FIRST - WHY AM I SELLING? I am about to turn 71, and according to my doctor - my back is shot! Just sold off my
MG-B, and my MG-TD. Now it is the Alfa. Shortly it will be my Porsche 944 S2; my Fiat Multipla; and my Nash
Healey,,,,, I am at that age where (I can't believe I am about to say this) - I NEED A BUICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!
So, the cars are going and need to sell. PAINT: Repainted see details below.
CHROME: Rechromed see details below.
ENGINE: Rebuilt see details below.
This car was originally imported into the United States by an American service man stationed overseas. It stayed
in his family, passing to his brother-in-law, who sold it to me. It was taken off the road by the previous owner
around 1998 to undergo a restoration. The gentleman I bought the car from is now quite elderly and was not able to
provide me exact dates on some of the work, but I feel the dates below are fairly accurate.
Between 1998 and today the following work has been done. The car has less than 1,000 miles on it since it was put
back in running condition.
ENGINE: The engine was rebuilt some time in the mid 1990s it has less than 1,000 miles on it since the
rebuild.
OTHER MECHANICAL: Converted to a single wire alternator, and was converted from positive ground to negative
ground. All instruments/other wiring converted. Master cylinder rebuild by White Post, brake kit and front wheel
cylinders.
PAINT: The paint appears to have been done, in the original color, sometime around the same time as the engine
mid 1990s. The paint today is bright and shiny looks good. (As you might imagine, the car does have a chip or
two see below).
CHROME: The previous owner tells me that he sent all 62 pieces of chrome out for rechroming. I find it hard
to believe the car actually has that many pieces of chrome but it is clear that the chrome has been redone.
(there are two places where I find the chrome to be lacking: One is on the instrument bezels; and the second is
the hubcaps the car could use a new, or rechromed set to be up to the standard of the rest of the chrome.)
INTERIOR: The seats have been changed for those of a later model Alfa. The previous owner said he did this
because the seats that were originally in the car were not adjustable, and the replacement seats from the later
Alfa are. Seats are in good condition. The carpet set looks amateurishly installed and has some wear spots
(please see the 3rd last picture) it should be replaced at some point. Also, the shift boot is missing from
the bottom of the shifter. The glovebox door does not have a key may need a new lockset.
BODY: The car does not have a top it has the frame, but not the top. It apparently was in rough shape and the
previous owner discarded it, and Ive never been inclined to actually go ahead and order one.

Mitsubishi Mirage
On Location at the Alfa Romeo Museum with the new Giulia
Tue, Jun 30 2015The most exciting news from the reveal of the new Alfa Romeo Giulia was undoubtedly the 510-hp Quadrifoglio model that will top the lineup. To play up the brand's Italian-ness, as well as the fabulous sound the twin-turbo engine makes, Alfa had opera singer Andrea Bocelli sing the car out onto the stage. The event took place at Alfa Romeo's old headquarters in Arese just outside Milan. It's also the site of the brand's museum, which has been closed to the public for years and was recently expanded and redone. We got a quick preview ahead of the museum's official public reopening on June 30, 2015. Anyone traveling to the Milan area should definitely check it out, even if those who aren't die-hard Alfisti. Before the Alfa event, I got to spend some time at Expo Milano 2015. Expos like it are held every five years now around the world and are the modern-day equivalent to a world's fair. The theme was "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life" with the pavilions from various countries showcasing displays on food production, shortages, and future solutions. When you're done watching our On Location video, stick around for an Alfa promo reel that teases the Giulia's insanely delicious noise.
Hybrid and Electric Jeeps, Fiats, and Alfa Romeos to be built in Poland
Sun, Jan 3 2021WARSAW - Fiat Chrysler will invest more than $200 million in its plant in Tychy in Poland, where new hybrid and electric Jeep, Fiat and Alfa Romeo models will be built, Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Gowin said on Tuesday. The investment comes as a boost to emerging Europe's largest economy, which is hoping a switch to electric vehicles can help its auto sector catch up with regional rivals including the Czech Republic and Slovakia. "Modern, hybrid and electric cars of the Jeep, Fiat and Alfa Romeo brands will start to leave the factory in Tychy in 2022," Gowin wrote on Twitter. Gowin said there could be further investment in the plant in future but gave no details. Fiat Chrysler, which is planning a $38 billion merger with French rival PSA to create the world's No.4 carmaker, said in a statement that early preparations for the expansion and modernization of the plant started in late 2020. The plant in Poland's industrial southern region of Silesia is one of the company's largest and currently employs around 2,500 people. Fiat Chrysler confirmed that new hybrid and electric Jeep, Fiat and Alfa Romeo models would be built in Tychy. It said the aim was to start mass production of the first of the three new passenger car models for the group's brands in the second half of 2022. Under a 2018-2022 plan, FCA pledged to invest 9 billion euros in electrification as part of investment plans totaling 45 billion euros.
