One very lucky guy…..must have done something right in a previous life……and most likely this one as well!!!

Obviously the 8C is a stunning car but i can’t help thinking all they’ve done is take the best parts of the TZ2 (front) and Tipo33 (rear) and modernise it. I.e regulation light height / size / etc
Ferrari don’t just take the rear of a P4/330 and front of a 250LM and computer generate a contemporary replacement..or Porsche blend the 906 front with the 904GTS rear .i’m sure they would look good though.
I love Alfa’s – my parents own 3 currently and I had a Alfasud 1.7TI GreenCloverleaf Sprint before i become a Lotus man.
So its a not a gang up on Alfa society i’m representing, just to point out that its amazing how the current darling of the motoring scribes is a rehash of 2 cars nearly half a century old!!
Any comments greatfully received on my ideas if you think i’m a bit off the pace.

Phil.

Although the return of Alfa Romeo is good news, I hope the build quality is on the same level as any GM, Ford, Honda, or even a Hyundai. I loved my 164L until it went the Alfa mechanic semi-weekly, and drained my credit card. Even after my experience, I still think I will own another Alfa on day, maybe a Spider.
