Alfa Romeo Sprint anyone?

[Kwstis]

Hello everyone,
I am in search of an Alfa Romeo Sprint to be used in a photo shoot. The photograph is part of series of 70s / 80s b-movie aesthetic tableaux vivant type of images I am producing for the last year and they are purely for artistic reason - not for advertising purposes. The shoot will be on Sunday, 4th September at Limassol port and I will be very grateful if any sprint owner is willing to provide his / her car for a few hours for this cause.
For more details please do not hesitate to ask or come private for more information
Thanks in advance
Constantinos

PM sent !
Pavlos might be interested as well if its for a stock Sprint in perfect condition and I also PM'd you about my cousin who has a red Sprint in Limassol, next to the port.
If you are interested in other models as well, we might be able to hook you up with an Alfasud Ti - year 1984 or an Alfa GTV-6 from 1982.
The Sud is mine and its got a bit of work needed around the front windshield area. The GTV-6 is a STUNNER, but not the original colour or wheels.
Let me find some pictures and post them here

Got some pictures

First picture of the orange GTV-6 is Mario's car. Zender original kit, stock engine, stock interior, aftermarket 8c replica wheels and of course ... the colour

Second picture of the red Sprint is Elladios's car from Limassol. 1.7ltr engine instead of a 1.5, the front end is actually not the good side. The front bonnet could do with a respray as well as the top of the car. The whole rear end is painted though. This is how it looks now.
The car was given to me from Pavlos, I did the welding and part restoration and gave it to Elladios a few months ago.

Third picture is of my black Sud Ti. The wheels are not the stock wheels, but they are from that era. After that picture was taken the car has a new freshly painted front bonnet. Although it doesnt show in the picture, the previous bonnet had some rust issues. This car still has a few rust spots, especially where the front windshield is, but if its not for a close up picture, I think it might do.

Fourth picture is what my white Sprint looks like today ! I took it apart this month for a complete restoration and over there it was on its way for storage to a friends shop. Today I took it to another friends house next to Mario's paint shop, so we can start working on it on Monday.

Sorry, I havent got a picture of Pavlos's Sprint. I dont know if he is interested either.
Let me know which of these cars you are interested in, and I'll make some calls

Have PMed Kwstis that the date is not good for me as I will be coming back from abroad. If the date could be changed, then we could arrange fr my Sprint or Sud TI or 1.3SC (the red one)

Just out of curiosity. What is this movie about?

[Kwstis]

God! Facing problems with the pm - don't know if you got my previous msgs - in any case trying to send them again - Chris, i am more than happy with Marios orange GTV6 or Eladios red sprint from what i can see in the photos - my number is 99719169 and my email is constantinos_Taliotis@yahoo.co.uk - i guess it's easier to sort things out on the phone so please call me any time soon to arrange it
Pavlos thanks a lot for your kind respond but unfortunately it is almost impossible to change the date since a lot people, equipment and permissions have been booked and issued for that date which makes it extremely difficult to alter it - nevertheless i greatly appreciate your kind interest

It is not a movie per se but a photo that simulates b-movie like scenes / they are more like cinematic tablaeux vivants - this particular one is a hostage scenario scene where a woman is abducted by a guy on a yamaha XT500 and the woman's gangster friends block his a way - so the image will be this still moment of the two opposing gangs ready to kill each other and a mediator approaching the yamaha guy in order to exchange the woman for a vhs tape -

[Pavlos Pavlides]

No problem Constantine. Hope yu get great pictures. Both cars are very good cars. If possible post some on this thread.

[Supercharged16v]

The job is done !
Nice meeting you Costantinos, and your other co-workers.

I hope you dont mind, I will post a few pictures of the Sprint and of the place you were setting up your equipment for the shooting.

Will be waiting for your pro pictures when you have them

[Supercharged16v]

Dostou fai tou kipreou tse en mesa sto apse svise.

thanks for the support! i really appreciate it!

i see you know about my shop? yes it used to be there in drosha but its been a year now that weve moved underneath my dads house. its right behind the 'ken larnakos' near the new hospital. youre all welcome to come. doors are always open for good friends

Guys I personally recommend both the lahmacun and the koupes. The shop was introduced to me by a good friend who leaves near your old shop and used to have a Alfa33. When you open the new shop just let us know. In which area do you plan to open it?

[Shant Ole]

In which area do you plan to open it?[/QUOTE]

we already rented the shop. its in 'prodromou' behind the proedriko where the post office is. next to the post office theres a army base the shop is right opposite the base. they used to sell electrical stuff in that shop before we rented it. we reckon that we need approximately a month to open it but ill let you know for sure when we do!

Perfect, I pass Prodromou more than twice daily as I leave near Ayia Sofia church. Chris' (supercharged16v) house is also very close.

Ante kai me to kalo.
