Before we start...
A) I know cars (especially Alfa's) are built to be driven, and it's a shame not to do so. But if this car had been driven on a regular basis, it wouldn't be as nice and unique of a representation as it is today.
B) When the car was just a few years old, the original owner decided that he didn't like the way Alfa had gone about doing certain things. The biggest of that was that he felt that the original paint job from the factory was sub-par. The car was fully stripped and re-painted, in the original color. During that time he also fit the mirrors, de-chromed the hood, and then added the seat belts and switch gear on the dash. Shortly after all of the work, he sold it, and nothing has been changed since except for the shift knob and polished intake. The tires are still the original tires that the car came with from the factory and only one looses air over the course of a year.
C) These photo's are solely for the shear enjoyment and beauty of which Alfa's are. Hope you enjoy.
It's stable mates
I still can't figure out what my favorite angle of an SS is. The curvaceous rear haunches where the window and trunk meet, the petiteness of the front end from down low, the dramatic side angle, or the long pontooned fenders.
So that begs the question, what is your favorite view of a Sprint Speciale?
