VW made Beatles and everything Alfa made was out of this world even the Sud was crusty😂cool. Yes, life was better when I was a kid........Dad had a cool Renault 16 TS
