A big tick in the car ownership box! After a steady diet of Pork, its time for Pasta again

Only mildly modified, Alfaholics suspension tweaks, exhaust, cage and GTA number plate light plinth. Came with all the original parts.
Still got its 1600 engine

That bump you heard was Andy fainting clean away in rapture.

Nice purchase !
My first ever Alfa was a LHD '67 Sprint GTV - must be quite rare in RHD (Ian Gunney has one too).
A 'step nose' in white with the green decals & subtle GTA touches is a great look ...

Beautiful looking thing. How does the driving experience compare to a 911?

My 911 is not standard and much quicker than the Alfa. The 911 is a sharper instrument. The Alfa is a little softer and just so nice to chuck about. And the noise is marvellous. Takes me back to my Fulvia days.
I need a double espresso for the 911, only a single for the Alfa.
Parts are so much cheaper! Ordered a rubber seal for the scuttle....it was £17. Not £70.
I have a thing for green and white!

Interesting stuff.
They make a fine pair, and a nice theme to the start of a collection!!

Thanks Robert. Buying a car without seeing it.....not something I have done in a long time....not since a very rusty S3 Fulvia ebay purchase turned up on my drive....and proceeded to leave various deposits all over the drive much to my wife's delight. Fortunately this one has worked out better!

Excellent - I had to promise the PO of my Alfa that I wouldn't put GTA wheels on it or a cage. Your car looks a lot of fun.

It definitely was a big tick that it hasnt had GTA body mods - cut outs and door handles etc
