"Special Edition" Alfas

[JHertzman@domain.elided]

In AD7-991 the Williams family, Jane & Allen, (Oddioengin@domain.elided) mount a 
passionate defense of the "Special Edition" Alfas (Balocco, Maratona, 
Velocissima, Mille Miglia, Mario Andretti, Nikki Lauda, Grand Prix (C.H.), 
Grand Prix (Oz)and others without, in unbecoming modesty, mentioning their 
role in establishing a Registry of Special Edition Alfas with the implicit 
support of Terry and Sharon Akins (Milanogold@domain.elided), Loyd Heimbruch 
(Loyd.Heimbruch@domain.elided), Bret Powelson (Alfist@domain.elided} and undoubtedly 
others. While none of the "Special Editions" are to my taste I was pleased to 
offer what documentary help I could to Terry Akins, and I would agree that 
these cars are a noteworthy part of the social history of Alfa Romeo outside 
of Italy which should be documented and preserved by those people who do like 
them, and to that end the registry should be encouraged. The possibilities of 
preserving patterns for vinyl stripes, molds for otherwise irreplaceable 
flares and wings, records of original color options etcetera are obvious, and 
any lurking SE lovers should please get with the program-

Sincerely,

John H.
