Alfaowner.com is also a useful forum for classics, not quite as anal as AlfaBB. The Owners club Forum used to be THE place for advise, but it’s lost too many key people in the last few years.
However the AROC register Facebook group is very good, for instant advise.


There are four main suppliers for 105 parts, two mentioned already also Highwood Alfa, and EB Spares.
Veloce sport sell parts on eBay too, they are slightly cheaper than the others, but personally I tend to use Classic Alfa as the service is excellent.

FWIW, ClassicAlfa is so good that, when I'm at my house in Italy, it is still cheaper, more reliable and quicker to order parts from them (to be delivered from the UK to Italy) than to go to any Italian or German supplier.

Thanks guys, much appreciated some great info to give me a starting point. Some research coming up. Any recommendations for bodywork as it needs some welding work, front floors one wing and potentially sills, and more if i want it immaculate.

Some stunners on this thread. The 4Cs and 156gta in particular.

Here my humble Alfa, had it over three and a half years which for me is a VERY long time. I really like it, other than a multi air unit replaced under warranty it’s been reliable, cheap to run, reasonably powerful (168bhp 1.4 turbo) and practical.

That is a shape I can never tire of seeing.

Thank you for putting the picture up.

You’re welcome. We all need a bit of cheering up so here is another (taken by a talented friend I should add, not my pics). I could keep going but don’t want to bore everyone!

Wow, thanks.

Don’t get me started ..... I have loads! It was a pleasure watching him work, I wish I was as creative.

Great pictures. Love the Alfa's. Im tempted to purchase an Alfa 147 for commuting. Anyone have any experience? Budget around £3k.

Any pictures would be greatly appreciated of your examples

Time to move on from the rat look. Still can’t afford the full body resto it deserves but in the meanwhile it’s getting a make over and will be shiny again Verde Muschio. Can’t recommend the paint shop enough if you’re in the SW London Surrey area. It is tantalisingly close to being finished although not sure how long now with this pesky virus!

[blackmamba]

Looking good - which body shop are you using?

Iain Dusty at Merton Crash Repairs. Loves his classics and has a soft spot for the 105 coupe so has gone the extra mile.
@iaindusty on insta to see some of his stuff.

I currently have Recaro Speed seats in the car which are a great road and track seat. Very comfortable and supportive and don't look too modern in my view.

I am probably going to change them though as they are a bit too wide for me (or more realistically, I am too small for them) and I want something that fits more snugly. I have a seat in mind and was going to offer these for sale but I guess that will have to wait for now.

Can't recall if I posted a pic of mine before, but if not then here it is (on the right).



And here it is on the left
