Ebay q & a -
Jacob -
Love your car, hope it does well at auction.
Sorry to see such a pathetic litany of questions - ebay is filled with this kind of stuff. World is filled with all kinds, I suppose.
Seems like that last one reads suspiciously like some of the scam stuff - don't let him offer to pay with a money order or use an escrow
The question I have is for the rest of the board here to answer, and that is the one pertaining to the "frenching" of the lights? can anyone provide more detail on that detail?

A: Roman, Beautiful work. Although I am not interested in commissioning you the new owner of the car may very well be. I will post your question to let those interested in the car know who you are and what service you offer. Thank you for your interest - and again, your work is very beautiful. -Jake
Q: Who was the designer of this model ? Aug-27-07
A: Pininfarina designed the round tail spider as well as many other Alfa Romeo and Ferrari models. Some of the Alfa models he designed were the Pescara, the 1900 Sprint Coup, the Giulietta Spider, the Dardo, and the latest models of Spider and GTV. Pininfarina also designed the most beautiful Ferrari, such as the 250 GT, the Dino models, the 365 GTB, the Testarossa, the F-40, the F-50, the 360 Modena, and many others.
Q: Hi there, Very nice. Do you have the missing badges ie trunk and farina badges for the sides? does the car come with any history? Why are the lights not 'frenched' behind the light covers as per normal Euro version spiders? Cheers R Aug-25-07
A: Unfortunately I do not have the missing Farina 'f's or trunk badges, which are the script style, not the block letters, and would look really nice. The headlights are as they were when I bought the car, and as you say are not recessed as they should be. I just never got around to correcting it. The only paper trail that I have for the car is the previous owner's registration and California license plate. He didn't give me any other history on the car. I did contact the Alfa Romeo Historical Archive three weeks ago and request their records on the vehicle. I'm still waiting to hear back, and if they give me the information while the auction is still open I'll be sure to include it on the auction site. Thanks for the interest and good questions!
Q: Hallo. I see that you only sell to US/Canada. I am from Norway(Europe), but I will use a Norwegian company located south of NY to pay you and arrange the pick up. Is it ok if I bid? Jan Aug-24-07
A: Jan, That sounds ok, but its a lot of work on your part. If you want to put that much effort into getting the car then happy bidding and good luck!
