Oh my god. I absolutely love the car on the right in this shot - what is it? Presumably some kind of Alfa zagato, but what?

Vic, we will have the pair :?: I 'd be happy with the one one the left 8) they are TZ3 Stradale, wife and I luv Alfa's 8) Only have
Momo seats from a 166 Lusso as deskchair, and a GTA display engine which tells its own story that the beautiful Italian bodies don't last :roll:

The body on my 53 year old Giulietta Sprint has lasted pretty well... :wink:

It is very reminiscent of the TZ2 (not surprising I guess) which is one of the beautiful sorts cars ever created IMHO. I do appreciate the design of modern supercars, but this is the first modern car that gives me that 'feeling' like the sports cars of the 60s.

Hi Lightweight
What a beautiful looking Giulietta (great colour), makes me miss my old Sprint GT. Sorry to 'nit pick' Jasper but 50's & 60's Alfa where no worse than any other cars of the time (better than many in fact) it was in the 70's when it all went wrong (dodgy Polish steel I believe)...
Love the TZ3, but I'd take a TZ2 or a TZ1 any day, still nice for a modern :wink:

All the best
Ian F.

I only mentioned " Italian cars " and not specifically singling out any make, pre 76 Porsche and Mercedes SL's were no better.
It's just a fact that pre 76 there was very little rust protection. Hence the finished value of the car is a huge factor in a restoration job. I have scars on my back from rust and rustoration :roll: The style of Italian cars are to die for, 4C, 8C, Duetto, X19 .Sud sprint veloce, 156 sportwagen, Delta Evo, Stratos, Toplino , Miura etc not all are very expensive the 4C is circa £40k.
