    Nope, that would be a repaint. Still, not a bad looking car. I think it has a tan interior.

      I always liked the clean look of the 1300 Junior with the single headlights...

          There are some weird things going on with that car. The corner markers are off a US spec 71 or later GTV, it should have small round ones, or none at all. The Vin# is really wonky, its my understanding that all 1750 GTVs are 153XXXX, not 135XXXX. This looks like it was originally a euro spec car so perhaps the 105.44 cars were a 135 prefix. I will say that it seems like a solid car aside from the rust that has returned in the front fenders.

          It will be interesting to see where this one ends up.

                        Hey JRK, I just watched the rest of it - there are some nice ones in there, and a tipo 33 V8 at 6:50! Then a flat 12 after that.

                            Headline: Alfa Romeo Returns to F1 with Sauber

                            "The Alfa Romeo brand will return to Formula 1 in 2018 as a partner to Sauber and Ferrari, ending a more than 30-year absence from the grid."

                            "Sauber confirmed on Wednesday that it has finalized a "multi-year technical and commercial partnership" with Alfa Romeo. Under the deal, the team will be known as the Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 team, and the 2018 car will carry Alfa Romeo logos and use 2018 Ferrari power units."



                            So it sounds like it's mostly stickers, but with Ferrari power.


                            "...this will be the marque's highest-profile involvement in F1 since 1985, the final year of a seven-year involvement as a factory team."

                            "Prior to that, Alfa Romeo won the first two F1 titles in 1950 and 1951 with Giuseppe 'Nino' Farina and Juan Manuel Fangio."

                            "And it was a leading team in the pre-war predecessor of F1, the European championship, when it became synonymous with legendary drivers such as Tazio Nuvolari and Achille Varzi."



                            Last works team entry, 1985....

                            Few car companies have more motorsports history than Alfa Romeo. Enzo Ferrari actually got his start running its racing team in the 1930s, and even today Ferrari’s Formula One cars still carry the Alfa logo. But for more than 30 years now, Alfa’s been absent from the top tier of open-wheel racing. That’s kind of sad!…

                              So that makes HAAS the Ferrari B Team and Sauber the C Team.

                                Alfa and Sauber are the same team.
