The Wombat

I guess life is all about exploring, refining, and changing your tastes.

With this in mind, I am pretty much going to get out of 33s, and have a new little Alfa project about to start in a few weeks.

With this in mind, I want to dispose of 3 of my 33s to people who will put them or their component parts to good use.

Here is what I have (and photos etc will follow but not until half term when I can get these cars out of storage).

M reg Series 3 16v (ex Alex 33bits)
- Red - repainted a couple of years ago and not looking too bad
- MOTed until summer and will pass another easily
- Immaculate recaro interior
- European rear disk brake conversion
- GM large disks and calipers on front
- Alfa 75 master cylinder
- Alex did the belts a couple of years ago and has documentation and photos
- I have repaired sills, and the car structure is sound.

Burgundy series 3 SW 16v
- No MOT
- Solid body but scruffy
- Number 3 big end gone on engine
- Has a set of scruffy speedline (155) wheels
- Car is complete, all interior SW trim is present

Rosso series 2 SW Cloverleaf 8v 1.7
- Very rare Alfa leather interior
- No MOT
- Starts and runs well
- All original with huge documentation pack
- Filler side rear quarter totally shot. Replacement used complete rear quarter included
- Rest of bodywork is OK considering it has never been painted

The sale price of these is not an issue for me as I know 33 prices are up and down depending on many factors. What I am really after is the room to work on my new project (the 33s are stored in my small barn at my house so take up all of my workshop space), so rather than state a sale price, if anyone is interested in any or all of the above, I would be happy with sensible offers.

To give a rough guide though, a good 16v with MOT seems to vary from 750 to 1600, and Alex's old red one is a good one.

I paid 450 for the series 2 SW and know the rear quarter and paint involves quite a lot of expense, so probably only worth that to someone who wants the car as a project. Leather interior is lovely though, and the car is very rare now.

The burgundy S3 SW is either a big project, or a spares car (shame as also quite rare but I will never get to sorting it). It needs the engine work, brakes and suspension recommissioning, and paint. It is complete though.

I also have a huge supply of spares. Don't want to undercut anyone else on prices, but 16v heads, cams, spare engines, interior trim, and more panels than you can shake a stick at, good series 2 wheels, 2 P4 rear axles, 2 P4 gearboxes, P4 VCU, carpets, seats, ECUs etc. Loads of stuff which I would be happy for offers on. I can list the lot at half term in a few weeks.

Just for interest, that does leave me with one remaining 33 which I will keep, my green S3 SW. It is a bit scruffy but I love it to bits.

PM me if any interest. Open to all sensible offers.

Hi,

I need some spares for my Series 3 16v, Can you lemme know what spares you have.

The Wombat · Posted: Wed May 06, 2015 6:08 pm Post subject:

Probably easier for you to PM me with what you want, and I will see if I have it. The list is otherwise quite extensive.

In summary though:

- All kinds of external lights including some SW rear light clusters
- All kinds of interiors including a P4 cloth recaro interior with door cards
- All kinds of suspension bits
- Pretty much all the removable metal panels/doors in champagne or red
- Most switches, dashboard etc
- P4 gearboxes, drive shafts, VCU, 4WD ECU (not the engine ECU)
- P4 fuel tank and boot floor
- Heads, valves, cams
- steering racks
- lots of engine bits, alternators, PS pumps

The list does go on and on and on!!!

Yes that S2 1.7 Cloverleaf SW must be very rare.

I'm not sure they even sold them in SW form in France. Can't remember seeing one anyway.

Here are some photos from a couple of years ago. Not much has changed as its been stored in the dry and started regularly:

The rusty filler area and quarter are very visible here:

Leather front seats:

Leather rear seats:

Little surface rust around this rear arch:

The leather interior alone is probably worth a bit, but the car is not being split, way too rare, and if no-one wants it, I may get round to sorting it one day!!!

Hi Wombat.
I'd be interested in both front doors in champagne, near side wing and the rear disk conversion for my track car.
Is that a large front disk conversion I see there too?

Hi BigAl

Sounds grand on the body panels. Do you want to PM me with a reasonable offer for them?

The rear disk conversion has to stay on the 16v, which is now sold with collection being arranged.

It did indeed have a large front disk conversion as well. Standard size Alfa 155 V6 front disks and Early Vectra 1.9 diesel front calipers with specially made braided hoses to get the right fittings. Alfa 75 V6 brake master cylinder as well.

Worked a treat, but again, staying on the sold car.

Let me know on the body panels. They are all in very good condition.

Yer looks nice that Cloverleaf SW. Definitely one to keep. Must be almost unique with leather.

Will post some more recent pictures soon, although it looks identical at present.

I don't think I'll ever get to doing the work it needs, so happy for others to make offers on it.

Have just put a few lines about the S2 SW in the owner's club mag for you, if there aren't any takers.

Always worth a try Laughing

Actually Neil you are about a year too early, I would be seriously interested in taking it off you in 12 months time.
Unfortunately it's just the wrong time at the moment

If it is still here, you would be more than welcome.

I am certainly not planning to scrap it, but likely won't have a chance to work on it for a year or more, so if no-one else takes it as is, it'll still be here is a years time.

It is stored in the dry, on a very dry floor, and so far further deterioration is very very minimal.

It still starts and runs fine, which I try and do once a month, and still moves without brakes stuck on etc.
