Well, the Minilite mag style 8x15s still look good (new last year), and better looking than the Minilite Sport version that used to be the only one available.

Did anyone see the silver Farboud GTS? What a stunning car, and not all 'over the top' like the Zonda is.

I noticed a picture of a Stratos at the Race of Champions in Classic Cars mag. It's in Alitalia livery but with yellow Minilites?

Quaife still list their ATB limited-slip diff for the Alfa 164, at £500 in the catalogue - although their availability is still suspect, waiting for a suitable number of orders to be placed before manufacture.

Gripper diffs were also there, with the 164 diff listed at £750 (although I was told that there may be deals on the price). I cannot remember the name of who I spoke to on that stand, but I did mention Dave in our discussions. Sounds like another batch of 164 diffs are going to be made up fairly soon.

The other items of interest would probably be the many types of brakes on display - Wilwood, Outlaw, f-in-big-brakes, AP, Brembo etc.

Wheel manufacturers may be of interest to some replica owners/builders.

But if you haven't been along already, then it's too late now!
