As an Italian born in Milan some hundred meters from the first Alfa Romeo factory (portello) grew up in the 60s/70s with the myth of the Alfa Romeos I have only one thing to say to these dreamers of Alfaholics ... Thank you Simply thank you for your passion simply thank you for making dreams come true simply thank you for so much love for Alfa Romeo I am proud of you
Fabulous video. Audio sounded ok in spite of the strange "filter" noise starting at 2:30 and ending after 4:30. Sounds like the music was somehow superimposed over the mic audio.
Remained in dutiful silence for the duration of the video and genuflected on my lap; here we are in front of 2 myths of the automotive world, ALFA ROMEO GT and AlfaHolics! 10 minutes of applause !!
@@Ti22Vehicleservices Greta video. I am actually in the blessed position of getting a restomod (not Alfaholics) and I am considering carbon vs rebuilding the eaten away steel. A question or two - do you know how they paint carbon fibre? Is painting carbon the same as painting steel (i.e. for the results that you end up with)? The added speed that you get from steel vs fibre can't be much, but I am tempted as hell regarding the whole idea of carbon
If I had the money I would easily buy a 290 or this instead of any modern supercar. No one except Lotus seems to understand nowadays that a light weight and nimble chassis is the way to go.They all have way too much power, completely idiotic. Useless electronics and apps. I need a proper steering rack, manual gearbox and Waze so I see where the speed traps and police are located :)).
Absolutely gorgeous! I love these cars the way Alfa originally made them. What Alfaholics achieves is unbelievably wonderful! I just wish I could afford one! The only problem is that I can't imagine actually driving it after all this tremendous and beautiful detail work! I guess I need two of these: one to drive and a second one to keep in my living room! LOL! ❤️
With a seven year wait to get your ultimate Alfa Romeo, what will you drive in the meantime? How about a Noble M400 which is only going to cost you around £55 to 60 thousand and will out perform the Alfa in a straight line whilst handling as well as the Italian car. Having driven an old standard left hand drive Alfa GTV, will say that whatever speed you approach a bend, it just goes round it as if on rails.

It's beautifully finished. But those bonnet catches look half arsed and unfinished. I'm sure there's a domed, stainless, turnbuckle type fitting available. Fairly certain I could design, fabricate and polish to a mirror finish a couple of prototypes.
The cost of this thing. Yikes. Worth every penny though - What's the build time on this from scratch? 12 months? Wouldn't be far off with at least 3 blokes working on it..
stunning, I am in awe..again when it comes to an Alfaholics project...lovely colour, perfect job on the paint...this bluette seems to be a tinge different in pigmentation from the one that I used to see, albeit rarely, on vehicles from the time, or am I mistaken?
"2000 hours on the bodywork" he said, when referring specifically to the paint. Is that for real? So at regular mechanic prices that's IRO £100,000... JUST FOR THE PAINTWORK!... I would die to own such an amazingly beautiful car. Seems like that might not be anywhere near enough.
WOW WOW WOW What a stunning car!!! Loved the video and highlighting some of the details. Would love to know more about what products you use to detail these cars. Cheers 👍🍀
Warum sollte man viel Geld für eine Aufbereitung ausgeben wenn das Fahrzeug neuwertig ist? Einmal Handwäsche und ordentlich abtrocknen reicht da völlig aus 😂
I can't really get excited about that, much at all. It would seem a bit OTT and a bit of an ornament. Happy to be wrong - but can't imagine it being thrashed around a race track etc.
Really enjoyed this video. I prefer to see you doing things rather than talking about what you have done. It really is good to see Alfaholics doing the presentation the correct way. I used to work for a company building classic cars £400,000 upwards and they were never prepared to this standard.
Nice work James, at 3:32 is that little side light part filled with water? The line across it certainly makes it look that way. If so I think I would disappointed to find that on a “brand new” car...
What a work of art! Can I assume that it is not clear coated, due to the colour on the microfibre pad? And also lots of paint to play with being hand painted? Well done Sir, am jealous!!!
Just what i wanted to hear about the car. The extents you go into cleaning and polishing. That's absolutely want i want to learn about. Car detailing. Yes sir. Nothing excites me more than talking car detailing. Ohhh boy. He's still talking about detailing. I'm in heaven.
What a beauty of a car. Nothing beats car styling of that era. Today, design is either incredibly boring or over the top. Back then it was pure elegance, and the lines just flowed
@@Ti22Vehicleservices Not bad at all. They originally weighed about 1000kg, so that's a pretty substantial difference. I worked on a '63 Lotus Elan, once. Those are only about 680kg, and they are really quick. I'd love to drive one of these.
Beautiful color Beautiful car, it's nice to see that the same attention to detail on a high dollar hand-built one of a kind car is the same a detailer would affectionately do to his daily driver in his or her driveway.
The front grille is obviously a heart, not a kidney! The hood latches are foolish things, they will rattle, should be a more able fastener and no cord obviously. Who wants to stare a piece of wire loop vibrating in the wind the whole drive? When you apply a cloth to a complex metal surface on the engine, use some variety of rigid applicator behind a carefully folded piece, to get into nooks, or use a stiff bristle brush, changing the contact surface as you go. This wiping with a large balled up wad of cloth is not a real working method. And why no gloves? There is obvious finger scratch marks at the door pull, visible in the slow pan. The footwell is dirty. "Only half done" explains the video too.
I'm glad somebody else saw the obvious scratch marks by the door handle. In the same area, it looked like some spiderwebbing in the paint. No where close to a "10" on the paint and finish. That said, I'd rather have this car than almost anything else I can think of, and the materials and covering selected for the seats was perfect.
@@banmadabon Nooo.....with CF body it is probably $400K. The ALFAholics 290 was over $200k a couple of years ago. This is a cool car but I lean towards a real ALFA GTA or GTAm....will always be worth more as a valuable collector car.
Its Bluette (Blue). I have a 1969 GT junior with the same color (original color, but repainted)It does looks green in green enviroment. And a shade of gray when the sun goes down. Amazing color.
I can never get enough of the Alfaholics projects. Making the finest "things" in the automotive industry. You can keep all of your modern hypercars.
Nice to see that you colour coded your hoodie to the car. That's attention to detail!
I try my best 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
his glasses and eyes aswell!
It's not matched, get your color vision checked.

not only is that thing beautiful you know it gets down too!
Oh yeah it does!
Great video and production James👍
👍🏻👍🏻
enjoyed the walk-around of this fantastic car! Nice video presentation.
Would rather have that than any new flappy paddle super saloon just awesome great stuff
Except you can buy 2 911's for the price of that.
Considering that they cost around ten times more than the originals, adjusted for inflation, I would expect some level of improvement yes
All carbon 300hp GTA.... l'm in love!!
how can it be a `new ` car if it is made from a 70`s donor ? . more like an extensive rebuild- that looks great though

Why is this car so fucking beautiful ?!
First time I’ve heard an Alfa Romeo grill shield referred to as a kidney...this guy’s been around too many BMWs

I've always wondered is detailing painted carbon fiber more difficult than exposed carbon fiber or a normal painted metal car?
Crisis in my pants!! What a stunner!!

You can be sure that no one gives a damn.

Does this car get driven in a bubble ? Isn't there "dust" in the world ?
Of course, but for handover to new owner you want it flawless.
It's beautifully finished. But those bonnet catches look half arsed and unfinished. I'm sure there's a domed, stainless, turnbuckle type fitting available. Fairly certain I could design, fabricate and polish to a mirror finish a couple of prototypes.
Na minha opinião, um dos carros mais lindos da história. Um abraço from Brazil
Is there any blue filter on your camera? Or is that just the shop light or overcast skies.🙂
No, that's straight off a good camera and the lighting is daylight matched.
@@Ti22Vehicleservices Thank you.
Man, the color is absolutely perfect on this car. I’d have a hard time driving it just because I would want to look at it so much.
The cost of this thing. Yikes. Worth every penny though - What's the build time on this from scratch? 12 months? Wouldn't be far off with at least 3 blokes working on it..

I think that's the whole car, which makes sense for the price (about 200k iirc)
I'm going to buy one of those but only to keep it in the garage and clean it every single day. My OCD will enjoy it a lot
WOW WOW WOW What a stunning car!!! Loved the video and highlighting some of the details. Would love to know more about what products you use to detail these cars. Cheers 👍🍀
What a great reaction! Thankyou Clive! So glad you enjoyed it.
The film is great, but the volume of the commentry was too low to properly understand what was being said.
Da werden Erinnerungen wach! Sehr schöner Alfa, Super! 👍❤️
Riveted rear wheelarches? Unbelievable that someone can think that's ok.
Warum sollte man viel Geld für eine Aufbereitung ausgeben wenn das Fahrzeug neuwertig ist? Einmal Handwäsche und ordentlich abtrocknen reicht da völlig aus 😂
I really enjoyed this... Looks Stunning!
Does anyone have any idea what color that is? I'd love to paint my GTV project that color.
It's called bluette. Its a period colour.
Alfa romeo 😍
Top quality video james!! Gorgeous vehicle...work of art😍
Thankyou buddy 👍👍
I can't really get excited about that, much at all. It would seem a bit OTT and a bit of an ornament. Happy to be wrong - but can't imagine it being thrashed around a race track etc.
You'll see one be thrashed around the top gear track on Sunday night!
According to my life insurance policy this car costs more than my life is worth.
You've made an already stunning classic look 'super' stunning!!
Thankyou ! 🙌
its much better and classier with the bumper on

Yes, it's not clear coated. Single stage is the right period correct look for this car 👌

Thank you for this video !!! This is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN !!!
I’d actually choose one of these over most of todays super cars love that intake noise 🤤🤤🍆
They should make a carbon Duetto Spyder.
I wish they would tell us what it weighs.
This car weighs right around 800 kg

Thanks for keeping us honest guys. We included the shots near the door handle to show the 'before' state.
Alfa Romeos are just awesome cars.
The best colour for this beauty is red
Makes mine look really shabby😪
What the color is?
Bluette
squadron blue?
Bluette
Jaw dropping 😳....wow
Beautiful car and a beautiful colour too
Amazing, love Alfa's
I have '46" on my toolbox too.....
Beautiful mate
300 hp ,about. 3 times of regular power alpha , wonder what new top end is now?
They where originally 130. Bhp.
With the right gearing about 160.
what a beauty
Weight and power? Gearbox and engine?
800kg, 240hp.
Nice job...👌🏼
Capolavoro
