I'm at the end of my tether trying to find some reproduction sills
If anyone knows of anyone who can supply, I would be most grateful.
I really miss driving her.

Don't Alfas come complete with a mechanic?

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

just curious... what do you mean by sills? Rubber molding (er... moulding) around the windows? seals? as in front seal/rear seal? shaft seal?

I mean.. you call it a boot fer crise sake. It's a trunk! I guess you're pretty good at turning a spanner. lol

I suppose you've tried all of the owner's associations/clubs?? http://www.auto-makesnmodels.com/Alfa_Romeo_Clubs.html

good luck

I used to have an Alfa ('81 Spider), but I had to sell it when I moved to CA because I needed the money :-( I often ordered parts from International Auto too. Oh yeah, and I became good buddies with my mechanics during the time I owned the car - had their phone number memorized within the first month of owning it ;-)

Well, your profile says you're in the UK. Alfa Romeos are still sold there right?

Anyway, I did a basic search and found:

www.veloces.co.uk

I guess they're in London. Don't know if that helps.

We used to own an Alfetta (78?). After a few years, the car refused to shift into second gear, the valves gummed about every couple of months (8 valve/DOHC). When it was "fresh" it was quite the sporty little sedan. That was supposed to be my first car. It didn't live long enough. :P

Saw an old GTV6 on the way to work today. I miss Alfa in the US. Thanks to the scuff between GM and Fiat, I guess Alfas re-entry to the US market may be well delayed beyond 2007. [:/]

I don't know if their quality has improved any, but they still make some beautiful cars (the new Spider, GTV, GTAs....mmmhmmm :P).
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!
