Non Originale

Seriously Folks, let’s all try to keep the rubber side down!

While this trio of Alfas was out for a drive, the owner of the red ’67 GTV hit a bad stretch of pavement and rolled the car. Driver and passenger walked away, shaken but not broken. Still, this photo gives me serious heartburn. Take a look at the license plate on what is now an expensive parts car; it reads “GTV 67.” My garage holds an unsmashed red 1967 stepnose, like the one in the photo, my California license plate used to read: “A67GTV.”

: The 1958 Giulietta Spider of Dan Rhodes. Dan is guarded about the motor, but says he has a 1300 Veloce engine with 1400 kit on a shelf in the garage.

: Dan also has a lovely 1959 Giulietta Spider Veloce, with 1500 kit and 5-speed.

: Dan’s Milano Verde, which he refers to as his “Prince of Wales (POW) Alfa. I’ll let you British car fans figure that one out.

: Dan’s Jr. Zagato is stock, but he thinks the Zagato body is more than enough to earn SNO creds. So do we. But we like it.

: On the left is the 1971 GTV of Dan Rhodes. It has a 2L motor.

: Simon Johnson’s GTA replica started out as a 1750 GTV, as noted on SNO Alfa Photo Page 16.

: Love the tough looking stance of Simon’s GTA rep.

: Fun on the track.

: Simon’s GTA replica.

: Simon at a Goodwood Classic Alfa track day.

: GTA parts are good. Driving skills help. But nothing lowers lap times faster than a genuine SNO sticker or two.

: Neither rain, nor sleet, nor SNO can keep Sid Smith from enjoying his ’74 Spider

: Kev Rowles, from Derby in the UK, owns this vibrant yellow 1973 GT Jr.

: Lurking under the hood of Kev’s GTV is a 2L twin spark motor.

: Hey, isn’t that logo on the back of Kev’s GT missing something?

: Alex Jordan and son Quinn, with his 1974 GTV.

: Alex’s GTV ready to attack an autocross course.

: The youngest Jordan Alfista, scoping out the autocross track.

: Nothing like a red Alfa, green trees and a winding road.

: Alex Jordan’s GTV was still in pieces when his son was born. While pondering how to get the car ready for diaper runs, he had an idea for a rally … The Diaper Run 400. He pictures sleep deprived parents in half-finished cars and grocery getters as the competitors. I’m still trying to get the phrase “diaper run” out of my mind.
