PS, I've seen everything on car sales/my105 tradingpost etc etc.
My criteria are, must be aas close as possible to concourse body work and interior (ie if it has a big sound system with speakers in door trims etc, I'm not interested). I don't mind if suspension and drivetrain have been tickled, in fact this might be an advantage. If it has been tastefully modified I may be interested also. I'm hoping that something special will come out of the woodwork.
If it has lots of rust I am simply not interested, I have a project and don't need another one. The car would be a weekender only, stored in garage and pampered.
I'm not really looking for a racecar, so if its been stripped out, it's probably not the car for me.
I would be greatfull to anyone who can pm me with details.
I can be contacted via pm or mobile - 0439396679.
You really are a sucker for punishment!
haha, perhaps so. I've always wanted a GTV6 or turbodelta. After owning my Alfa 90, I just love the V6, and would like a car that looked nice to go with it :-).
There must be cars out there guys and gals, so drop me a call for a chat.
Mike I know of three GTV6's that fit your criteria what is your budget?
John
Mike,
I was thinking more of the turbodelta when I said that - GTV6 should be safe enough - though it would be kinda cool to have the full progression from NA to twincharged 4s...
John, budget will not be an issue....I don't do budgetting ;-)
i have the next best thing to a turbodelta, actually its better than that, its a beninca turbo (ex sedan) in a Alfetta GTV, almost finished now. its an original 78 in red. I;m undecided about selling it, so will keep you posted if i decide to do so..i'm in sydney.
cheers martin,
would you be able to put up some pics?
search is over, found and bought one of each. Thanks for all the help everyone.
cheers
Mike

Nice work! Please please start another thread and post some pics?
Good work Mike you bought two cars that was fast ;D
Last car I bought I was looking for 2 years for the right one.
As Evan said new thread and pics please.
John
hay man would like to see pics.
also what do you work as ?
i want your job
sorry no pics of engine in car yet..
hay i reckon i was thinking of buying this engine over ayear ago off some bloke.
where did you get it from ?
also what pistons/internals is it running?
turbo and PSI ?
thats a weird spliter for the oil supply and sensor.
also does anyone know what all those vacume/boost wires are for off the carbie the that multi spliter?
200-250 hp
250 bhp 'very' conservative from a Beninca turbo pending EMS and turbo. They still hold Sport sedan track records with 400 - 450 bhp 2 litre turbo motors driven by Dom & Joe. Peter's last normally aspirtated 2 Lt motor even had 250 bhp ATW's (Angelini head/ 20 yrs development etc).
Apparently the Angelini head was sold immediately to a European buyer when they advertised.
Would love to get my hands on an 'old' Beninca turbo! Have lots of fun.
Paul
they are still for sale, look around...
Anyway, beninca engines are nothign special by todays standards. They just improved on the autodelta setup by adding an intercooler from what I can see....no substitute for boost/cool charge :-).
My turbodelta runs an intercooler, so should be spritely...maybe no record breaker but good enough.
the beninca manifold is a better design IMO.... neither ran an IC originally but the beninca car made alot more power. I'm talking about the factory AD turbodelta stradale and not about the local dealer fit cars btw.. My car is in storage so will have some pics after xmas when I will finish it. No doubt we wouldnt bother with blow through carbs if we wouldnt like the old school aspect, right Mike? ;D
right! carbies are a bloody pain....always compromising something...
