Absolutely love it, and would consider if A) it was LHD and more importantly B) finances would allow (not being helped by the GS).

I bet it sounds very inspiring as well!

Lovely, I’m a big Spider fan - I would just change the dash to the analog which was one of the really nice things in the original. But the price….too many other cars available at that price.

We have a well restored 1600 Duetto for sale here at 38.5k, that’s more in reach. I’ve been looking at it for a while now…but I’m not sure if I like the round tail over going for an early Kamm tail 2000.

That Duetto is absolutely gorgeous!
I prefer the round tail, but that's a matter of personal taste of course.
The market seems to value the round tail higher as well.

An incredible car and great attention to detail. Expensive, but look at the hours that have gone into and the materials used - I don't think it is over priced, it's just finding the right buyer.
Love it that it comes with ear defenders & an intercom system too!

Should we talk about shipping..? Wonderful!

The Classic Car Hub is a nice little place, with its own motor themed cafe and the chance to look at what is for sale/stored.

I put my own GS in there each winter.

So..... What's the difference between this and one that has an electric motor chucked in? Both are miles away from an original.

The car looks beautiful and may outperform any other alfa of that era but it is a hybrid of old and new which ultimately fails to impress. Part of the fun of driving my father’s 2000 (1977) was learning to work with the car not a sequential gearbox but a standard box. Not the new suspension set up but the slightly dodgy Alfa original. If you want to go faster get a new car.
