Thank you! We definitely had to do some mechanicals on the car when purchased it. But it's been rock solid for a year and a half and approx 2500 miles! We certainly treasure our good fortune every time we walk into the garage!
Hi Tony, well spotted! You are correct. However, this little baby sat on Carl Block's showroom floor until Feb. 20th, 1970, when the original owner purchased it. So even though it was registered as a 1969, California had made the switch out to blue plates by then! Very typical of Alfa's, Ferrari's and the like back in the day. Can you imagine trying to run a business like that today? BTW - He paid the equivalent of $30,208 in today's money. I'd pay $30k today for this car brand new!

Hi Bruce! It was worked on by Bob Wandell of Import Doctors in San Ramon. I love Glenn Olivera but haven’t needed any professional services yet since we acquired a year and a half ago. What do you have?
Great little car. Owned a 73' Spider 2 liter. Mechanically fragile, but easy to work on. Treasure your Alfa. Viva Alfa Romeo!

What a beautiful car and thanks for sharing the video. It's a privilege to own one of these classics. I'm so jealous
Why thank you! We fully appreciate the privilege, we took it on a nice run this morning. 🙏🏼
Beautiful. I have a Series 4 Spider.
Very well done, gotta love an alfa!
Chasing The Apex thank you so much! More Italians coming for the virtual concours this show season!
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
Beautiful! Curious about the CA blue plate. The original plate would've been black.
