When you pulled the Giulia and the Duetto out of the garage I had goosebumps, the sound of the Alfa tween cam is so unique, soul of Alfaromeo. Thank you for the excellent videos you make it's real pleasure watch them.

To me this is the most beautiful version of all Alfa Romeo duetto spyder made over the years. Fun fact: in Italy we call it "osso di seppia" that means "cuttlefish bone" because of the shape of is back. Thanks for the video and to keep alive and kicking these beauties!

My Duet Spider Veloce had a hard top and it was noisy. The rubber padding squeaked and the top thumped when the car rode the bumps. The top eventually ended up on my garage wall beside the snow board--both were consigned to being seasonal gear. I've been following this rebuild and your Alfa is nice indeed. I am a fan of white roadsters and performance cars because of their lines and because of visibility. This is indeed a good day.

Yeah I can’t imagine using this hard top very much, but I’ll try my best to make it as usable as possible.
