This has to be a record asking price? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alfa-Romeo-gta-1300-1970...
Theres not much info on it and not much more on their website either.

It's certainly topish, probably testing the market but also (unfortunately) not beyond the realms of possibility that it may get someweher near. Being LHD (and given the very strong markets in Japan, USA and continental Europe) I strongly suspect he is not appealing to the UK market place. I believe similar cars have changed hands for £80k+.

Also it looks to be a very clean stradale which are few and far between, most having been converted into racers or wannabe racers. The value of such clean cars has risen much more sharply in comparison with others.

I will also add that I am not a GTA expert so whilst I follow the prices, at a safe distance, I couldn't tell if it's mascarading as something it isn't (which seems all to common in the GTA world).

Surely that is a 1300 GTA junior and not a Sprint GTA - makes quite a difference to the pricing and this is way into genuine provenanced GTA territory

Doesn't mention Sprint in the advert... does it?.
It should be a genuine 1300GTA-J at that price..... I'd want Carlo Chitti as a back mechanic for that price too.

Original GTAs were 1600cc only - not involving GTASA etc and GTAM mules etc

In addition (sprint -1600) GTAs were only made in the mid 60's whilst the (1300) GTA juniors continued until 1975 as rumour would have it. There is quite a bit of difference in pricing between the 2 models the 1300 GTAJ worth much less all other things being equal.

This car as advertised must therefore be a GTAJ and given the plastic door covering is unlikely to have a racing provenance as such.

As nice as that car is, if I'd a spare £100k+ I'd be putting it into an 8C.

Such a beautiful car. worth every penny IMHO. I would drive it like I stole it (at that price I would need to).

Maybe but an 8C wouldn't get you the chance to race at Goodwood, Silverstone, the Tour Auto, Nurburgring and Spa the list is endless.

You aren't just buying the car you are buying access
