History
Alfa Romeo supplied TZ chassis to Bertone and Pininfarina to explore a road-going version of the TZ. Bertone's car debuted at the 1964 Paris Motor Show and was christened Canguro, meaning kangaroo. Alfa Romeo turned the proposal down shortly afterwards; one possible reason given is that Autodelta could not yet build the chassis in quantity.
