Very nice, are you restoring it as it was, or are you doing something special with it? Sorry if you've already said!

Great Stratos and Fulvia pics Iva, nice to see Martini colours back in racing with Williams!

There's a Fiat Zagato in the Supercars spotted thread .

I don't know how to grab a pic from a different thread.

It's still on the current page.

I bought the car with a first series 1750 engine from an early Berlina fitted - the engine pulled well but I had it overhauled for good measure. Found the con rods fitted back to front which is not an uncommon mistake.

Otherwise the car will stay standard other than a slightly more modern suspension.

I take it you are familiar with Alfaholics in Bristol?

They do a plethora of mods for lots of Classic Alfa,

That's funny I have a pair of sunglasses like that, and a shirt like that and a hairline like that...

, yeah I'm slightly worried for the future, I keep seeing Giulietta spiders and thinking what fun it would be to get the engine to the 116bhp of the Zagato racer, taking of the chrome and having the boys in Bristol tart up the dynamics.

But then what a car it would be...

Saw an X/19 the other day, really nice, despite not being the best condition.



Monaco May 10th RM auctions, tasty tasty car.

Shame that a married couple parked their Strada next to their Barchetta,would've had 9 in a row.



4 others that i spotted,parked elsewhere due to turning up later,including an orange one,

my favourite colour.

Innocenti......not sure of the model.

Ta. This seems to be the one. Although it seems to be called a coupe and a spider on this page.
