It’s no secret Alfasuds were extremely sensitive to corrosion. Few have survived and to find a good one has become a challenge. Even harder to find are the Tipo 904A /904B or Giardinetta models. The name Giardinetta sounds much better than Estate, Stationwagon, Combi or Break as used by other marques, although the true meaning, … Continue reading
The ever growing list of museums now includes museums in Switzerland (Pantheon in Basel, Verkehrshaus in Luzern), South Africa (Franschhoek Motor Museum) and Argentina (Fangio Museum in Balcarce). And there’s still more to come!
Among many other new items Japan has been added to the list with the Toyota Automobile Museum in Nagakute-city. Not only Toyotas can be admired in this museum, but also a long list of American, European and other Japanese cars. The Alfa Romeo is a 6c 1750 Gran Sport. Tazio Nuvolari triumphed with this Alfa … Continue reading
The page on Malta has been updated with the Malta Classic Car Museum in Qawra. Another novelty to this site is a proper domain name: http://www.alfaromeomuseums.com. WordPress is great to work with, but I prefer to leave its name out of the url.
Two museums in Spain, the Museo de Historia de la Automoción in Salamanca and the Museo Automovilístico de Málaga, have been added. I have also added contact forms, so visitors of this site can easily send in data from museums as well as events.

Let’s hope for … Continue reading
This was an easy one. For the moment I know only one museum in Russia with Alfa Romeos in its collection. Very nice Alfas I must say! Another novelty on this site is the Events page. More events will be added in future.
Consider it preparing for my Route 66 Alfa trip in June/July 2013, the American museums just had to be added as soon as possible. Will I be able to visit the Blackhawk Museum in Danville? Who knows…
I think the main structure of this site is to my liking now. I can now transfer the data previously collected in this forum thread to this site, but it has to be translated and checked. Some more images would be nice too. It will take some time, for the moment I have completed the … Continue reading
On this website I will create a list of museums with Alfa Romeos on display: cars, but also (trolley)buses and Alfa engined aircraft and boats.
