We saw this in the car park of Queen Alexandra hospital this morning whilst on one of my many visits. I didn't know what it was until I took a closer look. Do you know what it is?
Do you know what it is yet?

Some sort of classic Honda?

Nope it's an alfa spider innit?
It's a 3rd gen. 1983's Alfa Romeo Duetto spider (aerodinamica)
come on, folks...
come on, folks...
Yeah looks like an alfa was it made recently cant see much rust 
was it made recently cant see much rust 
Defo South European design
Didn't last long 18 minutes I'll have to do better next time! It was 'B' prefix so I make that 1984 with no rust. Must have had a sheltered life.
I won!
Go to the top of the class (or list)I won!
They ruined the pretty Alfa in the same way MG ruined the 'B' and Midget, by sticking extra rubber bits on each end, awful!
Or the WC if that got you sooo excited!!! JIM
They had to do that to get sales in the USA as it was a government requirement.
You can convert the MG's back to chrome bumpers though, lot of owners in the UK and over here do that.
The thing is finding them over here Mike. There weren't enough MG's sold here that there are a lot of donor cars around!! JIM
Think these days you can get them made up new.
Know a little bit about older cars, as from my late teens to the mid 90's I used to read Thoroughbred & Classic Cars mag and had quite a collection but stopped buying them when they just got stupidly expensive over here.
Do you still have them @HT? I've got hot rod and Rod and Custom going back to the early fifties along with many miscellaneous mags along with about 50-60 service books. They'll become the library section in my shop this summer for when we're sitting around brainstorming!! JIM
No, lost the lot when I stored them in a cellar that got flooded....
They go for good money as well these days on the likes of Fleabay and such....
Talking about a complete collection, every month, from the late 70's to the mid 90's......
