years ago. All are precision, architecturally-correct drawings on coated
cardstock, measuring approx. 14" x 19" in perfect condition. They were

evidenced by their intricate instructions for folding, tab-making, cutting,
etc. Most have moving assemblies and all are in full color. Individual
illustrations include:
Kasteel (Castle)
Motorboot (Motor boat)
Tank-auto (Mobiloil refueling rig)
Garage (for the Tank Auto)

I have been researching Alfa Romeos for enthusiasts all over the world for several
years. My basic research includes determining all of the following for a $25 fee:
Exact date of manufacture of your Alfa Romeo
Exact date of first sale of your Alfa Romeo
Original exterior color and paint code (and interior color if mentioned in the
factory logbook)
First owner's name and city (when available)
To do so, provide me with the VIN (the AR****** number found on your car's bulkhead)
and a check for $25. It takes about one week to complete.
I can also determine which paint codes and wheels for a given model and/or year of
manufacture are correct. Did you realize that there are 12 different silver/gray
paints available?!? There are six different 'white' paint codes and don't even ask how
many 'red' color codes there are. I'll determine that for you.
I can also prove an Alfa enthusiast with the range of engine numbers appropriate for their
car. This data can be useful to determine if the car's current engine is the same one
fitted at the factory. Related documentary services can also be provided as needed. I
have a long, long detailed data base of chassis numbers (VINs), paint codes,
wheel types, and related information. The extended search is $10 for these services.
Here's the complete set of 14 prints - from
1958 - that you've seen on the cover of many
sports car magazines including Sports Car
Marketletter (I traded Keith Martin for several
subscriptions). Perfect condition, this set was
created by a British military illustrator named
Wootton. Now deceased, this set by Wootton
is only going to appreciate. I have two sets.
Buy yours now as this is the first time you've
ever seen the complete set.
