A Monthly news update from David Edgington who has been selling Alfa Romeo spares for over 40 years).
Finding parts for older Alfas isn't easy but it
has always been our speciality. Thanks to our company in Italy
(see pictures on OUR COMPANY IN ITALY page) we have successfully
been able to meet a number of requests by locating some extremely
rare parts during the last few months. A few examples are,
| Seeking out parts to repair/restore 101 cars---- Giulietta,
Giulia Sprint, Spider and SS is always a challenge and we
are first to admit we cannot find everything. |
 |

|
We have just supplied bumpers, grille, light rims, hinges
and door handles for one Giulia Spider, and suspension ball
joints and shock absorbers for another. |
Repairing the front of a Duetto Spider isn't easy because of the
dimple above the grille, and although various repair panels are
available none make a satisfactory repair. Front nose cones are
now made in Italy to special order via an old company of Alfa
artisans and although each one takes a long time to materialise
it does enable an excellent, original repair to be carried out.
We recently supplied this complete front end to repair a crashed
Duetto Spider.
| In order that a Giulia Super Estate could be restored
we located a box chassis section (the engine compartment)
with wings, front panel and sills |
 |
Other complex orders involved obtaining engine parts to rebuild
a GTA, a 2000 Touring Spider and even one of the original Tipo
33 racing cars. Always difficult are bearings for the early
750 series Giulietta but we've found them---even standard size
! These older Alfas are part of our heritage and it is a pleasure
to be able to help their owners maintain and restore them. Locating
rare and difficult parts is a challenge, not all items are available,
but with 32 years experience and worldwide contacts we are in
an excellent position to carry out a search.
