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.

Best in Show: 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta wins at Pebble Beach

Mon, Aug 27 2018

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Well over 200 vehicles from 17 countries competed for Best in Show honors at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but there could be only one winner: the 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta you see above. The deep blue bodywork of the vehicle was first seen at the 1938 Berlin Motor Show, and the vehicle was recently restored to its original show condition. This Alfa Romeo is owned by David and Ginny Sydorick. "This car is one of only five built, and it has recently been completely restored, taking a huge amount of effort and dedication from all those involved," said Sydorick after the win. The '37 8C 2900B Touring finished ahead of a 1929 Duesenberg J Murphy Town Limousine and a 1948 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Figoni Fastback Coupe for the golden ribbon. This is the third time an Alfa Romeo has won the coveted Best in Show trophy at Pebble Beach, the first an 8C 2900B Touring Spider in 1988 and the second an 8C 2900B Touring Coupe in 2008. Last year's winner was a silver and blue 1929 Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta: Pebble Beach Misc.

2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio Road Test | The driver's choice becomes less compromised

Wed, Jun 3 2020

The 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio marks the third model year of the Italian SUV. And every time we’ve driven it, weÂ’ve come away smitten with its driving dynamics but disappointed in areas of technology and finish. So, Alfa Romeo has made some changes, upgrading some interior pieces, revamping the infotainment system and upgrading the driver assist systems. Wisely, everything mechanical has been left alone. The result: This is the best version of arguably the best-driving performance crossover on the market. But it still has room for improvement that could continue to sway some buyers to the competition. WeÂ’ll start with a recap of the best part of this crossover: how it drives. The now famed Ferrari-derived 505-horsepower V6 is the headline grabber, for good reason. It delivers loads of power and does so smoothly and across most of the rev band. It sounds great when driving in Dynamic or Race mode. The transmission itÂ’s connected to, an eight-speed automatic, shifts smoothly and reasonably quickly, but some of the competition can crack off shifts faster. But what really makes the Quadrifoglio shine is the combined capability of the chassis and all-wheel-drive system. They provide enormous amounts of grip and a neutral feeling that encourages you to keep adding power through every corner. It feels light and responsive, more like a car than a crossover. ThereÂ’s a bit more body roll than you might expect for such a serious sporting machine, but itÂ’s not unwelcome. It gives the Stelvio a fluid, lively feel, not unlike what you would find in a Miata, which is also slightly roly-poly. The Stelvio is never upset by bumps, either, and the ride ranges from compliant to bouncy depending on the driving mode. The steering in Dynamic and Race mode is extremely well-weighted and progressive, though in Normal mode, itÂ’s a bit light and numb. On the whole, though, the Alfa is wonderful to drive. Nevertheless, itÂ’s also a luxury crossover starting at over $80,000, so it canÂ’t just drive well. It needs to provide a premium experience with plenty of gizmos to justify the price. In this area, the Quadrifoglio makes a solid initial impression. Every surface is covered in either leather or carbon fiber, and features double stitching at every seam. It looks and feels lovely. The interiorÂ’s crown jewels, though, are the huge aluminum shifter paddles.

Watch Alfa's 4C storm up Goodwood's hillclimb course quicker than a Corvette

Sat, Feb 22 2014

Alfa Romeo's gorgeous 4C remains a car that we in the United States are forced to admire from afar. Thankfully, our petrolheaded brethren in the UK and Europe seem all too happy to flaunt the 4C at most every opportunity. Take this video of the team at Goodwood, running the mid-engined Alfa up the estate's historic hill. Watching the 4C run the course while belting out its adorably angry engine note is plenty entertaining on its own. Of course, it gets better when the Goodwood folks lay down some serious rubber following the car's 61.1-second lap. That number bests the wet time of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, by the way. Have a look below for the full video from the team at Goodwood.
