Very neat early Alfa

I like the optional skis. This would be the perfect vehicle to use if you live in the mountains.

Great photos and information. There's a full feature on the car (with some gorgeous studio shots) in this month's (at least for the US market) Octane magazine. Six pages or so. I forget what's on the cover... and I'm not sure if it's the July or August issue.

Fascinating piece of machinery, I'll look out for that issue of Octane.

I wonder if an Alfa half-track still has more 'soul' than the equivalent German built half-track
