Anyone here like Alfa's?

Yess, Barnfinds surface from time to time,but imagine an untouched Alfa Romeo 1750!!

Discoveries like this prevent me from giving up all hope for the future,if you like this sort of thing......

Nice find Carleton but I still dream of owning a 1939 G4 Mercedes. Those tandem axles turn me on!

I like the look of the new 159 sedan.

Maybe they will import the 5 cylinder 200 hp turbo diesel engine=)

Very nice! I also have a soft spot for Alfas. My first car was a sprint veloce:




Not my car but mine looked just like this one.

That would be great but you know dam well we will NEVER see high MPG autos (diesels) prosper under the Bush Crime Family times. Perhaps after he is gone and people with a brain come into power... but right now, we're stuck with gasoline.

I've had a few Alfas, cool cars, expensive to upkeep. My last one, I spent almost twice what I paid for it to keep it running, lol. Actually, I think I can say that about most of my cars...
