       I called the owner and talked to him about the Quattroruote.  Sounds 
like a well kept old Alfa, however the thread Alfa used for the top is coming 
apart - sound familiar?  Now, I just have to persuade my wife to sweep the 
cob webs from the purse strings.
        According to Fusi and some other sources I have researched, the first 
year the 4R was build on a Giulia spider chassis 101-23.  The second two 
years were on a 105.08 Giulia T.I. chassis.  However, the photos the owner of 
the car on eBay send me clearly show the angled front springs of the 101 
chassis.  And some of the people I have talked to find it hard to feature 
Alfa switching chassis mid stream on such a limited production car.
       So is any one on this list familiar with the Alfa on eBay?  I am a bit 
far away to inspect it.  It is in Anaheim, California.  The owner has not 
been involved with the Alfa club for years, he says.
