Miscellaneous Car News

I will be sure to let you know.

 

Yep - this no reserve on Collecting Cars, so it will sell this time.

I haven't seen a 348 on any auction site in UK that has cracked £55,000.

If my money still wasn't tied up, I would personally bid that 348.

 

I think the problem in this kind of situation is that they probably designed and build the chassis first and then styled the car around using the Alfa 33 as a theme.

But I 100% agree about proportions.

This is where I think Fioravanti was a genius - he really understood the importance of proportions, as all the greatest designers do.

 

Cheers mate, can you please let me know what it sells for.

 

We don't have a motorcycle thread so it's here.
Oh Wow!

The wagon does it for me as well.

If Richard Mann is involved, it'll be very well executed

 

Take one for a drive...a looooooong drive,before you pull the trigger!
Make sure you include some range/corner work when you do.

Oh by the way,all the red badges are bullshoit...never on 'em when built.

 

......and this colourchange coupe.

Strange choice of colour. Should have left it white

 

It’d be ok for the breakfast runs we do. I don’t think I could do a long trip without proper air conditioning

 

Not that one.
Once it has rust forward of the front of the doors it goes to the firewall and downward to the sills and ultimately the subframe,a real nightmare and prohibitive to repair.

 

It's a way better option than the ES.
They are very heavy on the steer and it'll remain in the shed on hot days as you swelter with no A/C and not powerfull enuff to power an aftermarket system.

 

Yep it certainly looks the goods.

 

Greg if you really want to get fairdinkum I'll give you Gerry Lister's phone number,he will likely know every car you're looking at and will give you a drive of his.

 

I’ll let you know. Still in the gunna phase

 

Wow, those gauges look stunning.

Using the photos as sole reference, looks unusually good value given the price vs condition.

Am I missing something here?

 

Not exactly the best interior I've seen in an Europa.

I'm 6ft 1 (185 cm) and I could easily fit into an Europa. How tall are you Simon?

 

I thought the same
