After years of lusting after these cars I have finally picked this new 105 ( literally new ) on Saturday. Thanks to Sasha  Nackovski for sellling me his baby and as you can see the craftmanship with the 10 yr restoration was first class ( hundreds of photos to back it up ) No corners were cut on this restoration and I look forward to seeing you at future Alfa Owners days.  Let me know your thougths as I promised Sasha I would post his baby on this forum.

Cheers
JJ

Very nice car mate, I've always liked silver, and that interior looks awesome, do you know who did the seats?
72' 105 2000 GTV Red (tarmac rally/race car)
74' 105 2000 GTV Blue (road car)
68' 105 1600 Giulia Super White (Not sure yet)
01' Nissan Pathfinder (Tow car/Alfa support vehicle)

Thanks for the comments, will not be racing this one, but may do some timed events etc and some cruising and weekend blasts but no track racing as it's too good for that. Engine is mild in it's customisations so mainly stock but she sounds very meaty and bubbles along nicely as the chassis bubbles a tad at idle.

Interior is first class, Sash has a friend who did the work, he specialises in trimming classic cars and has done Alfas in the past. will get details and post. Sash if your reading this you may want to post your mates details. ?

Sash was a little critical on my choice of photos so here are some additional ones. These restorers are so tempremental....

Enjoy.

No green was the original colour but that was stripped back to bare metal and the silver went on. Much prefer the silver as it does off set the chrome really well and makes it look more uniform. Plus not many silver ones around.

Hey JJ,

Great looking car, definately at the top of my wish list and looks like you have a great example. Also looks really good in silver.

Im sure you will enjoy ever part of your mid life crisis.

Cheers
Mile.

Beautiful GTV JJ, well done, like the silver dont see many in this colour, do you like the clear front indicators? probably the only thing id change maybe. Hell if this is the result of a mid life crisis then bring it on I say.
