Ahhhh ,Alfa Alfetta, that brings back some good memories. My dad had a cream P-reg 1.8 Alfetta and it was the first car I can remember being in.

Apparently We got pulled over on the M1 for going 120mph when the speedo was reading 80mph and the police insisted my dad was lying as it wouldn't be so far out so my mum went in the police car and one chap came in with us and it was that far out. I also remember my dad doing hand brake turns in the snow and 'accidentally' power sliding around the round-a-bout in front of Dewsbury town hall.

He used to have really cool cars before the Alfa - he bought it new following a spell in a Mini Cooper, RS1600 and a Hunter GT, but it rotted through within two years. The doors rotted from the inside out so the glass fell down and the rear window fell in when the whole of the top seal let in water and rotted away from the roof and c-pillars. The bulkhead and footwells rotted through as did the boot and inner wings.

He swears that he kept it garaged and dried it with a cloth whenever he'd been out in the rain but it didn't matter. He traded it in for an R-reg MK2 escort that got nicked within weeks, then he got a Talbot Alpine because nobody would nick it, then he got a Morris Ital from the auction, a sucsession of Montego's, a pug 309d and now an S-reg Primera diesel - I think the Alfa really messed him up!!!

probs worth more than a tenner as scrap alloy if you take the tyres off.

Maybe worth a post on an Alfa forum in case anyone is restoring an old car.
