We are on the move!!!!!

Ok...just got confirmation! Car has left from the previous owner. Truck just picked it up. Owner texted me saying everything went fine! Engine started at once and car has been loaded safely.
Tomorrow it will hopefully reach Lubeck and it will be loaded in the boat. If everything goes fine (there is small chance that it will not reach Lubeck on time) then car will be in Helsinki on saturday morning, where I will be waiting with a trailer to pick her up!

More news to come! Stay tuned!

UPDATE: Just got informed that the car will arrive in Helsinki on Sunday morning. Kinda expected...

Update....

I was notified today that the owner received the money. I guess that Donna is officially mine now....Owner has posted already the ownership papers with another paper from a classic car evaluation company (evaluation was done back in 2004 when Donna was in good shape).

Now the difficult part of the story begins.... That is bringing her home....

Come back for more news....

In the beginning....

Let's start with a bit of background....

As long as I remember myself in my adult life, I always wanted one particular car.
Yes, you guessed right. Alfa Spider! The older the better! With a small preference on models made between 1971 and 1974.

Finally after a while of searching (years...), my dream came true! I struck a very good deal for an Alfa Spider 1600 model of '73! I kind of still cannot believe that I bought this car. The deal was finalised today when I received the signed contract and I paid the money!

I will keep you posted on how Donna (this is her name from now on....mutual decision with my wife), is doing. Things that I will be taking care of in the near future: Give her a good bath (look at the picture! Inch thick dust! She also needs repainting. The clutch and gearbox need attention. Also the speedometer and RPM meters need some fixing too. Leather seats need some restoration as well. I am also looking into offering her a vintage car stereo. So if you have one in your garage that you don't need from that old car of dad's, now is your chance to be part of Donna's life!



Let's start this thing going!

I will be updating as long as I have more news! Make sure you visit me back!
