I saw a nice red 1750 berlina wizz past me in Brunswick east last week on tuesday 11th may. Any one know who it belongs too. I too have a berlina and it is the first one I have seen on the road for years apart from mine. Love to catch up for a chat if you are local.
cheers

Hi Tony, now while I live in Tassie, I do recall going to a AROCA display day some years ago in Melbourne and seeing (and photographing) a red 1750 Berlina (restored) next to a restored 2L, and a restored metallic blue 2L and seeing a white one also parked elsewhere at the display.

Whose car the 1750 was i have no idea, but it was superb.  Could be the same car ??   Dave

could be Dave.
By the way Dave when I lived in Hobart in the late 80's I bought the front end (litterally the two front mudguards, cross members and front wheels/suspension) of a red Guilia 1300 from someone in West Hobart I think that I spotted in their front yard. I seem to remember the person or a relative had some involvment with continental cars. Could it have been you?
cheers

I purchased a red 1750 Berlina on Wednesday. It's in pretty good original condition. Hoping to drive it to Historic Winton on Sunday. Have a look in the car park.

Hi Tony, close but no, but my brother Graham (aka Mugga) has the front section complete at his home up at Ferntree.   He is keeping it as spares for his own red 1300 ti or alternatively the 1600 Ti he has (restoration project).  Cheers Dave

Roger,

Well done on the purchase...like the look of the 1750 Berlinas......best console setup I reckon...


Throw up some pics when you get a chance ....always good to look at Alfa's lovely sedans.

Cheers,

Paul.

Paul,

Here are a few shots taken by the previous owner. It seems to be a good runner and is very complete.

Nice car Roger - one of the most underrated of all Alfa's.
