Benji,

So does that mean it's yours now? I was kind of hoping that GTV Racer would hold on to it just a little longer so we could see it in Detroit this summer. Don't you feel a Berlina road trip coming on?

Great looking car, obviously in good hands.

Which car is this? Who used to own it? Do I have the VIN? Thanks

Andrew...

This used to be my car...you probably still have me listed as the owner.

hi peter,
i have to commend you on the wonderful job you did on the suspension of this car in addition to the superb overall condition of it. i have driven so many alfas and this by far is one of the most solid ones that i have ever driven.

i was always a giulia super/ti fun and never was a berlina fun but you made me become one.

thanks again!

Very nicely prepared Berlina, I love the colour combo. Where have you tucked the front signal lights?? Or do they exist?

Thanks for the extra pics.

Peter, could you tell me what suspension its running, if you remember? I'm about to start restoring a 1750 Berlina and am going for a look pretty similar to yours (Benji's), just with a different color scheme.

I want to lower the car about 1-1.5 inches, hence the questions about your suspension set up.

it has bilsteins, iap springs (?), vented rotors (front and back). here are some photos taken before the it was detailed.

I feel sorry for anyone that has to make the decision to sell something like that. It would be a very hard decision for me...

I wish the new owner great luck and enjoyment!

Roman found a nice replacement fascia wood for the dash that looks great.

I knew I had seen this car on the BB before! I am surprised that the auction didn't list Roman Tucker as the restorer - I would think that would be a big calling card (at least around here). It's got to be one of the nicest Berlina's around - not sure about it being a "GTA' though...
