Fair point. And as you say, definitely no slouch even in standard guise.
Lovely to see someone choose the beautiful Alfa over the more boring/obvious alternatives.

Wonder if that’s a real SWB Quattro?

Thats an Acropolis Rally plate on the little Lancia, maybe it competed in it back in the day.

A friend picked this up this week and what a lovely car it is. Think he got the spec spot on without being OTT.

Definitely on my list when I decide what on earth I need from a car. But I have to say the Ghibli can have some serious road presence.....

His Focus RS is pretty much standard bar the suspension. Has a nice little collection now, as he also has a Renault 5 GT Turbo (owned 22 years), a Mk 1 Escort RS Turbo and a Clio V6.

Can’t help wondering what the injury (or worse) statistics were back then for such idiots, proper car seats were available. It’s just the same as when crash helmets became the law, I moaned and complained, but at least one definitely saved my life. I kept the first one for years, not sure why really, with the lumps missing out of it which would potentially been the lumps missing out of my head. It’s nice reminiscing about how things were at times, but when you look back I’m sure a lot of people realise how irresponsible and stupid we were.

Funnily enough it was my mum who bought me my first crash helmet, I wouldn’t buy one.

They were just race cars.
Ferrari GTO Piloted by Vincenzo Zanini at the Coppa InterEuropa at Monza, Sept. 1963.
And the same car recently, many races and owners later..... In all its splender.

If you want to try a Ghibli S and you find yourself up north then your welcome to take mine out for a couple of hours.
