Nice Red +2 @ Mill Race Garden Centre today

PostPost by: Jason1 » Sun Jul 31, 2011 1:34 pm

A few pics of a nice +2 at a local garden centre 'Classic car event' today. In great condition but I am a bit puzzled by the lack of external boot lock a late door locks? Its an early chassis number but has late features? A nice well kept car and I love the roof (I am seriously thinking of cutting my roof).

Rich this is an earlier chassis number than yours.

I guess that it's been re-shelled at some stage, or it's a later car with some earlier bits...and ID !! I can't imagine that someone would want to 'upgrade' their early car by putting on the later door handles and boot lock!

How early, Jason? Early enough to have the Carello lights and chrome screen surround?

Hi Mark

No not that early it was built May 1968

I think the Alfa rear light stopped at November 67 and the newer door locks at the start of September 68 so it should have the early door locks.

The colour is very fitting of it's chassis number 666 :twisted:

It was also at Donnington on Saturday.
