You and I chew very similar automotive turf. Jags and inboard brake discs still give me shudders. Here is my lastest effort. A little off the BMW path:


1973 Alfa Spider 2000 Veloce, belonged to my wife's older cousin, a retired art professor. She was the only owner and wanted it to go to some one who could fix it up and applicate it. Needless to say I was happy to oblige her. 71,000. Body is great, and the engine is sound but needs all the rubber bit and a brake system. I am rebuilding her from the ground up, she's apart in the shop now.

With three master cylinders, brake bleeding was a major event..

While most of the guys were fooling around with huge, heavy, clumsy cars in high school, I was driving sleek, agile cars and spending more time sober with girls in them than in a garage full of grease and beer...

This is the Alpha I would like to find...

You think BMW got some ideas from Alpha???

I would give up non-driving body parts for an Iso Grifo like this:
