So
Mrs Catman and I have been talking. And we've come to the sad, if probably inevitable conclusion that the two older Alfas should probably be set free with someone that will take them out to play and enjoy them.
I've not seen them for some time, but best case scenario is that they have zero rust, and will need service, tyres and belts, fluids and pads to get a fresh MOT. They were in good, honest condition when they went into storage. I'd happily get all that done.
The Sprint is LHD. Green cloverleaf.
First 4 photos here are post restoration:

1.7 engine. Can't recall the miles.
The Giulietta is a V6 conversion, with 75 running gear, SZ cams etc etc

I think then engine had something like 100k ish miles on it.
There were some electrical issues (the Alfa control would do a disco impression when it was cold ambient temperature) and it had a tendancy to overheat in stationary traffic (both of which we'll get fixed)
Two questions really
1) Anyone want to hazzard a guess to market value?
2) Anyone interested?
Random questions I know, but if there is interest (even passing at this point) I'll make some effort to get proper data.
Cheers
