Hi All, Does anyone have a pair of front struts for an Alfa 33 please. Really just need the basic tubes, not worried if springs/pans/pan bearings/shocks are knackered as they'll be going to Leda to have some of their racing inserts and adjustable spring pans fitted. Let me know what's available plea...

Red car is a Maserati Khamsin
Gullwing car is Bricklin SV1

Honda S800

Doing quite well so far, got sump and bell housing but still need a prop. Suspension: RSR in Germany do some up graded parts for the rear and the castor control rods at the front so they'll do and for the upper arms and other bits it appears that Chris Snowden does a kit that replicates the SZ. Prob...

Hi All, Update: Looks like I have a sump so that's ticked off so still need prop and bell housing . I have a big brake kit - 4 pot calipers front and rear and vented disks so should be good there. Even got some Ferrari 5 spoke 16 inch rims to fit over them! Chris Snowden does a suspension kit that i...

Just starting in earnest on my project 75 Twin Spark conversion to 3 litre 24 valve. Have received engine and ancilliaries but need the following if anyone can help: 75 3 Litre Prop Shaft complete. RWD V6 Sump (GTV6 or 75 will suit) Prepared to travel. And I know this is a total long shot but if any...

Just thought I'd bump this one up the list as I've added some better photos......
Cheers,

Tatra Simon? Looks like a late one.........

Just read down and Shrew beat me to it!!!! Damn.

All, I thought I would update this. My 75 is going in for a big service and MOT with Jamie Porter on Wednesday so that it can be ready for a new owner. I've spent the past couple of weeks using this car and it really is a good one and drives really nicely with taut suspension and a great engine and ...

Good call Ted.

My Dad used to have one. Great little cars!

2nd Photo - Ford St Focus or possibly a Noble - bit different but both have central pipes?
3rd photo - Fiat 850 Sport.

Cheers,

Ted

Great discussion guys - watched programme on Saturday and pretty much agree with what's been said here already. The thing that struck me watching and also people comments on here is how much I, and kids at my school, noticed these things when we were growing up - if one of us saw a Lightning, a Harr...

Best wishes for a great Christmas and New Year to all on the forum and in our little Alfa world!
Cheers,
Ted

There is a cynic in me who thinks that possibly - and I'm not in any way accusing the seller of doing this as I'm sure he is legitimately just trying to sell an old, rusty Alfa - but I wonder if it has occurred to anyone that the V5, chassis plate and engine number will all be shown as a Touring bod...

1st lot here goes top to bottom.......
1. Vauxhall Wyvern or some such drudgery....?
2.Fiat Dino 2400
3. Rover?
4. Panhard
5. Marcos Mantis
2nd lot.......not got a clue!!
Cheers,

Hi Guys, Can you help me identify my fuse boxes please? I want to buy the plastic covers for them or buy NOS replacement fuse boxes. Any help much appreciated. Brgds, Simon IMG_4241.JPG Simon, I have a feeling that they're early Ferrari 308GTB or maybe possibly Dino 246/308GT4 fuse boards - they lo...

With Keith on the first - Renault 25/30.
2nd one - wild guess; Auburn Speedster or some such American.....A Packard?
3rd One - Swallow Doretti
4th one - Jowett (Javelin?)
5th One - Vauxhall Velox or could it be an early Ford Consul?
Cheers
Ted

Was the series 2 car once owned and raced by Frank Manning in the late 80's and early 90's?
Cheers, Ted

Well, well, well, - in a box that should be labelled ' what are these because they are not Sud parts' I have two of these indicator repeaters for the 2000 / 2600 Sprint, brand new, in packets ! Cheers, John. John, I have a feeling they're the same as the side repeaters for step front Bertones as we...

First one is an Alfa 2000/2600 Sprint. I don't think anyone could be definite without seeing the bonnet. 2600 has intake - 2000 doesn't.

2nd car - not a clue. Aero-engined special though.

Cheers, Ted

Jensen Interceptor FF Keith? Recognise the rocker covers I think.....

Four wheel drive, early Maxaret Anti lock braking - great car. My boss had two and ended up going to court over the second due to the paint lifting off after a few months of ownership.

Ted

I'm sure some of you will have spotted it but this month's Classic and Sportscar has a feature on buying Alfasuds. Reasonably good but I don't think it will teach many people on here anything new. Nice to see Suds finally being recognised as classics......maybe the AROC will start to notice them amo...

Merry Christmas to all!

Let's hope that 2016 brings a good year for everyone.

Cheers, Ted

Anyone else seen this - looks pretty special?

Shrew, you know I'm just an old anorak really!!

How's the hand? Or shouldn't I ask........

Ted

I might be missing the joke here you two but the car on the calendar is a proper Alfa - An Alfa 4R Zagato of around 1966! It was made as a homage to the 6c 1750 (pre war) and I think only around 100 were made. Worth quite a bit now as they're rare and drive well as they're based on the 105 series 17...

Crikey Shrew, just seeen this. Really not good and I hope you're OK very soon!

All the very best for a fast recovery, Ted

I've PM'd you Josh.

Cheers, Ted

Hi Josh, The person to speak to is Angela Cherrett who runs the Alfa Romeo section of the VSCC (Vintage Sports Car Club). She is an authority on all pre-war Alfas and has written books on the subject, many regarded as definitive - particularly on the 8C and 6C cars. Her address details are readily a...
