Very nice!

I don't "get" the 75's (yet) but the 105 looks fab!

Lucky boy!

Loving the 105! I might be looking to buy one soon, if your selling??

You need to drive one. Pretty they ain't.

Blasphemy!

The 105 coupe has yet to see a true successor, both in terms of its design and its reputation as a driver car, the 75 was a 4dr only ignoring the GTV6 and SZ, so the Giulia Ti and the like would be a better fit for its 'blood brother'.

What spec is the 105? More pics!

Of course it's a blood brother, it's not a son or grandson for reasons you mention, but both enjoyable drives and ownership....... For different reasons.

This thread progresses my ownership of the junior and gives specs.

Seriously tempted to add a 3.0 75 or SZ to the garage for weekend fun. Wish I'd bought one new when I had the chance.

Has to be the SZ surely, they look so menacing, I know the looks are rather marmite, but they just have meanness oozing out from every inch.

Not many in the Zagato owners club as well!

Quick update, the poor old junior wasn't sounding to healthy. A quick IR thermometer check on the manifolds showed an issue with piston 4.

Compression test then confirmed no compression. Further checks lead me to believe the exhaust valve has either bent, dropped or burnt out.

So the heads coming off....... Problem is its stuck on tight at the mo.
