The car is an ex-Alfa 147 Cup race car that had a 230bhp N/A race engine in it.I just sold the race engine to another fella.

The car was left hand drive and now its being converted to right hand drive.

I have done some of the work on the car,but my mechanic and race/rally car builder is building the car for me.This car will be a complete one off,and I mean one off.Nothing like this has even been done before or will be done to an Alfa 147.The car now has carbon bonnet,carbon tailgate,carbon doors and carbon wings.Even lightweight polycarbonate windows were made for the car.Only the original metal roof is left.All I will say is "Turbo Power" all the way for this car now.It will be fast.Trust me on that.

Here's a pic of my engine bay. Note polished plenum, fuel rail, repainted rocker cover, tidied up wiring and ducati 996 rad with twin fans for my chargecooler pre-rad.

Not 100% tidy yet as its pretty dirty, but I will get that sorted soon.

Hmm..... engine pics
