Alfa Romeo GTA

On moving a few things around at home I came across Bench Racer by Andy Kellock in the June 2015 edition of Scale Auto magazine, so spurring me to do something with the Tamiya road version of this car.

Box stock bar a half roll cage, doorside 'bullet' mirror, rear boot mounted fuel filler, short exhausts and decals. Adding also Tamiya Italian Red paint work and gloss white front corner as per research of these iconic racers.

I like that a lot, Pat.

I remember driving my sisters 1750 GTV back in the seventies, great fun apart from the 'knees bent arms outstretched' driving position!

On hers the door handles were only held in place by the mechanism, the sheet metal around them had rusted all away...

Lovely 5-speed 'box made up for the lack of torque, and on the upside it did love to rev.

Cheers,

-Don.
