I was thinking what would a Alfa Romeo 1750 gtv look like with a Ferrari 330 California roof line look like. It has the shorter side window . Dsg4me could you see it working.

This turned up at a local meet last Saturday.

Alfa T33 replica but can you guess what single donor is underneath (without Goggling!)

The dashboard is a huge clue and it's been suggested as a donor before on this forum....

You gave in in 4 minutes lol!

More clues - it's purely a body swap and the car underneath was made from 2000 to 2005...

Is it a VX220? The binnacle pod looks familiar.

Good spot! Yes indeed a very well camouflaged VX220.

No details of the kit online but appears to be the work of RS Performance in Stow Marie's...

I've got an idea. How about an Alfa GT Junior wth an Alfa GT Junior roof



You're going to be hard pushed to find a better looking car

Love too but cant find a company happy to chop the roof off a rusty one. The roof will need to be shortened to allow for the donor

Do you plan to use a Z3 or MX5 as donor. On the Z3 the wheelbase is very close but the windscreen angle may be too shallow to look right with a shortened Alfa roof:

Just an idea why don't you keep the donors roof
Junior convertible or use the donors hard top- not so dear and will make life easier
