try disconnecting 3 spark plug leads should reduce the wheelspin down to a small chirp, might start sounding like a Daihatsu Handivan as a result

Send it up to me and I'll have a look at it for you, though be warned, I may have it for a while as sometimes these things take years to sort properly ;)

Maybe enter it into standard class, you will have so many protests you won't get to drive it again.....thereby eliminating the wheelspin.

It looks like the twin of a '1600' Spider that was for sale on the Alfaholics website :o

Maybe it had wheelspin trouble too ?

Wheelspin is like understeer both can be cured by going slower.
