CURRENT OWNER SINCE NOV. 2002

MY CUSTOMER  PURCHASED IT FROM THE BOSTON AREA.

I HAVE SERVICED THE CAR SINCE HE BOUGHT IT.

THIS GTV IS A NICE DRIVER THAT HAS HAD A GOOD LIFE BUT NOT A  PAMPERED LIFE.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY SAND COLOR BUT WAS PAINTED RED I WOULD ESTIMATE SOMEWHERE IN THE LATE 90'S.

THE PAINT JOB IS A REASONABLE REPAINT BUT CERTAINLY NOT TO SHOW CAR STANDARDS.

THERE WAS NEW SHEETMETAL WELDED INTO THE FLOORS ABOUT 5 + YEARS AGO AND THEN THE FLOORS WERE SANDED TO BARE METAL AND COATED WITH PRIMER AND PAINTED WITH RUSTOLEUM BLACK.

REAR SEATING /  DECK AREA WAS FINE AND NOT TOUCHED.

SEATS AND CARPETING WERE REMOVED FOR THE ABOVE METAL REPAIR.

NEW FRONT SEAT UPHOLSTERY KITS WERE PURCHASED AND INSTALLED BY A TRIM SHOP.

REAR SEAT IS ORIGINAL - SEAT BOTTOMS ARE GOOD - SEAT BACKS HAVE A SMALL TEAR .

DOOR PANELS ARE VERY NICE .

THE DRIVER'S SIDE KICK PANEL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A PIECE OF WOOD VENEER.

PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL IS ORIGINAL WITH MAP POCKET.

PLEASE SEE PICTURES.

HEADLINER IS IN GOOD TO GOOD PLUS CONDITION.

DASHBOARD HAS A DASH CAP ON IT.

SO ORIGINAL DASH TOP NEEDS RESTORATION.

GAUGES WORK FINE.

RADIO IS NOT WIRED IN.

BODY HAS MINOR DINGS AND DENTS .

BUMPERS THE SAME .

FRONT GRILL HAS SOME PITTING COULD USE A REPLATING.

EVEN THOUGH THE FLOORS HAVE HAD SOME METAL RESTORATION THE BODY OVERALL HAS HELD UP REASONABLY WELL.

JACK POINTS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE ALONG WITH THE INNER SILLS AND OUTER PANELS.

TRUNK FLOOR ALSO IS IN GOOD SHAPE ALTHOUGH THE SPARE TIRE WELL HAS HAD SOME MINOR  REPAIR WORK DONE IN THE PAST.

UNFORTUNATELY THE FRONT BOX SECTION WHERE THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR IS ATTACHED AND THE RADIATOR BOTTOM SUPPORT AREA IS RUSTED AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT / RESTORATION.

PLEASE SEE PICTURES.

THAT SAID THE BAR IS SECURELY ATTACHED AS IS THE RADIATOR.

CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE ABOVE CONDITION SINCE THE OWNER BOUGHT IT.

ALSO WHEN I PERFORMED THE RADIATOR SERVICE / REPAIR I HAD NO PARTICULAR PROBLEMS REFITTING THE RADIATOR.

GLASS IS GOOD AND SO IS THE RETAINING TRIM.

CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WELL.

I HAVE TAKEN A COMPRESSION TEST AND ALL 4 CYLINDERS ARE 150 + TO 160 PSI. EACH.

IT HAS A FUEL INJECTION MANIFOLD ADAPTOR KIT [ SHANKLE ? ! ]  FOR THE CARBS.

FUEL TANK WAS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED AND RESEALED BY THE RADIATOR SHOP I USE.

RADIATOR WAS RECORED A FEW YEARS AGO.

BRAKE SERVICE WAS DONE ALSO A FEW YEARS AGO.

ALSO AN O.E. CISAM  EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED  A FEW YEARS AGO.

GEAR BOX WORKS FINE BUT DOES NEED TO BE WARMED  UP BEFORE 2 ND GEAR IS AT ITS BEST.

A BOX REBUILD IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE.

CLUTCH AND RELATED HYDRAULICS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.

SUSPENSION IS OLD BUT STILL IN DECENT ORDER.

TIRES ARE OLD AND NEED REPLACEMENT.

HEATER FAN MOTOR IS FROZEN AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR.

A GOOD USED SPARE HEATER FAN ASSEMBLY IS INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE.

FAN HAS BEEN TESTED AND BOTH SPEEDS WORK FINE.

WIPER ASSEMBLY WORKS FINE.

MY CUSTOMER BOUGHT THIS GTV IN NOV. 2002 FROM THE EAST COAST / BOSTON AREA.

HE HAS TAKEN GOOD CARE OF IT , GARAGED AND RARELY DRIVES IT.

SO DO TO THE FACT OF HIM RARELY DRIVING IT HE HAS DECIDED TO SELL IT .

HE IS A MOTIVATED SELLER AND HAS LOWERED THE RESERVE.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS BASICALLY A GOOD GTV, A NICE DRIVER  BUT IT IS NOT A 90 + POINT SHOW CAR.

I BELIEVE  IT IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A FUTURE RESTORATION .

CAR IS OPEN TO ANY INSPECTION.

PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

Alfa Romeo 4C Spider brings roofless Italian performance to the well-heeled masses

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Following through on its Geneva concept and year-end rumors, Alfa Romeo has introduced a roofless version of its mid-engine 4C at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Like the Lotus Elise, the canvas top on the 4C Spider isn't some fancy automatic roof. Instead, owners will need to manually sort things out. Unlike the Elise, at least, the 4C's top is easier to manage when both fixing and removing from the mid-engined sports car's body. For those that prefer the security provided by a hard top, a removable carbon-fiber roof will be added after launch. Aside from that change, most of the tweaks for the 4C Spider have to do with options and equipment. As we explained in our original post, opting for the topless version of this turbocharged Italian will still get you to 60 in just 4.1 seconds, while Alfa claims the 4C Spider can still pull 1.1 lateral g. Check out our full gallery of photos of the new 4C Spider, direct from the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, at the top of the page.

I love the Disco Volante Spyder

Wed, Mar 2 2016

For the past couple of years, Touring Superleggera has always given me reason to pause at the Geneva Motor Show. Casually sitting on the company's rotating stand is the Disco Volante, an absolutely exquisite version of the Alfa Romeo 8C with custom bodywork. I first saw it in red, then green, and now in a powder blue, as a Spyder. Only seven of these open-top Discos will be built, and I want one. Photos do not do this car justice – you really have to see it in person. For those of you who won't make it to Geneva this year, this video gives a better look at the curves and lines of Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera's creation. The tuning house is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, and the new Disco Volante Spyder is (arguably) some of its finest work. Plus, bonus points for the name alone. How cool would it be to tell your friends you've got a Disco Volante in the driveway? But don't just take my word for it. Have a look at the gorgeous little two-door in the gallery below.

Notes from the 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia reveal in Milan [w/video]

Thu, Jun 25 2015

It's an interesting time for Alfa Romeo. Wednesday marked the brand's 105th birthday, but also a rebirth of sorts. The new Giulia is the first of several new vehicles to come out of the Project Giorgio skunkworks that has been quietly working to reimagine the brand. Fiat Chrysler is banking on these cars to finally turn Alfa around. Before the Giulia was rolled out, Alfa Romeo CEO Harald Wester acknowledged that the brand has had its share of missteps in the past. He then called out today's sporty offerings for having evolved into near-perfect but boring, commoditized cars across the industry. They have no soul, he said, nothing to differentiate one from the next. While I'd argue that each brand in the performance space still has something to differentiate itself from the others, anything that can be done to restore some of the man-machine connection lost to electronics and added weight can only be seen as a good thing. I like what I'm hearing from Alfa so far; below are some notes gleaned from the unveil event that make me think this reawakening might just work. The head of the skunkworks is Philippe Krief, a former Ferrari engineer. This is certainly a good sign for the car's dynamics and powertrain. Krief was quick to note that the Giulia uses "real" torque vectoring, not a brake-based solution like some others use. The rear differential uses a pair of clutches to apportion torque side to side. Alfa claims the car's steering will be the quickest in its segment, which I take to mean the one that currently includes the BMW M3, Mercedes-AMG C63, and Cadillac ATS-V. Immediacy translates to the braking system, as well. Alfa has come up with a new design that combines the stability control and brake servo into one unit; it's said to be simpler than two parts and also improves brake response. I'm pretty sure Krief even called its design beautiful while it flashed briefly onscreen. Quadrifoglio cars get carbon-ceramic brake discs to further improve performance and reduce weight. I didn't get to sit in the car, or even open the door, but I liked what I saw of the interior. The center console is angled to hem the driver in a little, which works well with the canted, sweeping dash. It kind of reminds me of the look in newer Mazdas – clean and simple with a good balance of organic curves and straight edges.
