1968 Alfa GTV barn find - Edinburgh

[northo]

Look what we found in a lock up in Edinburgh!



55,000 miles - hasn't been on the road as far as we can tell since 1975!

Lovely Mini in there as well. Never thought I'd see the day.

Nice one ! looks in quite good nick too. I love the old Italians.

How or why do they end up in these situations?

[northo]

No idea...

The car looks like it might be for sale for any Alfa enthusiasts out there.

We need pics of the mini aswell!!

Northo,

I can't see a pic of the car on here but can you send to me my email? I would be very interested in acquiring this car.

Bloody Nora!


Looks like a 1750 Mark 1. I'm biased but they are often seen as one of the most desirable of the 105 Coupes.

Buy it if you can.

Usually the death of someone who lives alone, or has no family etc.

Wow, really interesting find this. This thread needs to be in the Alfa or classic car section, it's a bit lost in here.

How old was the Mini you found and have you got a photo of it?

There is one interesting lock up in the Westend of Edinburgh that I knew of when I was down there - it had an F40 and a few other awesome cars in it but I was never able to have a proper look around.
