Patagonian Alfetta

A picture of my 1980 Alfetta GTV negotiating cones during a recent oldtimer's rally which linked up a series of local wineries ("Ruta del Vino"="Wineries Trail") in Northern Patagonia (Argentina), where I live. Unrestored but always well cared for (still wearing its original velour upholstery, for example), it's used on an almost daily basis as the errand-runnning, second family-car and for more extended touring over the weekends.

1972 Berlina just painted (for only the second time?!)

I just drove the berlina home Sunday. Still have some bits on the exterior (namely grafting the larger outer hi/lo headlight's, wiring the fog lights in, and attaching the rocker trim) to finish, but she's roadworthy! I will post some pictures of the interior (new seats, door panels and headliner) and under the hood.

I'm looking again. I dropped away from the marque in 2003, but the temptation is strong. Tomorrow I'm going to look at a 1989 Spider Veloce nearby.
