Hi all... I have just bought my first Alfa... looking forward to a light resto and a fun little car for Sunday drives in synny Canberra. Keen to engage with like minded folks....

Well, fancy that. I've got a white '85 QV Sprint that I'm in the process of getting on historic plates. In Canberra. Very much looking forward to comparing cars.

I had a white '88 QV Sprint, built 85. Put many 100's kay's on it, all flat out.
(also in Canberra, donated to to Autotech after the chassis rails split and I moved to London).

I loved that car to pieces (literally).
Perhaps one of you has resurrected it 8)

This thread is useless without pics.

Looks like a fun project, is that one of the ones from Qld?
Let me know when you need parts, I have a parts car stripped in the shed.
Happy to help out a fellow nutter, sorry enthusiast.

Next time I'm up Canberra way I'll get in touch, would be great to have a chat and a beer and talk Alfa for a while.

Is it as you expected? Much work to do?

Looks really good actually... the advantage of the big vinyl stickers is they have protected a lot of paint... need some new front seats though. ... do you have any in your stash??

Hey Ross,

Sorry, unregistered at the moment.
Need to organise an inspection and then the historic plates/rego.
I'm Northside (Holt) and happy for you to come and check out my car if you like.
