Any Alfisti out there?

Look at THIS and drool!

That is indeed a beautiful car; many thanks for pointing us to it. However, since I don't think it had a motorsport career (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!), I reckon this thread is ideal for our new Classic Car Forum, which is where I'm going to put it!

Thanks! I needed that!

It was Bertone's attempt at making a civilised road car out of Zagato's competition-oriented TZ.

Let's hope thebear returns to repost the link; my 'Googling' has not found it.

Thanks, Dave, it certainly had plenty of echoes of the TZ2.

Link seems ok now

(Dribble, dribble....)

**John Turner** · 10 Mar 2006, 20:16 (Ref:1543158)

Sadly, not for me, however!

johnh875 · 12 Mar 2006, 06:47 (Ref:1544153)

Ditto, did work before but not now.

Nice car though, although I prefer the TZ2.

Perhaps you might be interested in an overpriced '52 Disco Volante of `suspect parentage'?

**John Turner** · 20 Apr 2006, 11:10 (Ref:1589586)

Now that really is interesting; either it is a 'discovery' or an amazing replica. That would surely be an incredibly difficult body to replicate and very expensive to do I would guess.

I would imagine that "Bobcor" (one of the bidders) knows the `story'. They are an old time ALFA race/repar/sales organization.

I am leaning towards `original'.

**John Turner** · 20 Apr 2006, 13:15 (Ref:1589713)

Yes, somehow it 'feels' right to me too; can't put my finger on why, though! Be interesting to see what it goes for.

**John Turner** · 20 Apr 2006, 13:21 (Ref:1589715)

However, the seller has added a note that he accepts that it could well be a recreation, in which case you have to question the veracity of the Vin no. (nothing new there then!). Still, a nice thing to have if recreated from period components.

Another look at the Canguro with a stable link. be sure to follow the additional link at the bottom of the page.

**John Turner** · 20 Apr 2006, 14:29 (Ref:1589740)

Ah, got it; great!

johnh875 · 24 Apr 2006, 08:27 (Ref:1593504)

The Canguro is great, it was interesting to see the comparison with the TZ2 as I have seen one of those in the flesh, the Canguro must be very low indeed.

They both look like the 8C Competizione concept car - I wish they had put that into production

thebear · 4 May 2006, 01:06 (Ref:1600404)

For those in the Bristol area.

More links to follow.

Bristol, a link with (thumbnail) pictures. Click to enlarge.

Anybody notice the interloper - a Jowett Jupiter? (But with Farina bodywork!)

I had to look (at the thumbnails) a few times before I spotted it, at first glance I thought it was an Aurelia GT. The difference is easy to see in the larger photo, it looks quite good but not as "together" as a production car. Coincidentally I saw a Jupiter (with original body) at a show over here last weekend.

Anybody seen the Brea? Click HERE ?

I love the way Italians go stark raving insane over hot cars.

thebear · 27 Jun 2006, 17:34 (Ref:1642772)

Too bad ir's not RED!
