One of our customer's owns an ex Autodelta/Monzeglio car as well. I bet these two cars were once together! It had the yellow and brown paint underneath it's red just like yours. It's now red.

Holy cow !!! Out of nowhere comes an Alfa God. A true Alfa maniac. An Alfaholic. "My name is GuiliaSprintGTA and I am an Alfaholic."

That is an amazing collection. Welcome to the BB. We look forward to seeing more about your collection.

This collection is just plain SICK. (That's a good thing). Really, the more I see, the more pics I want to see. I personally would love that Giulia and Matta. If only I could find anything remotely this nice, I'd finally buy my first Alfa. Seriously, I'd be happy with just about every car in this collection. Aside from Arese, this is Alfa Heaven to me, and any other Alfaholic.

Okay, if Giovanni tells me he also owns a Carabinieri car, I'd have to ask to marry any single female in his family and then knock off all suriving heirs until I could get my hands on this collection. Hey, it's a Sicilian thing, that's how we handle situations like this.

Wow!!!!

That is a WONDERFUL collection! Welcome to the AlfaBB!

Now, please excuse me while I scrape the dirt off the bottom of my tongue

Impressive is an understatement... !

Do all of the cars get driven a few times a year?

What countries do you find the best condition Alfas in?

GiuliaSprintGTA · #24 (**permalink**) 11-10-2005, 01:21 AM

My Alfa Romeos thank you all alfisti for your compliments!

All the cars get driven at least one time a month.
Here in Switzerland we can have a number plate for two cars (for this reason you can see in the pics some cars without plates) and one number plate for a maximum of nine cars if all these cars are more than 30 years old.

I drive my Alfa Romeo regularly, together with my brother and my cousin, during the year (exept in winter).All the cars are sometimes used as a daily driver for a certain period.
In my opinion these cars must be driven and not stay like in a museum.
It's a joy driving and showing these cars in the streets because in this way people can remember what kind of cars Alfa Romeo was building several years ago.

Regards

Giovanni

Wow. When can I visit you in Switzerland?

boggissimo · #26 (**permalink**) 11-10-2005, 10:09 AM

Can we have a few more pics of the Montreal please? (Or any of them, really, what a cracking collection!)

JD's To Do List:

Research how to hotwire cars on internet.

Pay off local Swiss Chief of Police.

Book Sealand Container for at least 10 cars from Switzerland to US.

Book flight to Switzerland.

Meet Damien in Switzerland.

Steal 10 cars out of that garage.

I just thought of something. With you guys hoarding all these Alfas, it's gotta be driving the prices up around the world. You guys are effecting the world economy, sheesh.

As long as you leave a couple for the rest of us, I guess it's okay though.

If anything, the rest of the owners should be paying you a cut to make sure you don't flood the market someday with all these beautiful Alfas, driving down the prices.

More pics whenever you get the chance, Giovanni.

Grazie, JD

Since you can use one license plate on more than one car, how does insurance work since each car has a different value?

GiuliaSprintGTA · #30 (**permalink**) 11-10-2005, 11:14 AM

Concerning the insurance, that's not a problem because each nuber plate is related to two or more cars and each car has a specific expert report, done by the insurance company (for more recent cars, if you don't want to do an export report, in case of an accident, the insurance company will estimate the car's value).

Here are some pictures of my Montreal year 1972.
The car is original.
