I enjoy driving the 2002 (which is a standard 4 speed manual 1976 model with some suspension mods) and the Alfa (1975 1600 GT) as much as any modern car, love the direct steering and that I can drive pretty much on the limit all the time, perfect companions to a Z. They do keep you busy though!
My dad had a 74 2002 Ti ( maybe another i in there too 
) it was beige with herringbone trim iirc, lovely cars
) it was beige with herringbone trim iirc, lovely cars Yes it was tear shaped, and very well done, allowed space for the tall SU carbs which were slightly taller than the original strombergs, it also had a fast road cam and some other minor mods, I put it back to original spec over my ownership. It was the most well documented car I have ever seen, every bill, tax disk, mot, and photos of every bit of work from new until the day I sold it. Should I have kept it, probably!

Very nice Steve.
I particularly like your Fiats (I had a couple of 70s models many years ago).
Just wondering about your 124 Spider - did you get them with RHD in Australia, or has it been converted? They were never sold with RHD in the UK.

No, Mr Tidy, you're correct. They were never produced in RHD. This one was shipped over from California before I stripped it down and converted it during the restoration process. Somehow a tuned, 2-litre, twin-Webered 131 Superbrava engine and gearbox found their way into the build as well, so it goes a lot harder than the asthmatic engines from the US. 
I just love seeing all these classic cars. I did the North Norfolk St George's 'Drive it Day' this year - over 400 cars. Just makes you think how many garages have something special in them as you drive down the average road in the UK.
Keep posting those pictures

Lovely!
I looked at a 1600cc spider back in the early 80s, but it was a poor example at a dodgy back-street traders place in Streatham so not for me!
Shame they never did RHD - they were so advanced compared to all those MGBs! :lol:
