No I b**dy well didn't! wrecking a decent Alfa to make a kit car and then some muppet sticks it on a classic car calendar? Disgraceful. :x

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 1750 range.

Hi Ted

I thought it was the fact that its placed on a Boyes quid calendar, but you have me thinking again now! :P

OOPS! Sorry! I thought it was a Marlin kit car or something! Ive never heard of the Zagato!!! Is it like a Panther/Excalibur sort of thing? Happy to stand corrected.... I blame it on my scarred youth with my dad owning a Ford Cortina based Spartan .... Yuck. :o

Ha ha!

Are you rushing back to boyes to grab one now Chris?


I'm with you on these earlier models, quite in the dark really, and although Ted is still a mere whippersnapper himself, he certainly knows his classics! :P
