Happy Birthday!

Go ahead and buy it Jeff.  In a former life I drove Fiats on road and track,
raced a 124 and an X1/9 and just recently sold a whole car's worth of speed
parts including a European 1608 engine with matching twin Webers etc.  If
you can stay away from rust, the mechanicals are very solid.

And set up correctly it will smoke an Alfa, guaranteed!  ;)
