That is what we all like to see.......something that got put away a few years ago and then is re-discovered.
I wish I'd kept a few cars stashed up like this over the years  :'(

Would love an Alfetta, but lack of money and space precludes this at the present time!

Hey - Why would we laugh? - It's great to see another one saved - Especially a desirable 2000TC Super.  ;)

What are the plans and as Dave says lets have some more pics when you can!

Best of luck with it.

There is a set of Mercedes 15" from my old 190 Cosworth, the others are of course Strada Abarths 14" which I intend refurbing for the 131.
Cheers

Hi steve where did you find those wheels i must have spent 2 months emailing and phoning all the manufacturers most didnt do 98mm pcd others were moving production to the far east and couldn't help ended up with the last choice on my list when i really wanted the style you have or 5 spokes, ended up with compomotive ml style. Regards Barry

hi steve, i had a set like that but it was getting very expensive to put tyres
on them, i could not even find tyres for sale so i sold on the rims
regards gerry ;)

Yes tyres are expensive but you can find them:
225/40/16 will go on the front. (dia = 606mm)
285/35/17 on the rear (dia = 631mm)
Will get the tyres when the adaptors are fitted! PCD is 95.25 so need adaptors for 98mm fiat pcd. I have been told wobble bolts will fit! PCD difference is total 2.75mm thats 1.375mm for each bolt hole, i also need to open the centre bores out a little and or when the adaptors are manufactured have them made with smaller centre bores, centre bore of wheels is 50mm i believe Fiats are slightly larger.
So not a straight forward fit.

Original? PCD is Triumph 3.75" these wheels would be awsome on a TR8 with arches fitted or any Triumph.

Now who did i buy them from ::)
