A real beauty. Love the color. I had those wheels many years ago and liked them very much. But I had a real problem finding a tire place that had the machinery to remove/replace tires because the center hole was too narrow. Had to be done by hand. Hope that's no longer the case. Good Luck and have fun!
The Newest Alfista - Back to the Future
I've just been lucky enough to buy a 1966 Duetto (European import, obviously). The car started its life in Brescia, (northern) Italy, was exported to the UK in 1994, then to the US (California) in 2003. The car is white (AR008) and in very nice overall condition, with an older restoration, probably done in England. It has no visible rust issues at all, which makes me truly happy. The original rubber floor mats and coverings are under the carpets. Following are the first things I'll want to address...
-- I have the original steering wheel in the trunk, but I have a question about that. It's a black plastic two spoke wheel, which I thought was used only in the 1300 Duetto Junior. I'm probably going to want to find a three spoke 1967 Duetto wheel or a later wooden one.
-- Also, the car has Mille Miglia wheels, which I like, but one cap is missing. I hope someone here will help me with that (please?).
-- I will want to find an owners manual to keep in the glove box.
-- I will need to source some headlight fairings.
-- I need some correct badging for the car too.
-- The hood will need to be slighty adjusted forward on the driver's side (it's slightly askew).
So, may I introduce to you my new, old car?
