    Alfa Romeo 12c

    Just trying a car or two, as nobody likes my aircraft:

    The Alfa Romeo 12c was a 3 Litre Class Grand Prix car developed in 1938 from the earlier 8c.

    The 12c was very short-lived however as the 308 was already designed to replace it during the same year.

    WW2 ended this era of Grand Prix cars, and although they did return post-war, rapid advance in design changed them forever.

    Really...Did somebody tell you this here?

    Seems a little out of character for this place, criticism is generally apologetically constructive and rarely that overt.

    You ever think of doing a Alfa Romeo Spider Clave? I have a mate who recently bought one Convertible with the much nicer metal fenders too!

    I too second Supah, would be nice to see this one Clave, hint, hint Quite a nice, stylish, affordable (these days) sporty little number.

    Good to see you back Clave I always liked your work. You have your own style which very effectively enables a high output of finished profiles. All good.

    Cheers

    I *think* I know which one the Spider is, but anyone who can give me a definitive link would be appreciated...

    Re: Alfa Romeo 12c

    There appear to be some other versions of the Alfa Romeo Spider but this is my fav the 2003 version. Is this the version you meant Supah?

    Alfa Romeo GTV Spider

    Alfa Romeo Spider red vl

    Line Art (Hhhhmmmm!!!)

    You might make that line art better using this image:

    That's the one I meant! The other one is just down right awfull 1990's Alfa styling is the worst thing ever, with that series spider being the worst example of it! I can not understand how the designer ever thought that was in anyway pretty

    Re: Alfa Romeo 12c

    My friend has one sort of like this



    But then with metalic fenders. I love alfa's current styling a lot, for a really cool Alfa google Alfa Romeo 8C

    My flying instructor once owned one like this



    But I remember his being yellow, painted by Ferrari, with a really nice black leather interior. It burned out due to a electrical failure about 15 eyars ago
