Alfa 75 TSpark - 1990

Funny you should say that, because when I was looking for one, I looked at 3 white ones.... all around Essex, though ;-)

So far it's had a rebuilt gearbox and the rear has been lowered slightly with uprated Koni dampers.

I have a set of Gabriel gas shocks ready to put on the front - I'll have the front torsion bars adjusted to suit the rear at the same time (it's a bit high at the front currently, but it does help traction)

I really need to get the rear arches cut out and replaced ASAP, though, as they're pretty rotten under the plastic.

If anyone knows of a decent bodyshop to use in South East Wales, let me know. Budget is around £1500 to have as much restoration done as possible.

It's not rotten - it's just the known issues of the rear arches and underneath the tail lamps that look a bit iffy.

Welcome,

nice 75 you've got, looks completely original.
by the way, i don't know any 75's that are absolutely rotfree under the taillights, that's a constructionfailure of the factory.

because there's a brazed joint of panels, it corrodes.



as a matter of fact, those spots under the taillights identifies a genuine 75

I've owned 11 75's and all of them had those rustspots

under the plastic arches is also a common rustspot, you should also check the rear innerwing where the springs and shockabsorbers are mounted on the chassis, it's a triple joint of panels that are also mostly a bit crispy.
under the hinges of the bonnet in the corners is another rustspot
and the bootfloor off course




but I like your white 75 a lot, think it looks even better than my black one

Boot floor is largely rot free - some surface stuff, but not flaky.

There's no other signs of rot - just under the lights and the rear arches. Saying that, the offside arch is quite solid.

Shouldn't be too tricky to fix.

not sure about the radio aerial in the 3 whiteone pic :lol

do you mean this one?
