I have also seen an unusual purple colour GTV driving around Mona Vale. There is also a woman that drives one of the nicest silver GTV6's I have ever seen. She is one cool mom whoever she is!

Sounds like around my area. I kid you not, I seem to live in 105 country. The road that my street leads into is about 5 km long. Along that road and in streets that back off from it I know of numerous Alfa 105's the majority of which are 1750's . Lets start,
1;well there is my 1750 and my Sprint gt which I found in an adjacent street in someones back yard.
2. about a km up the road and down a street lives a red 68 Series1 1750 Gtv which is fully restored and once won the Qld Concourse. I have driven this car and it is sweet.
3. About 200 metres from me lives a Guilia Super which is being done up and that guy also owns a Alfetta Sportiva.
4. Now somewhere 2km down the road lives an Ochre Series 2 1750. This car is my Moby Dick, I always see it when I am out driving but it is either going in the other direction or I am on foot. I have never seen the car parked and I have no idea who owns it, all I know is that the car lives in the next suburb, I am dying to catch the car at the local Shell or BP one day. She has cromodoras and looks like she has been fully restored.I will get a better look at this car one day.
5 In the same neck of the woods we have a Maroon coloured 1750 series 2, which is a little rough and unoriginal but the car drives well and is owned by a really nice guy, but knows little about 1750's .
6. We used to have an original Olive green metallic Giulia Super, that belong to a local TV weatherman who apparently owned here from new, but tragically that car was written off after some idiot hit him.
Thats it for 105's there used to be a Junior that was in the area but that was sold, oh and I almost forgot my GT Junior which moved to Melbourne last month.
So lets see, that is 4 1750s, 1 sprint GT, 1 giulia super, one former Giulia super, 2 former Gt Juniors, I sportiva alfetta. Oh there is a fully restored Alfetta GTV 2.0 in Silver . And this what I know of not to mention scores of Modern ALFAs. Not bad for one small area of Brisbane. There are more out there I think, but there are no spiders in my patch (that I know of).
