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 they are TZ3 Stradale, wife and I luv Alfa's 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
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
All the best

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 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.

Jasper - can only find three differences: fourth bullock from right has tb in top shot, the paint on the right fender has been polished down 20 microns in the top pic, steer handler is wearing Boss in the top shot but Calvin in the second... am I close?
