FIRST - WHY AM I SELLING? I am about to turn 71, and according to my doctor - my back is shot! Just sold off my
MG-B, and my MG-TD. Now it is the Alfa. Shortly it will be my Porsche 944 S2; my Fiat Multipla; and my Nash
Healey,,,,, I am at that age where (I can't believe I am about to say this) - I NEED A BUICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!
So, the cars are going and need to sell. PAINT: Repainted – see details below.
CHROME: Rechromed – see details below.
ENGINE: Rebuilt – see details below.
This car was originally imported into the United States by an American service man stationed overseas. It stayed
in his family, passing to his brother-in-law, who sold it to me. It was taken off the road by the previous owner
around 1998 to undergo a restoration. The gentleman I bought the car from is now quite elderly and was not able to
provide me exact dates on some of the work, but I feel the dates below are fairly accurate.
Between 1998 and today the following work has been done. The car has less than 1,000 miles on it since it was put
back in running condition.
ENGINE: The engine was rebuilt some time in the mid 1990s – it has less than 1,000 miles on it since the
rebuild.
OTHER MECHANICAL: Converted to a single wire alternator, and was converted from positive ground to negative
ground. All instruments/other wiring converted. Master cylinder rebuild by White Post, brake kit and front wheel
cylinders.
PAINT: The paint appears to have been done, in the original color, sometime around the same time as the engine –
mid 1990s. The paint today is bright and shiny – looks good. (As you might imagine, the car does have a chip or
two – see below).
CHROME: The previous owner tells me that he sent “all 62 pieces of chrome” out for rechroming. I find it hard
to believe the car actually has that many pieces of chrome – but it is clear that the chrome has been redone.
(there are two places where I find the chrome to be lacking: One is on the instrument bezels; and the second is
the hubcaps – the car could use a new, or rechromed set to be up to the standard of the rest of the chrome.)
INTERIOR: The seats have been changed for those of a later model Alfa. The previous owner said he did this
because the seats that were originally in the car were not adjustable, and the replacement seats from the later
Alfa are. Seats are in good condition. The carpet set looks amateurishly installed and has some wear spots
(please see the 3rd last picture) – it should be replaced at some point. Also, the shift boot is missing from
the bottom of the shifter. The glovebox door does not have a key – may need a new lockset.
BODY: The car does not have a top – it has the frame, but not the top. It apparently was in rough shape and the
previous owner discarded it, and I’ve never been inclined to actually go ahead and order one.

Alfa Romeo 4C La Furiosa revealed by Lapo Elkann's Garage Italia

Sat, Nov 14 2015

Visitors to the Dubai Motor Show who stopped by the Alfa Romeo stand were treated to this aesthetically modified 4C created by Garage Italia Customs. To make this particular example stand apart from an "ordinary" Alfa 4C, the customizers cloaked it in a velvet matte-finish red, similar to the original show car. The roof was left in exposed carbon fiber, fading into red, like the engine cover and brake calipers. The trim around the headlights, air vents, and side mirrors has been left in carbon fiber with a thin coat of candy red that leaves the weave exposed. The wheels are painted gold, and the interior is swathed in Alcantara. The creation was made for Alfa Romeo by the customizing firm started by Lapo Elkann. The eccentric brother of Fiat Chrysler chairman John Elkann is himself an heir to the Agnelli empire, and has played a variety of roles in the company - including brand promotion and the creation of the Gucci edition Cinquecento. Alongside fashion house Italia Independent, Lapo founded Garage Italia Customs to apply his unique sense of style and that of his team to models like the Fiat 500, Jeep Renegade, and Maserati Ghibli. Related Video: Milano, November 10th 2015 Garage Italia Customs in Dubai with Alfa Romeo 4C "La Furiosa" On the occasion of the 2015 Dubai International Motor Show, Garage Italia Customs presents a world premiere, La Furiosa, the 4C one-off created for Alfa Romeo. La Furiosa is the result of the meeting between the "Mechanics of Emotions" and the Style Center together with the Maestros of Garage Italia Customs. It is a unique model that combines the high level technical characteristics of this Alfa Romeo and the Tailor Made interventions of the Lapo Elkann team specialists. THE EXTERIORS The stage for the debut of this new creation by Carlo Borromeo - head of the Garage Italia Customs Style Centre – is the Alfa Romeo stand at the Dubai International Motor Show. Hence, La Furiosa is unveiled to the international press next to the Alfa Romeo 510 CV Giulia Quadrifoglio and the latest versions of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio, the Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe and the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. The aim of the Garage is to create a car which emphasises the 4C wild style with a strong and extraordinary aesthetic impact. Special toned-down painting characterises the external livery.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio to get a new rear-drive base version

Mon, Jul 2 2018

Good news for those who want an Alfa Romeo Stelvio but do not have the need for all-wheel drive: Alfa is reportedly introducing a cheaper, solely rear-drive version. It will still have plenty of power. Car & Driver is reporting that there will be a new, rear-wheel-drive base Stelvio for 2019, one that undercuts the current cheapest Q4 model by $2,000. That would mean a starting price of $41,440. However, the gap will widen slightly as the all-wheel-drive cars will see a price bump for 2019. The base model's only engine option will be the four-cylinder turbo, offering 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque. The transmission is the eight-speed automatic. C&D also says that the RWD versions will be kitted out more cheaply than AWD models, as a posher Ti version will always come standard with AWD. The new base models are likely to bear Q2 badging to differentiate them from the "quattro per quattro" Q4 models. And, if you're still willng to add a little something to the RWD Stelvio, there will be an available Sport package that offers 19-inch wheels and performance-oriented accessories such as aluminum pedals, painted brake calipers, paddle shifters and more. This does almost negate the price difference between the 2018 and 2019 base models, as it is said to cost $1,800.

CAR adds details to Alfa Romeo's five-year plan

Thu, Aug 9 2018

Much of this month's issue of CAR Magazine is devoted to Alfa Romeo and what we can expect from it in the next five years. Of course, they unfortunately went to print before FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne died (and it took a while for it to land in my mail box), so certain elements are bound to change in light of new leadership. Nevertheless, there are plenty of interesting tidbits to chew on. First, there are a few more details regarding the Alfa Romeo 8C super car, which was confirmed during FCA's recent five-year plan announcement. Unlike the last front-engined, rear-drive 8C, the new one would be mid-engined with the rear wheels powered by a version of the Quadrofoglio turbo V6 brought up to the 600-horsepower range, and some amount of electrification added to the front axle. CAR indicates a total output of around 800 hp and 660 pound-feet of torque. A carbon fiber monococque would help keep the weight down, and to keep cost down, reporter Georg Kacher posits its production will be farmed out to a third party like Dallara. Both pricing and performance will be interesting with the 8C: how much does FCA want Alfa Romeo to compete with Ferrari? Without Marchionne leading both, perhaps it won't matter. View 19 Photos Then again, how much it wants Alfa to compete with Maserati might, as the future Giulia-based GTV coupe could do just that. Apparently, the coupe and convertible range is intended to compete with the entire breadth of the German two-door catalogue, from 4 Series and M4, to C- and E-Class Coupes. Presumably it'll therefore be more than just a Giulia coupe. Regular, high-performance and plug-in hybrid versions are mentioned. Finally, as was part of the previously announced five-year plan, there will be SUVs introduced on either side of the Stelvio. Apparently, it was originally thought that the smaller of the two would be produced on the cheaper Renegade/500X platform, but that has been nixed in favor of the Giulia's "Giorgio" platform to maintain a higher degree of engineering sophistication. If so, good call. The bigger of the two new Alfa SUVs would also be on the platform, and since it's been rumored that the next Jeep Grand Cherokee will be as well, it'll be interesting to see how similar those two mid-size SUVs will potentially be. There are many more Alfa insights from CAR, but as it's restricted to print and not on their website, we can only urge you to swing by your local magazine rack and pick up the latest issue. They do good stuff.
