Junior Bertone appreciation thread

[Veeayt]

To me, T105 is one of the very few cars that has appeal of exotic metal yet very affordable and drives great. I've been following prices on these in continental Europe for the last three or so years, and it seems that they've gone up quite a bit, and there are fewer cars on the market too. A well kept Junior costs around 15000 Euro now, while flat noses basically cost less at 10-12K, which is +30% than it was in 2010. Assume 2012-13 are the last years when you could buy them for a reasonable price. Hope i'll be the one who does.

Best thread on this forum that I've encountered, a big thankyou to all who post pics, the perfect tonic for another wet and miserable Bank Holiday. I want another step-bonnet... sigh.

Thank you Gene, glad I started this one running.

Removed most of the decals on mine, looks so much better.

Waiting for the sun to come out so can get some more miles under the wheels.

[Gene Vincent]

^^^^ That's just so cool.

Kermit, a little beauty!

They are lovely but for me, it was always the Fulvia that was the prettier car:

[Kermit79]

Thank you chaps.

Taking it off to Prescott Hillclimb on Sunday this weekend if the weather sorts itself out for the day. No runs on the hill in it though.

We have the Sunbeam Tiger for that.

Here are a couple of pics of my car in the sun..which makes a difference.
Trying to put a video up from the drive back yesterday, but youtube is having none of it...

Yes saw that, good piece. Car looks great in the dark blue.

Finally got the video uploaded to youtube. Not been edited. Now all I need to do is sort out an external mic for the gopro to stop the wind buffet, and stop the rubber matting moving to allow the clutch pedal to be fully extended.Has a habit of being fine, and then moves slightly which gives the impression the clutch is fully depressed, when in fact it is not, hence the fluffed gear change near the end.

Will get some of the other videos uploaded in the next day or two.

Looks nice, and you have the weather for it. Have you got anything without music? (What is the tune by the way?)

[beach bum]

I am still experimenting with my camera and external microphones. I have not taken the Junior out with the new setup.

The tune is one recommended by Youtube. Arrow - Inst 3 by Ming+FS .

Bodyshell of my GTA replica edging ever so slowly towards being painted...... work is taking forever but it should only be another week (famous last words?)

Bit of a thread resurrection, prompted by looking through Alfaholics' project cars and planning a few improvements to my Alfa this coming year.
Here are some of my archive, starting off with a photo of my recent wedding:
