Looking for Hi-Res of this or any Lemans Alfa

[MarcusHMM]

I am searching for a high resolution (300 dpi or better) of this Alfa picture or a similar picture of it or any of the modern Alfa GT cars.

I have a program that lets me enlarge to 12'x10' in an enhanced printout and I want to do the walls of my shop in life size (or close to it) of some Alfas and some other auto pictures.

I am also looking for a high res picture of the 3 GT40's crossing the finish line at Lemans, a hi res shot of a GTV6 racing or otherwise, and a hi res cut away or engineering drawing of a V6, 24 Valve or a 2.0. I have lots of wall space and a large format printer that I want to use up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Well, if I get the proper hi res picture I plan on making it as close to full size as possible. The program I have "tiles" the picture in a large format and enhances it so that it looks decent. Not great, but OK. You carefully match up the alignment marks and glue or tape them up. I would consider it a 4' paint job. Looks very nice from 4' away, but up close its not that good. Not museum quality and the size of the sheets are 11"x17" from a Lexmark 1200 DPI color Laser.

If you want a poster size thats about 32" wide and 17" high I can send you the pieces and it looks quite nice from 4' and that is with the above picture that is only 96 dpi. It is not "glossy" like a photo, but more of a printed look with the laser. If you use a very sharp razor and good metal guide they can almost become seamless in appearance.

Let me know and I can send it US mail rolled up in a tube. If you like it just do PayPal for $5 to cover the postage. They take about 30 minutes a page to print but i leave it to print overnight.

If I get the larger thing going I will offer them up to people for the cost of supplies.

I've got these in high res if your interested. Background's sort of busy on the garage shots. Track shot isn't quite fully sharp. There's a guy, Cleve Collingsworth who takes pictures for SOVREN in Seattle who probably has better shots. Him being a professional photographer you'll probably have to pay.

To Emmo,

This showroom reminds me an awful lot of what used to be Bobcor Showroom, Bob Cozza's place in Buffalo NY.
Is it ?
Thanks
Claude

Claude -
It's the garage of a private collector in the Pacific NW. Some of us have had the good fortune to tour it, most recently at the 2005 AROC Convention - "Potlatch".

Thanks for your prompt answer. amazing how much it looks like Bob Cozza's showroom in Buffalo NY back in the seventies.
I know that Bob Cozza is now in Florida.
Thanks again
Claude
