This is my first Alfa and a car i have always wanted to own when i first saw one parked in Schoeman str Pretoria in 1985.It has 78000 authenticated km on the odo and close to origional.Even got a compomotive in the trunk .Still needs a lot of cleaning up and some origional parts.I could not believe how fast the car is for its age,it blew me away!I am not mechanicaly minded so has a lot to learn about fixing up the car.will post photos once i,ve figured out how to post it.
