Ahh, you stung me into
....scanning in some (rather poor) photos of the Alfa restoration. I only have a limted number here at work. Will try to upload on the better half's computer tonight.
That P2 embarrasses me. Wonderful restoration compared another certain green one sitting folornly in a northern Victorian barn...ahem.

Hello ds!
Hello ds! Hope you share some photos of your '71 when you get it! Many fellow PuristS are classic car guys on the TimeOut forum! Also don't forget about our Automobile forum on ThePuristS.com site: www.network54.com . Our Richard Mille moderator AndrewH s...
A vote for the Pagoda...
If you are in the market for a 113SL, ds, just do it: you won't regret it! With a choice of hard top/soft top/roadster configuration all in the one car, a great power to weight ratio (for a car of that age), fuel injection, rally pedigree and design chic,...
Another aspect to add...
The Mercedes-Benz Pagoda was also one of the safest cars of its day, if I remember correctly.
No P2 photos, PPlater?
If I was on my own computer, I'd post the Guilietta Spider, but alas am at the Island
That story, BDLJ...
...is wearing thin! ;-) You're on a promise - those Alfa shots are now well overdue. If it helps to prompt you, here's some 'during and after' shots of the Rover (for those who haven't met her, she's a 1948 Rover P3, "4 light" sports model. The term '4 li...

Alfa Romeo 101-series Spider
Tp The 'before' photos.... Top left is all the bright-work off, ready for bare metal respray... Top right is first round of flatting down....should have pulled the engine... Which we replaced anyway. Bottom left is the big end bearings of the replacement ...
It's a gem!...
Of course, now you have to post about a hundred more shots, but that is a serious beauty, and well worth the resto. How is the supply of parts? It's the small things that are difficult, isn't it - rubber moulds, seals, light lenses, badge work? Thanks for...
Ahh. Thank you.
Means a lot coming from a P2 owner/restorer and enthusiast. Really. Once I scan stuff in (and avoid firewalls...grrr) I'll post some restored shots. All was done prior to owning a digi. The badges, etc are actually surprisingly easy to obtain. Some are ru...
Those ones are easy...
...to find, as I had to take lots to remember where everything went. The car was finished about 5 years ago. The challenge will be to dig through my photos for one of the Post-Restoration/Nice and Shiny shots that do it justice.
Thanks for the PM ds...
The guys on the forum would love to hear about your intentions if you're up for it. Until then, as requested: Cheers, pplater. This message has been edited by pplater on 2009-10-17 07:28:22...
Classic & neo classic...
my 1968 Triumph Spitfire has gone now... but I definitely think that the MB SLK is a neo classic ;-) By the way, I love vintage chronographs too !...

Would love to own this one
Sorry, don't know who to credit for this pic. A Volvo P 1800 coupé. A sublime car, with a very British line. The only regret I have is that the motor is not that powerful... Best, Nicolas...
Ford GT...
I was playing Forza 3 on the Xbox last night with my son, and one of the cars was the Ford GT, red with white striping. I had slot racers when I was a kid and the GT40 in white with black striping was one of my fastest cars, very cool. It was an Aurora (n...
Yes, but decades ago . . .
. . . both a '63 and a '65 Dodge Dart GT . . . . . . both of which were white hardtops. Sure enough, there's videos aplenty on youtube . . . cordially, Art
