EXTERIOR
Body And Paint
The restoration of this car was done in a very neat and tidy manner. The bright silver paint is smooth and consistent from front to back. Upon brief inspection, the body looks fairly good with consistent panel and door gaps but upon closer inspection areas of hasty and heavy bodywork can be seen especially on the bottom of the rockers and on the rear valence of the car. Its nothing of concern but the use of body fillers is clearly present with a slightly wavy and bumpy finish to the panels. There is a minor paint chip on the front of the car where it appears the hood made contact with the front nose section on a careless opening and there are some very minor stone chips in the front area. Additionally there is a small knick in the paint onto of the driver fender about a half inch long.
Glass And Trim
All the glass on the car appears to be in excellent condition. The side windows as well as the wing windows are branded Sekurit and the front windscreen contains a Triplex branding. There is no real scratching or pitting to speak of. Chrome trim on the car is bright and smooth with some minor scratching in high wear areas. Rubber components are all supple and bright and in fantastic condition.
Wheels
All four wheels are the 5-spoke, star-shaped style but are newer remakes branded KBA 43907 and have a consistent and bright finish to face of them with no curbing or rub marks. The center caps are all free of cracks with a clean and legible Alfa Romeo logos.
Notable Flaws
Overall the car is in fantastic condition and shows extremely well. The only real notable flaws come upon very close inspection and include some minor paint chips in the front section of the car as well as some rushed bodywork around the lower edges of the vehicle, not truly noticeable unless looking at the car from below.
INTERIOR
Seats And Surfaces
The red leather interior of the car provides an excellent contrast to the more mundane silver exterior. The seats are finished very nicely with no real issues to point out other than some general creasing from normal usage beginning to form. The fill on the headrests could be a bit better as the sides are starting to get a bit “saggy”. The carpets are in likewise fantastic condition with consistent color throughout and very minimal wear to speak of. The door cards are very nicely finished and are tight no issues to note. The rest of the leather-trimmed surface including the quilted rub mat over the transmission tunnel are all done to a high standard and remain in fantastic condition. The leather dash has nice even stitching and shows no pulling or fading. The painted silver painted surface of the dash matches the exterior well and is smooth and consistent. All the gauge faces are bright and very readable with no fading or dulling to their faces. The wood rimmed steering wheel is smooth and beautiful luster to it with shiny bright spokes and colorful and crack free center horn button.
