This is one of the best clips seen this year, makes me almost like Mark Oastler, Joe Kenright full of knowledge as ever, good timing on Joe's behalf NOT to become an Alfa Romeo dealer before Alfa Romeo Australia buggered off and caused untold damage to the Alfa Romeo name, Colin.

Impressively well researched I thought, not just the usual superficial level of detail.

What a great piece and so well researched.  Thumbs up to the Shannon's team for producing it.  I might have to start going through the back catalogue now!

I actually thought it was a pretty good piece. They didn't stuff anything up.

This follows on from the Kenwright piece on the 105 Series that he wrote for Shannons Club last year (as well as Oastler on the Christine Gibson Alfa in the 75 ATCC.) They were well on the money, including the fact that they badged the 1600 GT Junior as a GT 1.6 and actually made a cheap new badge for the model!

Sadly how times change though as Mark now has his GTV up for sale.  Having seen his GTV at the National Motor Museum it really does look every bit as good as it does in this Shannons video.  A real credit to all who restored it for sure.
