    A superb example of the restomod genre. The Alfaholics GTA-R 290 is one heck of a weapon. And if you need a family car Alfaholics can help you there also with their version of the classic Giulia sedan, it too is an absolute hoot.. They also can sell you the bits required to make your own version.

    Strangely, older cars like this are exempt from the proposed ULEZ regulations.
    You can drive one of these through central London without paying any fee.
    I expect loads of Londoners will be buying themselves old Alfas, Austins and Hillmans for their daily commute.

    • @ameliopompeo5722

    Interesting BUT if a Honda K24 and it's associated G box were fitted It would have 240 Hp at 9000rpm BOX stock with Honda reliability /durability.
    Without adding a turbo to raise it well past 400hp.
    Plus a world benchmark Gearshift action precision quality that makes the standard alfa trans Poor shift quality / feel like an early Tractor .
    IF doing a Restomod? At least do it armed with intelligence.

    • @danielescopel3825
      @danielescopel3825 Před 2 měsíci

      It's a shame to swap the engine on a classic Alfa😢
      You can also have a k24 with 400hp (overkill I would say for such a small and light car), but it's not all about the numbers, these cars have a soul and you are ruining it...
      For the transmission, it is a pretty good unit, very precise and fast, like a modern ones, and I think it's also tweaked by Alfaholics

      @@johnchurch4705 didn't say that .but anyone who owned a alpha from way back knows they were notorious for rust. My father had a late 70s alfetta and it was so corroded around the hand brake area the handbrake nearly came off in his hand. He had to then do some welding on it. They make them better now of course.

    Whilst I would not wish an horrendous accident on anyone, and I hope the person who was injured is recovering fully, Top Gear signed their death warrant when they lost Clarkson, Hammond and May. The two Northern muppets were not knowledgeable, not charismatic and not funny (nor comprehensible withoot soobtahtlz). The talent, and the chemistry, in my view, rested with Mr Harris, Mr Reid, and the dude from friends. However they didn't have the banter the original trio had. TG was the most watched show on Earth, and for the mischief as much for the motoring, and with a strong female audience. The baton passed to the Anglo/Canadians at Throttle House and Cammisa at Hagerty, for high-jinx and cinematography. Urge Rory and Chris to team up, with better crew.
