Classic Alfa Forums

Hi,

I'm Giovanni and I'm from Italy, I'm owner of a 1988 Alfa Romeo Sprint 1.7 carbs.

I found it in a old stable, stopped from a lot of years (I think 15 or more), and I found it with a forklift. I brought it at my home with a carriage, I bought a book for car mechanics and I started the restauration.

Engine, brakes and so on, and seats etc, I did all with my hand, me and my wife and my sons...

I don't finished the restauration yet, but the car is on the road and I did some reliability trial and some track day.

The next times I post some photoes of my restauration history and some races...

I have a perfect knowledge of the English language, so the blame for all the mistakes you'll find is the Google Translator!!!

Welcome Giovanni,

Hope you enjoy sharing on this great forum.

Cheers.

Welcome Giovanni

Thanks for joining Giovanni, great to have you as a member.

Good to see you getting straight in with a thread, nice one, and don't forget to drag all your like minded mates on to the forum too!

what a great collection at Monza, fabulous track and cars

wondered what the wheels were but was sure shrew would comment....

I think they are a Speedline, which were originally fitted to the other European market cars, such as the 75, the rather oddball 1.6ie!

If i recall they were only 13" so must have looked diddy on a 75, much nicer on a sprint!

I'm afraid, I don't understand so much english, so I have a little difficult to found the right section of the forum where insert my post...
