My First Alfa - springbok - 27-08-2009 11:07 PM Hey guys, look what I found in an old photo album. 1750 GTV but I blew the motor and had a 2000 engine fitted I scanned it and uploaded it for your enjoyment. This was my pride and joy and gave me many miles of exciting motoring. I called it my vacumn cleaner....cos it picked up fluff. It had two twin side draft weber carbs...no fuel injection in those days, and a hand throttle, like an early version of cruise control. I used to apply Turtle Wax and polish it with an old T-shirt. All the bright-work was genuine chrome, no "plastic chrome". RE: My First Alfa - calypso - 28-08-2009 07:11 AM Awesome looking GTV How badly do you want it back?

Mike RE: My First Alfa - Carn - 28-08-2009 04:22 PM Nice wheels dude...what year are we talking here btw? RE: My First Alfa - springbok - 30-08-2009 06:49 PM Yeah, thanks for the comments guys: 1. I would love to have one as a weekend run around. Fully restored and mint. 2. I was young and handsome. 3. Actually there was a 1300 Junior, a 1600, a 1750 and a 2000.. Also a very rare GTA version. 4. I don't have any of the original papers for the car and that is the only pic I have but as I recall it was circa 1972. 5. My Alfa's going great thanks....I would like to refurb the mags as they are a bit curbed and it spoils the effect. RE: My First Alfa - Rich - 31-08-2009 08:57 AM Nice.
