Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale 1967 – 1969

If you are fortunate enough to own one the 18 (yes one eight) that were built, I think you’ll be the envy of most ‘Alfesti’ as well as a miscellany of  other make ‘tragics’.  It appears that this model was built by Alfa Romeo primarily for motorsport competition and achieved immediate success, eventually winning a manufacrurers’ championship with [...]

Alfa Romeo 2000/2600 Spider 1958 – 1965

The hard top coupe in this series is definitely not as classy in looks as its soft top sibling, which is simply gorgeous. If you are fortunate enough to own one, drive it with pride as many would be envious. Not to mention that it is probably quite valuable as they were built in fairly limited numbers. [...]

Alfa Romeo Montreal 1970-1977

Probably not one of Alfa Romeos best efforts but hey – you have to give them heaps of credit for trying! Who would have thought of ‘stuffing’ a V8 into a small body like that to take on some of the marque sports cars at a price? Albeit that it was not a resounding success, [...]

Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1954 – 1965

This model was produced in serious numbers by Alfa Romeo with nearly 260,000 being built and it is surprising therefore that more of these are not seen out and about. Unusually, this model was introduced to the market and consumers by Alfa Romeo with the coupe version rather than a sedan. Not only were Alfa [...]

Alfa Romeo 1900 1950 – 1958

The familiar slimline radiator design that has become synonymous with Alfa Romeo styling appears to have made its debut with this model that had quite a few variants over the years of its production. It also appears to be the first of the mass produced Alfa Romoe cars and set the trend for Alfa Romeo’s [...]

AC Cobra 427 1965 – 1968

For those who thought that the 289 was ‘cool’, 427 must have left them breathless! It looked like the 289 had overdosed on steroids! In fact the chassis of the 427 was stronger with additional bracing and a completely new suspension system over which came the revised body p[rofile with the accentuated flare wheel arches [...]

AC Cobra 289 1962-68

This is the model that started the legend of AC Cobra. It looks quite ‘tame’ compared to its muscled-up sibling the 427. As only 673 were originally built these are extremely valuable to those who are fortunate enough to have one of the originals. It’s incredible to think that 50 years ago this road car had recorded [...]
