Proud new owner of a 1984 South African 3litre

Post by dawie botha »

This is my first Alfa and a car i have always wanted to own when i first saw one parked in Schoeman str Pretoria in 1985.It has 78000 authenticated km on the odo and close to origional.Even got a compomotive in the trunk .Still needs a lot of cleaning up and some origional parts.I could not believe how fast the car is for its age,it blew me away!I am not mechanicaly minded so has a lot to learn about fixing up the car.will post photos once i,ve figured out how to post it.

Welcome to forum Dawie , that's an excellent find :!: there is so much info on the forum here and with the suppliers list of parts etc I sent you , you will have happy Gtv motoring :D
How about some pics of the front as well . You can add them to this link . Just use "post reply".
I bet the whole town will come out in Tzaneen to see your GTV :shock: - just keep an eye on those comp rims
