Hi,
Well although a little late but I managed to find some time a take a couple of pictures from the car.
It has been polished and waxed in early September and some days ago I gave it a new layer of wax.
I think the result is good enough - I used the Armor All color restorer and polishing wax.
Regards,

Nice to see 33 shine.
You probably hate
- spring sunny days when all dust from gound takes off and land on freshly cleaned 33,
- summer days when reisin & pine needles cover it
- rainy autumn/winter when all mud sticks to it.
We probably should be driving cars only in garage

Re that comment on my first pic (tvatavuk)
Yes, but that was when I was just 16. Check out Paddy's puffy hair!!! |

Come to think about it, he is you brother.

OK guys - that has to be the roughest picture that has ever been taken of me!!
But is was the best day of my life...the sound of the boxer, amplified by the corroded old exhuast pipe...I remember exactly how it was!!
Gritsop - your Alfa 33 is very nice indeed. From the outside, it looks just like what ours used to look like. The interior looks slightly different though, probably as it is a IE, and ours a IEL. Interesting that it has the boxer badge on it. |

Hi,
Thank you guys for your kind words! 
Paddy, yes the interior is different as a couple of months after the car was bought (4/1991) the seats were upgraded as the L type was adopted.
About the boxer badge, I put it about a year ago. It was not originally fitted.
Regards,
