alfas

So I occasionally look at dashcam footage and sometimes see an Alfa in the midst of the action ( or even parked at the side of the road ). It isn't very often that an Alfa features ( unlike some other brands ) so I thought a thread to highlight them may be entertaining. I recall an Australian...

So in touch are the American bit of FCA they have just launched a 1000horsepower engine.. https://www.todaysmotorvehicles.com/article/fca-hellephant-hemi-engine-sema-110118/

A friend told me yesterday this engine is shared with the Mercedes engine as they both have the same cc 2143. Is this correct as i thought alfa made their own engines?

Why doesn't Alfa offer any cars in yellow? I thought it was the colour of Modena and yet only Lamborghini and Ferrari offer the colour? Maybe I answered my own question but it does seem odd that there are no Fiat/Alfa options?

I am keen to upgrade the fog lights on my 147. Does anyone have experience with these Sumex Yellow ALFAS 2800K 85W bulbs or Sumex bulbs more generally? The ALFAS in the name is purely coincidental, BTW...

Hi all, just wanted to give a heads up for a live fraudulent advertiser on ebay, seller kej999 who is currently supposedly selling various Alfas on ebay e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALFA-ROMEO-2000-SPIDER-VELOCE/163368392063?hash=item260983d57f:g:59YAAOSwXKtb6J9a:rk:1:pf:0 If you look at...

Not in my experience.... A quarter of a million miles and still returning mid to high 50s on the daily commute (it was reading over 57mpg before I drove round the block five times to get it to hit 250,000) One in the face for Germanic reliability....

Interesting selection this month 71 Berlina 70 Giulia Ti Two Giuletta Sprints and a Nord 1600 engine plus lots of other interesting stuff, should be a good day of tyre kicking...

Hi I have just joined the Club and have a 2003 Alfa 156 in red. She just passed her MOT with no advisories for the 2nd year running, so I intend to keep her as long as possible. I did over 3000 miles in France, Italy and Austria last year and she ran faultlessly and I have since fitted a new...

Just got back from a holiday in Rhodes, and noticed there were an awful lot of 147s there, but not much else. Totals were: Hundreds of 147s - outnumbered almost every other car type! 1 x 156 1 x 70s Nuovo-Giulietta in someone's back garden, which had somehow managed to rust badly despite the...

24 Years between Alfas! GTV 2.0 to 2018 Giulia Veloce & Stelvio - Melbourne Australia Well, my first car was a '79 Alfa GTV 2.0 that I loved more than anything. I adored the brand and drove it with pride. Like a lot of us I suspect, the years ticked over and the Alfa brand went into...

Well almost, there seems to be two Giulias on the ground, a Stelvio being loaded on and a Jeep onboard. No wonder they can't find all the missing Alfas at the port... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/business-44863988/business-booming-for-giant-cargo-planes

Am buying a new QF - which I believe comes with 3 year no mileage warranty including breakdown cover? I was just wondering if anyone has had to use their breakdown cover yet.... and if so, who is it provided by? Is it Europe wide cover? I was wondering because for about a £200 per annum...

So, with the Giulia Veloce only being weeks old I chose to drive from Leicester to London for last night’s Morrissey gig, a chance for a good long drive in it. On a Friday. During the evening rush hour. Anyway, to cut a long story short it took 3 hours to get to Newport Pagnell where we...

No more Alfa diesels Or any other FCA diesel for that matter! Quite surprised at how quickly. MILAN -- Fiat Chrysler Automobiles plans to eliminate diesel from all its passenger vehicles by 2022, amid a collapse in demand and spiraling costs, the Financial Times reported. Under a four-year...

Hi All I'm Adam, I recently purchased a 159 3.2 Q4, 62K on the clock and in almost spotless condition. Will try and get some pics up (if that's allowed) Decided to bite the bullet and get an Alfa, as everyone always says your not a true petrol head until having one, so that's a tick on the...

Lads, I have been an alfa fan for years now and own a few, the alfa sud has always been my favourite car, however I took a drive in a friends Prius and even I have to admit that the comfort, quietness and admiring glances from the ladies have made me re-think my car. I never thought I would...

Hi Guys My edit of the 2017 Pasta Run featuring some wonderful pre-war Alfa's, pretty much most era's of GTV/GT, a Ferrari F40, a La Ferrari, and a whole heap of us getting very lost. I'm so proud of my little $3K GTV for running alongside such wonderful machines. Enjoy and please post on...

Hi, I have two gorgeous Alfas for sale. Project cars. A '78 Alfetta and a '79 Sei. I really need to find them new homes since I'll be moving soon. From what I can tell, they're pretty rare. I'm in NJ and they're ready to pick up. PLEEEAAASSSEEE if you are or anyone you know is interested in a...

Hi, Thought it was about time I introduced myself. My name is Jim and after almost 30 years of Ford, Triumph and VW restoration I felt it was about time that I bought a proper car. She's a 98 GTV 3.0 and makes me drool every time I go in the garage. I have owned it a couple of months now. Drove...
