GTV-074

Is that the skyblue / Pale blue / Duck egg blue Super Barry?

I spoke to the Gentleman who owns it a few years back at Spettacolo. Lovely chap.

Cheers,

Paul.

I have owned my 1973 105 GTV since 1996 so that's 17 years this year . In an effort to get the numbers up and on a slightly different tack . I have always had at least 1 Alfa in the garage in 1975 . So i haven't been Alfaless for the last 38 years.

Which begs another question; how long ago did people buy their first Alfa?

My first was a 1971 1750 Berlina, white series two with black trim, Reg FY1097, bought in Auckland in 1979.  By then it had already had 6 owners (in those days the NZ reg papers listed all owners) and with only 70,000 miles had just had its first complete engine rebuild.  I only owned it less than a year before buying a 1976 Sud Ti, which in turn quickly gave way to a 2000 GTV, now owned by Dean Peterken in Hamilton NZ.

I'm not a dino (yet).  My first (road-legal) car was an '83 Alfasud Ti (single carb) - bought not long after I got my license in 1994.

First Alfa; 1968 Guilia Super purchased 10th November, 1969 with 27,149 miles on the clock.

Longest held Alfa; 1952 1900 Berlina purchased 15th April, 1972 as a not runner (in kit form really!).  Probably also a candidate for the longest running restoration project!!
