Think you’ll need a lottery win (or deep pockets). POA

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say it’s utterly ruined by the colourful anodising and off-red plug leads under the bonnet.

Want !

For me these cars are ruined by use of the modern Twin Spark engine, you can tune the original 2 litre Nord unit to 180+ HP and still have a very torquey motor, I had one in my 67 Sprint Veloce. I'd rather have a car I could use in Historic/Classic events. They are super cars and with the right LSD a real pleasure to drive or compete in.

Like Sam, I hate seeing stainless steel overbraid/red or blue anodised fittings on oil &/or fuel lines.

If I was in the market for a 105 Series coupe it would have to be based on a 'stepnose' - I'd far rather have something like this for a fraction of the Alfaholics creations:

Don’t know much about Alfa’s, but did see one at a show once that looked like that but had rivets everywhere including along the rain gutter, looked like the roof was riveted on, what was that?

Sounds like a genuine GTA...or a faithful replica.

I prefer the look of the Stepnose cars as well but the 1750 mk1 is a close second in my book. I tried a few modified single spark cars and I have to say, the later twin spark motor was a revelation. It just pulls much better everywhere and 180bhp from a single spark would mean a very high state of tune whereas it feels unburstable from a twin spark. Agreed not the thing if you want to go racing but I think the Alfaholics GTA-R builds are for road use. The full Alfaholics package is really good - engine, gearbox / LSD, brakes, suspension and steering all work very well together.

Not cheap though and lots of options at their prices. They are asking £170k for the car above!

Yoda, yes my 2litre Nord had a lot of work in it, cams, head ported, 45 DCOEs, rods and a decent exhaust, etc, but it was very drivable pulled from 1500 through to 7800, not a fussy engine at all. Had a close ratio box and some Alfaholics’s suspension stuff. Took weight out of it with polycarb windows and f/g boot and bonnet. But you could build it for about 30% of what they’ll be looking for that car.

you got a £170k habit, you need to go to Alfaholics Anonymous...

"Under Offer", so somebody thinks it's worth the money (or close).

Nice shot Mike, should have guessed you'd be into Alfas alongside Pork.

Hope you're keeping well. How's the RS running?

Al.

Al, the Rep is doing fine, unfortunately I only have room for one at a time, so the Alfa is long gone(have had a Fulvia, 2002tii and a 240z along with another 911 since), but last I heard it was with a hillclimb colleague and he'd done a few events in it, but that was a few years ago.
