Amazingly pretty car. Just awesome. This is why I like steelies and think they're pretty. The early Porches had them. Also, my '78 924 had them.

I also would never have guessed Minis were made into the 90s. Whoa.

He retrofitted it with the aluminum drums and these very tall wheels. I'm wondering if it was originally to fit the biggest drum they could on the race cars. A 4" x 16" bias-ply race tire is something you don't normally see.
It was a blast to ride in. Very solid and stiff. The wind hits you right above your eyebrows. It has a 2.1 VW built by a California specialist to around 140 hp. And he said it has a "freeway flyer" transaxle, which gives it longer legs at higher speeds.
He found 1956 Montana license plates......

Custom-built Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, by Conrad Stevenson. He took it to Mexico to race the Carrera Panamericana. Started with just the upper part of a shell. He has a nice perspective of the history of Alfa.
