Alfetta (Type 116) 1971-1987

2021: MK1 Alfetta saloon imported from Naples Italy.

Hear is the start of my 1976 MK1 Alfetta Saloon race car project that has been built to race in the CSCC Swinging sixties Group 2 championship.

The Alfetta was brought by me in 2021 and had been brought over to the UK From Naples Italy.

From what we know the car had been owned from new by the former Italian owner, before the previous UK based owner had been able to purchase the car from the family after the husband had sadly passed away.

When we first saw the car it had been taken back to start restoring.

When we brought the car the car was at 54813 miles the car had all original floors and seals and required three main point off Welding work done the two corners of the rear screen and the bottom of the OSF Door.

We decided to build the car as a historic race car to race in the swinging sixties series.
