Let's see your Alfa Romeos!
Discussion
Stretching a point slightly, as it was my Alfa Romeo back in 2001, but its definitely wearing the last 25 years well:

If only I had somewhere to park it, I'd be very tempted.

(the puddle of fluid is the aircon system bleeding itself in these hot conditions, mechanic said perfectly normal)
Spettacolo Sportivo https://www.spettacolosportivo.eu/ this weekend, so expect plenty of piccies.

Wow. 95 or 105? That red is my favourite colour for these.Back in the day I had a kermit green 95. It was hideous colour, but I couldn't see it when I was driving it. And driving it was the point. My mate had a lovely silver 105. We used to thrash them in convoy around the Scottish borders and the twisties in Fife. I had some very memorable long road trips in his one - up the Scottish wet coast many times and two trips to Italy via the south of France. Fantastic things to drive, way ahead of anything else at the time in terms of steering and handling.

Sprint! What a fab shape. So much cooler than the Volkswagen Scirocco.
Pagano Sports Cars with Alfa Romeo mechanics. A TS or Nord looks nuff in this 750kgs shell.
Fab AR 116 - https://www.alfa105.org/Serie116/Alfetta_History - in Le Mans Blu. Maybe check https://squadra-hollanda.de/ which is a German team, surprisingly.
One of the Sleutel machines hidding in the paddocks.
The 3.2 litre Busso powered AR Diva concept car caught my eye. Launced at the 2006 Geneva Autoshow it was a collaboration between Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, Fiat Group's research centre Elasis and the Espera design school led by Franco Sbarro.
Oof and oof. Corwin's Sprint in blu.
This 916 has air ride. Interior compartiment was open to prove it.
@Miss_gtv_nl's bella.
Short intake trumpets love: fierce sounding piece of kit this one.
"What's wrong with it now then...?", and they all laughed.
That green one has the stance.

Out prepping for another advanced driving test, I encountered a photographer lurking by the side of the road in the gloom up north of Ribblehead, so I tracked them down online and bought a few shots off them.
They're great compositions, but they ended up a bit overprocessed, so I've been twiddling and got AI to restore some car details, which worked well. I'll work on these a bit more and get them printed

Alfa Romeo Spettacolo Sportivo Zandvoort 2026
When we arrived, the Scuderia 3 track session cars were ready to line up. Scuderia 1 and 2 are for less experienced drivers and road cars. Scuderia 3 and 4 are for experienced drivers and heavily modified cars, which you can see.
Stripped to the bare essentials and sounding north of angry, these beasts were up for their 25 minute session.
Final check.
And there's that lovely Sprint again, driven by German Alfa Romeo Challenge top-10 pilot Alfred Krumpen.
The pit box area hid more racing exotica, like this thing littered with stickers.
Back to the outer paddocks. The 916 section was directed way in the back. Nice Zoe Gallo on Teledials.
Demo monoposto with Nord engine.
AR Montreal was the odd one out, back in the 70s. But boy, what a beauty.
Between 1963 and 1967 only 112 Alfa Romeo TZ or Tubolare Zagato were produced. Design by Ercole Spada.
Every Alfa Romeo TZ1 was powered by a 1.6 litre Nord Twin cam, trimmed in race spec. They all carried a 105 series chassis number, but were purpose built with a tubular spaceframe chassis, and thus lightweight weighing in 650 kgs. The famous Kamm tail, or Coda Tronca, added to the aero and was a typical Zagato feature.
The all-aluminium TZ1 bodywork was made by Zagato and layed over a tubular spaceframe chassis built in the province of Perugia by aircraft manufacturer SAI Ambrosini. The final assembly was made by Delta of Udine, with Carlo Chiti initially on board as a consultant before becoming the project leader.
More to come.

I've recently bought this 159 2.2JTS Ti for my son as his first car (and for me!). It's needed some minor tinkering but seems to be fine shape
Such a good looking car. Edited by furtive on Thursday 4th June 17:48
Keep the oil and filters as fresh and clean as possible on this. The 2.2 shares the same weak-spot as the 3.2 in that dirty oil can block up the feed gullies to the timing chain, causing starvation and eventually stretching and ultimately, a borked engine.
You don't want that, so service well and regularly and you'll help stave off any issues.

Full phat GTV by Alfa Romeo specialists Steutel.
Another Steutel gem. Gorgeous patina GTA 1300 Junior.
Oof, this one looks the absolute dogs.
A more standard approach to a 'Bertone', as the Dutch like to call the Guigiaro designed 105 coupe.
On slicks!
Proper duo.
Heavily modified Giulia in the Scuderia 3 race category.
Ah, a Berlina in track trim. Loving it.
Ah, a 116 Alfetta in track trim. Gorgeous.
Nice detail.
Culo Largo means Long Thing...
There's one you don't see every day. Between 1962 and 1969 only 2,092 Berlina were built.
Fiat 128 coupe went pretty good on track, albeit no AR.
