Here is a family owned Alfa Romeo that has been a member of our stable since 1993. I surprised my wife with the car and she enjoyed it for many years, I even was allowed to drive the car occasionally! My sister then bought the car in 1998 and it moved to Arizona where it has lived ever since. She used the car and enlisted my help refurbishing it. We installed Koni shocks, bigger swaybars, 1in lower springs, sump guard, roll bar, as well as many bushings and rubber parts, brake pads etc. Then about 2002 it went to an Alfa Specialist near Phoenix and had the top end overhauled, and the Trans rebuilt. Many small bits were included in the work like the engine and trans mounts and all hoses. The car became a weekend toy and was always garaged. A sudden change in fortune brought the car to us again in a trade for a pick up truck. I was delighted and ready to continue the project. First was a down to bare metal body restoration, much time and energy was lavished on making the car as near perfect as could be. Mike Love in Lake Havasu did the work, the quality is evident and the cost was breath taking. The interior was next and the pictures show the condition clearly, new seat skins were done and a beautiful cloth top fitted. The carpets are in good condition, not new, but very nice. The fuel system has been recently serviced with new fuel pumps fitted to ensure continued reliability.
I do want to mention the following known issues, the top of the dash does have cracks in it, as many do, the heater is not plumbed in as the core began leaking, these would be the only flaws I know of.
Since 2008 the car has been driven infrequently and stored in my garage in Lake Havasu, kept on a battery tender. It's a shame to have this beautiful car sitting unused, so it is up for sale.
1985 is the last year for the two binnacle Tach and Speedo. It was the first year for Bosch fuel injection, which brought greater reliability and better driving manners. My wife has another collector car and I suffered an injury that does not allow me to drive a stick any longer. This is an enthusiast owned car that has had much to much money spent on it, my loss will be it's new owners gain as I doubt you will find many Alfas in this condition.

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
Alfa Romeo to launch eight new products by 2018, increase sales to 400K units
Tue, 06 May 2014
Alfa Romeo will go back to being the brand people admire, according to CEO Harald Wester.
After a few streams of news on the various brands in the Fiat Chrysler family, here's the deluge we've been waiting for - Alfa Romeo. The legendary Italian brand is being pointed towards a renaissance, as shown by the brand's five-year plan.
Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.
