Giulia Stationwagons

[ossodiseppia]

I just got a copy of Het Klaverblaaje, the Dutch Alfa club magazine with Theo's and Eric's article. I've have never seen some many pictures of Giulia wagons. This article is 36 uninterrupted pages. Great job Theo. Is there any chance this could get translated into English? It would make a great reference manual. Thanks for the copy of the magazine.

Still the best Alfa publication in the world...but I miss Ben

Very nice! Look at the little Giulietta SW with the side-hinged door. Just a bit of Volvo 166 wagon.

Is there a way to obtain this publication in the US?

In related news, Conrad Stevenson just got his green no-windows wagon back from the paint shop, after years of serious metal repair on his part (including remaking new drip rails all the way around), and it looks great. Verde muschio, I believe. This is the old Griswold dealership wagon that's been in the Berkeley area for at least 30 years, perhaps forever. I'll get some pics when I can.

Thanks for the compliments of the article. Rik Zuurbier is trying to translate the article in English. So you all just had to wait.

I can understand the missing of Ben. I am not like Ben and don't have that many time he had for the article's and the writing. I miss Ben too!

Intersting to see that RHD wagon in South Africa, I haven't seen that one before.

There are reputedly 3 wagons here, I've seen two of them, one running in Johannesburg, yellow with a black roof & Momo Vega's & the other a LHD restoration project, which was stripped to provide bits for the third one. All the rare bits are missing, so it's going to be a nightmare to rebuild the second one - interestingly enough, it has a very big sunroof & the top was an aluminium panel riveted onto the A, B & C pillars & no it was never a police version with the huge sunroof.

Story has it that the 3 were on their way down to Oz, when they were off loaded here & used Factory reps cars. Not sure how accurate this is, as it's doubtful that the LHD car would have been sent either here or to Oz.....

The 2 I've seen have windows, now this one too.
