Alfa 90 Differences

[Beatle]

Yep.  Red one recently on Ebay.   It has been on Carsales for a while.  As it's not really 'mine' yet, I'll not be posting too many details in public until the sale is finalised.  But happy to PM (sorry Sheldon.....   ).

I will say though, the seller's general demeanour and attitude helps a LOT when dealing at arms-length (a lesson there for the young and smart-arsed trying to buy/sell...).

I believe it needs a headlight.........so that, and rego, doubles the price straight away   

So, what is the VIN prefix for a 90?

[dehne]

thats good you will enjoy it,
if you need anyparts inc headlights let me know, what was the final price I hope it was more on 2grand with a faulty headlight, pm me if you dont want to disclose figures in public

... and get ready for Auto Italia  .

Great news Paul.
We did a site inspection today and the venue is in brilliant condition.
We are looking forward to the best Auto Italia yet, so I hope a few more forumites will join Paul and come on over.

Cheers,
Peter.

good clean car, but another engine in it from a 75 that only had 120 on the clock,

Dehne,

Suspension specs on the white car?

How far did he drop the front and what rear springs are installed.  The stance looks good.

[dehne]

its almost the same as mine, the front is 50mm, 1 spline on the torsionbar, the back pretty sure lowered king springs, maybe 30mm, when lowering a 90 you need to make sure that the suspension in the front needs to be koni or similar not the full lenght snocks as they will bust a hole in the tower(previous experience) if you go to the other items this guy is selling he has a full set of koni's for it

[Beatle]

Cheers.  So one full spline on one end eh?  That simplifies it.  Which end, front or rear?

Given the roads around here wih all the wet weather, I might have to lift it 50mm

Something I haven't seen/heard discussed, is how the '90' model designation came about?  75 is to comemorate the 75th anniversary, but where did 90 come from?
