In 1962, de Klerk created a custom-made, single-seater racing special built for the South African Formula One Championship, powered by an Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.5-litre straight-4 engine, which was christened as the "Alfa Special".[2][3] The Special participated in two World Championship Grands Prix, retiring at the 1963 South African Grand Prix and finishing 10th at the 1965 South African Grand Prix.[2] It also entered five non-championship Grands Prix, scoring a podium finish at the 1963 Rand Grand Prix.[4]
