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 Ive never been inclined to actually go ahead and order one.

Lightly-camouflaged Alfa Romeo Stelvio snapped testing
Mon, Oct 24 2016With the Alfa Romeo Stelvio's expected reveal date at the Los Angeles Auto Show quickly approaching, we're not surprised to see prototypes testing in broad daylight with less and less camouflage. But even these latest spy shots make it difficult to determine details about the upcoming SUV. Just like before the headlights are disguised by heavy tape, but appear to be nearly identical to the ones found on the Giulia sedan. There's also a small v-shaped grille at the front with two rectangular ones on the bottom of the front fascia. The hood has three oddly-shaped ridges, but those are probably more camo to disguise actual creases. Previous SUVs were spotted with much smaller ruffles on the hood. The overall profile of the prototype remains the same as the ones we've spotted earlier with a design that mimics the Porsche Macan. The bulbous rear end of the SUV hasn't changed much either. The familiar taillights are still taped off, but appear to be taken straight from the Giulia. The massive exhaust tips, though, are new and would be more at home on a sports car. With the Stelvio expected to get the same gasoline and diesel powertrains as the Giulia, the weapon-sized exhaust tips on the prototype hint towards the possibility of the SUV getting the 2.9-liter V6 from the Giulia Quadrifoglio.

Stellantis sees vehicle loan durations extended amid banking turmoil
Tue, Apr 4 2023Stellantis is seeing clients seeking longer-term financing and leasing deals for their vehicles as a consequence of higher global interest rates, the carmaker's head for the business said. Chief Affiliates Officer Philippe de Rovira said loans which normally had a three-year maturity were now increasingly moved to four years. "This allows customers to get a car for a monthly instalment that is similar to that they had before," he said. The world's third largest carmaker by sales on Tuesday announced it had completed a plan announced in late 2021 to reshuffle and simplify its leasing and financing operations in Europe. Under its terms, Stellantis created a 50-50 single long term multi-brand leasing company named Leasys with Credit Agricole Consumer Finance. It also set up local joint ventures in European countries for its new Stellantis Financial Services unit, formerly Banque PSA Finance, with BNP Paribas Personal Finance and Santander Consumer Finance. "These banks have always had better funding conditions than those we can have as an automaker," de Rovira said. Benefits of the plan included cutting the number of financing and leasing entities the group runs in each country and the number of IT systems it uses, with expected savings exceeding 30% in this particular area, he added. De Rovira said the group had a huge portfolio of orders it had not yet delivered due to supply chain shortages impacting production. "Demand is not our main issue. The issue is to deliver as fast as we can cars that are in our order portfolio, which is still at record levels," he said. The group aims to expand its corporate leased vehicle fleet to more than one million units in 2026 and to double net income from its so-called banking activities to 5.8 billion euros ($6.3 billion) by 2030. De Rovira said Stellantis was not seeing a downward trend in vehicle pricing. "Probably the significant price increases we have seen in 2021 and 2022 will not be repeated because the context is changing, but for the moment we don't see decreases, we see stabilisation".
