The Alfa is mine

300hp in a 60's car is an absolute hoot. 18 months of building and I am really pleased with it.

The story is here

Probably not, if I can afford to keep both I'll bring the Fury.

The Fury is better suited to the Alps. Unless it's snowing

Snow in June! Don't be silly. You'll be claiming to have had simultanious horizonal sleet, hail and rain along with fog next

Your Alfa looks awsome Jim. Definately better than the offical Arna!

Thanks Stu

Yes the Arna (Alfa Romeo Nissan Automotive) was a really poor replacement for the Alfasud and butt ugly.

Combining a Nissan Cherry based body and a strangled Alfasud motor was not going to end well.
