"Great, nice to hear that you will cross the big blue Atlantic. I am going to Cape North with my Veloce Duetto group from italy to the very North of the globe. We start on June 16 and won't be back until July. If you are around maybe we can meet.…"

"Kul att du åsse blev medlem. Det verkar mest vara folk från USA med finfina racers och några andra. Inte specifikt alfa bara, men de åker till euorpa ibland. Kanske kunde man köra lite ihop med dem, en träff tillsammans vore skoj. Jag har några…"

"Yepp, I'll do ASAP, I'm with my laptop at the moment but I have some photos and videos on my other computer. I'll share them when I'm back home.

Cordially Wille R."

Hello Willie: I know you (or at least feel I do ) from your many informative posts on the alfabb site. I love your website as well. So, it is truly not a duetto, as it is a 1969, w 1750 spica. I bought it a few mos ago from a gentleman who thus far had spent 6 yrs restoring it. He works real slow, but has done all the rust repair and has it in a primer coat. He tired at the pace ( I think his wife helped him to the decision to sell). So, right now it needs a few touches of body work and paint. The engine runs, but I think it will need a rebuild. I will do this myself . I been pondering to rebuild as a 1750 or 2000. I also have a set of dell'ortos and I will have the tranny rebuilt and lightened. I did this to the 74 spider tranny by a local expert and it is perfect w no grinding even w aggressive downshifting. I'm not worried about changing the originality of the car, as resale is not an option. This will be my permanent weekend cruise car. In sunny California, I have ample opportunity to drive with the wind in my hair. (fortunately, my wife loves to as well) I'd love to drive around Europe in a vintage alfa as well, maybe there will be rentals soon. We will be visiting germant/swiz/italy in late July/ early Aug this summer, but will be back in time for the Concorso Italiano in Monterey ,California. This is the auto highlight of the year for us. I hope to have the 69 running by end of the year, but w the 74 available, I'm in no particular hurry. Thanks for the post. Ken
