Could be owned by someone here, but just passed an Alitalia livery Stratos Group 4 I think between Eurocentral and Mossend on the outskirts of Glasgow. Didn't catch a reg no.

Driver however, did have the obligatory grin on his face. Awesome car sir, if you're on here.



p.s. Gis a go, mista!!

Just saw a bit on the news re Monte Carlo on Thu, it was in the background.

Fair point, it must have been the one in the photo that I saw. Would that make it an original then? If so, I appear to be posting in the wrong section, but my last comment still stands ('Gis a go mista').

The car belongs to Nico Alonzi.
It was lent to Top Gear for a lap of the track, 4 years ago.
12v 3.0 Alfa, went onto 5 pots, so TG paid for a replacement engine and fitting.
The replacement engine was a very good rebuilt 12v cloverleaf, from a similar car being upgraded to 24v.
