What the devil is THIS ??

1977 ALFA ROMEO MILANO SPIDER CONVERTIBLE on eBay, also, Alfa Romeo, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 29-Jun-08 19:16:54 BST)

Never seen anything like this - any one else know the background on these cars ??? Never heard of them...

Seems like a kitcar.

Looks like an Alfetta GTV cabriolet made by British Leyland........

ive seen a couple of these in the flesh and they are shoddy as hell, i think its a kitcar based on the old GTV, take one perfectly good gtv and chop the roof off, ruin the front end with some fibreglass and hey presto one alfa romeo skip

Yup, it looks like the tree did us all a favour.

However, it is already on a trailer so that cuts out the middle man and he says that he is willing to drive it to the ferry. So whoever buys it can just shove it into the sea.

This was pretty common for the seventies - take one standard production car, which has had the benefit of millions of pounds worth of development and testing, rip it to pieces and clothe the running gear in an ugly party dress made of GRP. They could have made this a lot prettier, by keeping some semblance of Alfa identity at the front.
There were some really good kit cars in the seventies and eighties though. One which stands out, was a Ferrari P4 replica by Noble, which made use of a Renault twin turbocharged V6, and was finished to a very high standard.

Sorry but the sellers username says it all - bigdogsdinner

Designed by the same guy who did the Triumph TR7 I bet!
The rear end looks OK but I dunno about the front.

Don't buy it, just arrange to view it then launch it with a big bottle of champagne.

Conclusive proof that Alfisti trees exist.

Back end looks a little like the old Fiat 124 Spider.

Very true. I've seen one close up with the roof down and it was shockingly bad. And that was a good one!

What an utter shed, that isn't worth anything even for scrap.

looks crap

It even gives sheds a bad name....
