My guess that it’s an umbrella handle hand brake?

Thx. It’s a 67. 390GT S code. So a manual. High option car.
Took a long time choosing wheels and many gave me a hard time for choosing Minilites. (They’ve no eaten their words). They’re a snug fit but the stance was so important to me.

Anyway. Just completed a 5 year resto but I’m all out of space.
And the rest ... !

I remember you buying it a lifetime ago! It was originally a blue car wasn't it (from memory).
Yes it was blue when I bought it out of CA. A bit worse for wear but the only rod was on the passenger front floor. Amazingly solid.
Original colour on the Marti rep is white.

Thanks! Ditto for your Alfasud - beautiful (and soooper-rare too)!

There is a very similar one where I store the GTV6, and it never fails to amaze me how much innovative engineering there was in these cars...transaxle and inboard rear discs on the GTV6 and inboard front discs on the Alfasud...you've just got to love Alfas (If you love Alfas!)

Took mine out for Sunday lunch today smile

What did it order - steak? Looks like a steak kind of a car. Or fish & chips. Nothing vegan.

Brownie point from me for keeping the oval lights.
They are looking very special alongside the huge lumpen tall moderns.
I regret not getting an XJ-S at some stage.
Most will need fortunes spending now unf.

Not all of them need fortunes spending on them, and they're not bad to run. I agree about the lights too.

First time outside since it arrived almost 9 months ago. Still feels like it needs months more work before it will be on the road. Almost regret buying it at this point.



This has the potential to be so cool though!!
These two pics show the look im going for. Will be super cool if I ever finish it.
