It amazes me that the nicer a car is, the more people try to find fault. When I drive an unrestored car I get tons of "cool car" compliments. But when I drive my restored Berlina, I get, "hey, did you see this chip in the paint?" or some other comment pointing out some imperfection, that I am painfully aware of.

I think it is amazing that so many people have invested so much of their precious time and money saving and restoring these cars.

The lime green is not my cup of tea, but if I were to see this car in person, I would definitely compliment the owner on a beautiful restoration.
I agree Jeff. The car looks great! Like you say if luv green then this car is prefect!

I hope Alfa's start to go up in value. I think on avergae the sell for far to low compared to the english cars.
