One of these in on my wish list but they are quite pricey, we have hired this one a few times on the Amalfi Coast

Same here Scaf, I've been looking at the classifieds and even the later cars with naff bumpers are creeping up price wise. This '67 boat tail rebuild on youtube is a stunner though, hats off to the young lad doing it (he's got a workshop full of Alfas the lucky sod!)....


Such pretty cars....

Thanks for that link - it will be a boat tail or nothing for me, time will tell if I am prepared to dig that deep though

Boat tail is top of my soft top list but beyond the budget right now, sadly.
Mine too, would have to drop my classic mustang which I have told myself is a keeper - but who knows, if the right car come along.........

I’ve watched all of Jethro’s vids. He has some lovely motors!

I always think the boat tails look like someone’s dropped a skip on the boot. £40k is a lot for an Alfa Spider they were worth it for £10-15k but that’s just silly money.

More snow.

One thing is for sure, the mad Italians with a death wish driving “like Italians” on the narrow Amalfi Road always respected the classic Alfa and more often than not gave way with a wave and a smile.

Going through some old pics of car shows. This from the RM Sotheby’s tax sell off in Italy a few years ago always raises a smile... (look closely)
