This is what a car should be to a family! An heirloom! Something with sentimental value, something that is loved and cared for, not just .. owned and used.
I owned a 1978 Nicki Lauda edition and it was an expensive pain in the ass, but It was the most fun to drive of all the different cars I've owned in the last 40 years. Only Alfa owners know what I am talking about. BTW, Nice Spider!!!
The song is great and very typical for romantic and funny Alfa Duetto, John the new design creation is great, your car need a new battery or sistem of charge is poor and an inspection for eletric starter inspec. to brushes and bushs it will make a lot difference also maybe the contact of distribuition need replace or out of ignition point . I like your car congratulatíons per service of restauration. I have one Duetto in Brazil and since 1979 I married with her and am very field, kkkkk
I owned a pristine 69 spider for 40÷ years. Finally sold to make garage space for my ALFA 4C LE coupe. Wish I was able to keep both. I wouldn't have modified mine like this but to each their own. ALFAs have always been special...works of art.
This video made my day. Great job on the car. It’s gorgeous and perfect. I used to envy Benjamin Braddock. (reference: The Graduate) Now I envy this guy!
Hey, wasn’t the ‘new’ Fiat 124 proposed to have that body?? Absolutely Beautiful looking car, whatever engine it has. “Sweet”!! Wish we had that in the UK..
Hello, here Peter from the netherlands. I very love the front lookings of the car. Have you made the below piece ( so without bumper and the grille beautiful intergraded!) by yourself or is that piece available somewhere? Greetz Peter
I had a 1969 Alfa Spider, same color as yours, metallic silver with Burgandy canvas top, Turbina wheels, black interior, 1750cc. It was faster then a 2 liter.
Yes, the later 2 liter (1962cc) was just a "commercial" idea to compete in the 2-liter "European" business. The result was an engine with same power but a little less "verve".
Why do Americans always insist on playing that 'Neapolitan' folk music on anything regarding Italy? That car was designed and manufactured in Northern Italy! Not in Naples!
@@Maloenton-Agency No, he just bought ALFA (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili) in Milano and renamed it Alfa Romeo. And the company always was in Milano, so Romeo's origin is irrelevant. Anyway, playing Neapolitan trad music for any Italian car is like playing bagpipes for any British car.
@@Maloenton-Agency The fact that ALFA was originally the Italian Darracq in Napoli doesn't mean it is a Neapolitan marque. Nicola Romeo bought it when already re-founded in Milano and NOBODY in Italy ever considered it anything else than a Milanese marque. As you can read from its history, the company shifted to Milano in 1906 and virtually closed in 1909. Then, ALFA was actually founded in 1910 as a brand new company only using the old company's hardware. Just look at Alfa Romeo's logo. Do you know what it is? It's the red-white emblem of Milano together with the mythical "biscione" (big snake), emblem of the Visconti, rulers of Milano in XIII-XV century. Please do not use that ultra-thin prehistoric connection with Napoli to justify the fact that EVERY stupid non-Italian program uses "pizza music" every time there is something Italian. I Remember Wheeler Dealers using "pizza music" when dealing with a Fiat 500 and with a Fiat Dino. Only (ignorant) foreign tourists consider that music "Italian" and not just Neapolitan and surely you can hear it in Italy... only in places aiming at mass tourism
So sick guys! i am starting my own channel with my shop and i am aspiring to put out great content as you always do! keep up the good work and happy new year!
Ascender2306 nor are the modifications done poor thing would be worth a nice chunk of change if he spent as much as money doing it the correct way than modifying it.
Beautiful looking Alfa but the owner did not look right in it ?? Just my opinion but the strip over the car and the badge have given me a idea for my 916 spider so thank you
a car made in Milan with an old Neapolitan song, is like associating the statue of liberty with country songs, or the grand canyon with rap music,a Hawaiian ukulele for Lake Michigan etc etc.
@@Maloenton-Agency Nicola Romeo just bought ALFA and renamed it Alfa Romeo. And it already was a Milanese company. Therefore, no Neapolitan connection.

I owned one 68 duetto since 1979 and I know this car to much , I make all service necessary of maintenance in my home is very simple mechanich and have in market all informations and manualss disposable include in Internet you can down manual and tolerances, measurements, part numbers of parts and the better quanty of store with New and used parts for salé, Alfas are the Champions tô olds and new parts for salé.
Well, apart from the bad paintjob, and the LED-stuff in the front: a really nice car, and I never considered the colour silver/grey to look good on an Alfa Romeo. But the decals fit perfectly.
nice, honest, white guy. I will also never sell my white one. Going arroond the corners with this car means, You have a right turn on the steering wheel a street that does a left turn.. The car is like a kart.
This is what a car should be to a family! An heirloom! Something with sentimental value, something that is loved and cared for, not just .. owned and used.
This is what it means to love a car, to be a car enthusiast. That smile!
What a beautiful car. Love it.
Impressive! Thank you from an Italian Boy that love Alfa Romeo❤🇮🇹🐍
That IS a piece of art. Right answer BTW. Don’t ever sell that car, beautiful

BTW, Nice Spider!!!
True Alfisti. Thanx for posting.
Simple pleasures of life. No price tag on that.
this guy found his heaven with this car! hope we all do somehow...
Wow what a gorgeous spider! yes, she is a work of art
Big guy in a little car 🎶😁
That is a very fine looking car indeed.
masterclass in pure class
Amazing beautiful car

This needs a much longer video!
Sweet little Alfa! Thanks for sharing!

My first car! Cost £3000 in 2002. Was amazing 10% of the time, the rest was..... worth it though!

Hey, wasn’t the ‘new’ Fiat 124 proposed to have that body?? Absolutely Beautiful looking car, whatever engine it has. “Sweet”!! Wish we had that in the UK..
I like this guy. He's a cool dude. Awesome car.
it wouldn't have been a real alfa if it started right away
Old Chinese proverb - if there's no oil under Alfa, than there's no oil in it !
Mine never does. ;)
thijs2411 no it would've been a real Alfa if it started right away. Or the owner just neglects to maintain the car.
Have you actually owned one? Not my experience at all.
@@halloeffect Have you owned one? Neither of mine have leaked a drop. My Landrover on the other hand.....
Beautiful Car!
Beauty
I had an early 60s Giulia...I loved its burbling power...
Very nicely done.
Italians kill you for this
Agreed, a piece of art!
With a tuned suspension,, and sticky tires,, these make great scca slalom cars!
great man, great car and great video. Thank you. Greetings from France. And forza Alfa!
super clean, super nice !

I own a few alfa s and I can not imagine selling them aswell!
Not a true Petrolhead until you own an Alfa
it looks great
Bravo , i love european cars , the design. Its art 👍
The tires are not right , has to be 145
I hope it never rains where he lives. Removing the roof option is crazy.
I LOVE THE CAR! Not enuf information though...
What? you need the paint codes?
perfect alfa!
It ain't an Alfa Romeo. It's an Elfa Romero!

Why do Americans always insist on playing that 'Neapolitan' folk music on anything regarding Italy? That car was designed and manufactured in Northern Italy! Not in Naples!
It's stock music. La Traviata would have cost 100 times the production budget.
Because Napoli is part of Italy

Awesome car.. too bad we didn't get to hear it run.. and Rev a few
Eduardo Silva I concur. I was waiting and waiting
For the love of Alfas
A shop near me has a bunch of 70s and 80s Alfa Spider Veloces
Those rear bumpers... that's the second time I seen those, but it was on a 70s Fiat spider...where they from?
So sick guys! i am starting my own channel with my shop and i am aspiring to put out great content as you always do! keep up the good work and happy new year!
Stunning!!!! Is it me, or are the doors a different colour??
Yes, and the paint by the side emblems and quite orange peely.
Yeah, the paintjob is not the best.
Ascender2306 nor are the modifications done poor thing would be worth a nice chunk of change if he spent as much as money doing it the correct way than modifying it.
What a great job you did with this one. But you look like a big guy. How do you fit into it?
Itz a beauty
Not a big fan of how u ruined a rare duetto boat tail. But i respect any alfa owner that loves his car.
Nice
Beautiful looking Alfa but the owner did not look right in it ?? Just my opinion but the strip over the car and the badge have given me a idea for my 916 spider so thank you
Guys… SHOW THE CAR! People don’t watch these videos to see some guy talking.
Every second of this video SHOULD BE beautiful shots of the car.
I absolutely HATE Alfa's but this particular one looks pretty damn nice.
You should look up the T33 Stradale and Giulia TZ1, then. (Also the old, pre-war 8C and 6C).
Thank you, this video is real ideal! 🌷🙏🌷 S. U. P. E. R. 🌷🌷🌹🌸❤🌷🌹🌸🌼💐

What do Americans know about anything, they even think Belgium (where I live) lies in Brussels! Lol
Italian music for an Italian car. How sad are you, really.
@@Maloenton-Agency Nicola Romeo just bought ALFA and renamed it Alfa Romeo. And it already was a Milanese company. Therefore, no Neapolitan connection.
@@crs290 You don't get the point. That's not Italian music, it's Neapolitan music. We do NOT consider LOCAL music = national music.

It’s a dead ringer for a triumph spitfire with a Hollywood pedigree..
Bloody close call at 04:05 *O_O*
driveeeeee!!!
Reminds me of a flounder fish
I had a 76 spider and loved the car but it was to far gone to restore.
The car was built in Milan ... the sound has nothing to to with it - coming from deep at that time rural south
I owned one 68 duetto since 1979 and I know this car to much , I make all service necessary of maintenance in my home is very simple mechanich and have in market all informations and manualss disposable include in Internet you can down manual and tolerances, measurements, part numbers of parts and the better quanty of store with New and used parts for salé, Alfas are the Champions tô olds and new parts for salé.
he's bigger than the car..hilarious
Next time I play 'sweet home Alabama' for a muscle car built in Detroit. American ignorance...
So...an American song for an American car. Quit being pedantic.
What color is the car?
No door handles? of they just shaved?
Looks like Austin.
the led halos are horrible ... 😢
Well, apart from the bad paintjob, and the LED-stuff in the front: a really nice car, and I never considered the colour silver/grey to look good on an Alfa Romeo. But the decals fit perfectly.
you know batteries only cost $50. right?
nice, honest, white guy. I will also never sell my white one. Going arroond the corners with this car means, You have a right turn on the steering wheel a street that does a left turn.. The car is like a kart.
Shame he couldn't keep it original. - just goes to show how rare original cars are and why they are so valuable.
How to ruin an Osso di Seppia with senseless modifications and italian flag stripe. No hate towards this guy at all, but...a ruined Alfa Romeo.
Jacopo Villa ur mum
mama mia
Need change of Dynamo per one alternator, and finish yours problems of poor start
Until she realized How much you are worth, typical golddiggers.
Please, our flag is green on the left.... The flag on the car isn't our flag... It's important... Thanks
I think you're supposed to look at it from the driver's POV, so the green would be on the left.
@@crs290 Really? LOL
GQ ALFA orig Duetto single hoop roll bar Oakland/Berkeley copy cats hump to equal my hoop . Alfa culture was I for 30 years. Good luck.
Thumb down for the songs.
Everything has its price....and for the right price everything gets sold. Sad but true.
uh not true. Im sure most parents wouldn't sell their children, for any amount of money.
+04dram04 that's why I say everything...not everyone.
PININ MADE IT NOT ALFA ROMEO
Ruined...
Fixed...
Great video - awful music
