3 More Alfa's from S.A.

Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum, but have been checking it out for quite a while!
Between my father, brother and myself, we own 3 Alfas. Firstly, we have recently (as of last year) come to own a red GTV6 3L, which we bought from a very sick gentleman in Pretoria. Dawie De Villiers has worked on the car (heads, cams, group1 exhaust etc) and the car is in very good condition considering its age and price. At a recent Dyno day organised by JohnGTA, the car managed to reach 116Kw at the flywheel, which is pretty good considering its age and the fact that we are still going to restore the beast and send some components up to Dawie for some mods (it won best tune out of all the 6 cylinders on the day). Thanks must go to John for alerting us about this brute and for all his support. Kevin has also assisted a lot when it comes to info and organising certain rare parts. Anyways, the car is great fun and sounds incredible!
Secondly, we own an immaculate 1973 GT1600 Junior, which we have restored for the past five years. The car won its class in the 2008 EP Alfa Club concourse. On the dyno, the car put out a healthy 72Kw at the flywheel. The great thing about this Junior is that just before its accident in the late 1980's the car had a brand new engine from Alfa fitted, since then it has been out of action, so it has a brand new Alfa engine!
Thirdly, we have a 2001 147 Selespeed which has also been restored to an extent. The engine was blown (from the cats) so we had to rebuild. The car was repainted and new GTA bumpers were fitted (ex John GTA). The car goes very well and looks stunning.
We hope to add our part to the forum and will definitely learn a lot.
