Title: Alfaholics 105 1969 series 1 *** SOLD ***
Post by: monoman on September 03, 2010, 10:45:38 PM
*** SOLD ***

Friends,

Regretfully, I must sell my beautiful little 105 to help fund a return to work.  Suspension designed with input from Max Banks.  Spent over $7,000 on Alfaholics parts.

This car steers better than anything I've ever driven.  Extremely precise turn-in.  Absolutely zero bump steer.  You can take your hands of the wheel on bumpy roads and the wheel doesn't jiggle at all.  Naturally, the ride is firm, but far from uncomfortable.  I have 2 prolapsed disc which have kept me off work for a year an half, and have no issues with the suspension.

Beautiful 1750 series one interior, with bat-wing, basket-weave seats.  Woodwork redone in dark walnut burl.  Fitted with a fire extinguisher, Sony CD, electric aerial, and immobiliser.    

Includes original suspension in good working order.  4 original steel wheels with correct hubcaps, and fitted with good tyres.  Original wooden steering wheel also included.

No dreamers.  No joyrides.

Hi,

Did the overseas interest come through this website, or is it advertised elsewhere?, BTW stunning looking car.

Thanks. Agreed, this is a beautiful car. Tis a shame they are not valued more in this condition in Australia. Everybody wants them for project car prices.

Yes.  But they'll only make that mistake once.
