This is an excellent, well running car. I drive it once a week to our winery and it performs as it should, like a real sports car, on our twisty hilly roads. It’s just a blast to drive. This is very much the quintessential Italian driver's car. It's crisp and tight with no rattling or creaking. It's the "Real McCoy" with a high revving motor, rear wheel drive, 4 wheel disc brakes and a rewarding 5 speed manual transmission. It is in very good condition and could very easily be brought up to show standards. Everybody who sees this car, just loves it. You’ll get lot’s of comments, questions and requests for a ride.

These are legendary cars not only for their beauty but for the genius of their industrial design. The Alfa Romeo, all aluminum engine was admired and copied by many manufactures for its durability and performance.

I bought this car 6 years ago in Napa, CA. I am in Paso Robles, CA. So, it has been spent it's life in the dry climates of California wine country and the condition shows it. It hasn't been flogged in LA traffic… Most of the heavy work on this car has been done by either myself (an engineer), a certified Alfa Romeo mechanic in Thousand Oaks, CA or by British Motorsports here in San Luis Obispo, CA. These cars can have a lot of hidden issues and strange configurations made by previous owners. Not this car, it is dialed-in and set to factory specifications when possible. I've tuned it specifically to pass California smog. It's passed three times in 6 years. If you are in CA, I have about 30 days left on the smog certification, so if you buy it in August, you may not have to smog it for two years. If you are not in CA, you don't care, lucky you… I paid cash for this car and the pink slip is mine and clear.

I will make myself available to the buyer for any technical support and advice, however I am selling this car as is. I will also train the new owner on proper operation and important maintenance tasks. There is a good network of Alfa owners, clubs and some very good on-line forums that I've relied upon quite heavily.

Work Done:

• Head gasket replaced in 2013 - excellent compression

• Resurfacing of head, block and pistons

• Machined valves and seats, new valve springs

• Rotta Mini-Lite alloy wheels. I still have the original Alfa Romeo wheels

• Pertronix electronic ignition and Flamethrower coil

• Performance spark plugs and wires

• Powder coated valve cover gasket

• Sound and vibration deadening material in the entire interior

• Undercarriage respray

• Retrosound modern radio with AUX input for iPod, etc.

• 4 new speakers with two in the center console (hidden)

I want this car to go to a good home, so please only submit serious offers.

Alfa Romeo brings back the Quadrifoglio Verde

Fri, Feb 28 2014

With a history as rich as Alfa's, the brand has a wealth of symbology to draw on. Of course the Alfa Romeo logo itself has its own clout and allure, as do nameplates like Giulietta, Giulia and Spider. But another symbol from the marque's 104-year history is the Quadrifoglio Verde. The green clover leaf has adorned the most hardcore performance Alfas since 1923. The emblem was brought back to distinguish the top versions of the MiTo and Giulietta in 2009, both of which are now headed to the Geneva Motor Show in even more enticing form. The new three-door MiTo QV packs a 1.4-liter turbo four driving 170 horsepower to the front wheels through Alfa's six-speed dual-clutch transmission, giving it a 0-62 time of 7.3 seconds and a 136-mph top speed. The latest five-door Giulietta QV, meanwhile, packs a 1.75-liter turbo four with 240 horsepower – the same engine and six-speed DCT as the 4C, only turned around to drive the front wheels from the front end. It's good for a 6.6-second sprint to 62 and a 150-mph top speed. Both models come with a host of upgrades both inside and out, details of which you can read in the press release below. But one of the most enticing parts is the matte grey finish which Alfa is offering on both models, and which only makes us anticipate the marque's eventual return to the North American market that much more. The 'Quadrifoglio Verde' is back on Giulietta and MiTo - The legendary 'Quadrifoglio Verde' that has identified the top performing cars by Alfa Romeo since 1923 is back on the new versions - Giulietta celebrates its 60th anniversary with a new 'Quadrifoglio Verde' - True expression of Alfa Romeo's DNA, this car marks the debut of the new 240 HP 1750 Turbo Petrol engine with all-aluminium direct injection - State-of-the-art 'Alfa TCT' 6-speed twin dry clutch transmission - It's the same engine/transmission as the Alfa Romeo 4C supercar - Giulietta's flagship model can exceed 240 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.6 seconds - New intake system highlighting Alfa Romeo's typical full, enveloping engine sound - New steering wheel, new instruments with dedicated graphics and QV logo and new leather and Alcantara seats, wraparound and sporty, with built-in headrest - New matt Magnesio Grey body colour exclusively created for the 'Launch Edition' special series produced in a limited edition of only 500 vehicles.

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron

Thu, Feb 23 2017

Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.

Alfa Sprint Speciale racer looks fantastic, sounds even better

Thu, Oct 2 2014

Nothing quite sounds like a vintage Alfa Romeo four-cylinder engine at full gallop, especially in motorsport trim. With a combination of low-frequency burbling played over a high-pitch scream, they really know how to sing. This week Petrolicious takes a look at a truly unique Alfa Sprint Speciale that's just as adept at competing in the wide-open La Carrera Panamericana vintage race in Mexico as it is snaking through some undulating, tree-lined back roads. Ostensibly, this is a 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, although it's really much more the creation of Alfa-restorer Conrad Stevenson. The roof section, including the holes for the windshield and rear glass, is original to one of these fantastic-looking coupes. But everything below that is Stevenson's handiwork. To shape the styling, he combined the original Bertone design with his own ideas to purpose build the car for the challenges of the Mexican race. As usual, Petrolicious nails every aspect of the production, especially the handheld camera work inside the cabin as the car negotiates the curves. It really communicates the connection between this swoopy Alfa and its builder. Plus, the sound mix lets the engine play its glorious tune.
