Our tax exempt limit is an age of 25 years. I hope GB government does make an effort not to stick it to 1972 only?!!!  |

A great advert for classic car ownership!
Hi Ono, great Alfa you've got there. Mine is as stubborn as yours, never letting me down 
But why do you guys call yours Bertie? What does that stand for? Fluffy has the same name for his.... |

The car was designed by Bertone and "Bertie" is a commonly used pet name. (In English, "Bert" or "Bertie" is a short form of the name "Albert".) |

If you can call skinning your knuckles, swearing a lot and freezing your bits off in the garage "engineering", then - yes.

So was ours, until the government reliased how much money they'd lose! So now the limit is 1972, everything before is ok.

Re: Where are the Classic drivers?????
ONO, where are the pics ?
These have been on here before, but just a recap.....
BTW, I classify my Sud as a classic, their collectability is definitely rising.

She's treated to a drive 3-4 times per week and I'm sure that helps with the mechanicals.
I've also got a good cover, which I put on whenever possible and the car had a full restoration about 10 years ago so at least its not relying on its factory rust protection.
But to be honest I don't have much choice Joost. To rent a garage in my part of London would cost between £1K to £3K per year. I would rather spend that on a light restoration every few years.
