According to the documentation files, my chassis number AR 2273934 corresponds to a Alfa Romeo Giulia Super 1.3 (115.09), manufactured on the 26th May 1972 and sold on the 30th May 1972 in Pisa, Italy.
So, I just got back from the garage, a wash and a polish in order to keep her in shape for her upcoming 37 year old birthday

They look like Panasports and Yoko tires.

The wheels/tires dramatically change how the car looks (some guy in a Mitsubishi Eclipse wanted to race me last night). Once I feel like I can push the engine I'll know if there's also a dramatic difference in performance.
