Happy to talk Alfas, as well as Cobras ....after all, the title of this thread is "how about some new pictures of our cars"

The Alfa was an Alfetta sedan, vintage 1976. We bought him in 1982 with 32000km aboard. Sold him last year with around 250000 "on the clock".
Was a great car, and sorry to see him go to its new owner, but we knew he would look after him. He had a repaint back around 1998, and the bodywork had survived very well, considering its age. The Alfetta had a lot of history with us, all documented. He was very much part of the family...

Here he was at the start of the "Bay to Birdwood" rally in Adelaide




Cheers!
Glen
