How much time and money should you spend on a restoration? Most of us have a sensible idea, probably based on the ultimate value of the car. But in this month’s Auto Italia we think we might have a record-breaker. The owner of our cover car, a stunning 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Spider, has invested fully 2000 hours’ worth of work in restoring it over two years. Most concours Ferraris have less spent on them. But that’s what happens when passion rules: you might even say it’s the ultimate, undeniable proof of the sort of love we all share for Italian cars.
