My SZ

The story of my SZ...

2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015

 
19/01/11 - 10,002 miles covered!


12/02/11 - Since buying the car, the steering has had some play at the centre...I found the cause was a loose steering rack and simply tightening two of the bolts solved the problem! A later modification provided a longer term solution (see TechPage).

13/04/11 - Reversing light switch fitted (see Tech Page).

16/04/11 - Foam bolsters (see Tech Page)

17/04/11 - Start of the 2011 Alfa Romeo Owners Club events, Spring Alfa Day at Duxford Air Museum, a lovely 250+ mile round trip in the SZ.

25/04/11 - A recent MOT warning about the outer rear CV boots led to a renewed search for replacements and the subsequent fitting of brand new CV boots (see Tech Page) which are freely available for not a lot of money!
 
01/05/11 - Weekend trip to York for the AROC Yorkshire Section's Spettacolo dell'Alfa di York.

08/06/11 - Local AFL (Alfa Fiat Lancia) meeting at the Peacock, South Wingfield. See their forum for more details: AFL Classics

05/06/11 - Auto Italia Day at Stanford Hall Lutterworth, parked next to a very blue Alfetta GTV6.
 
17/07/11 - National Alfa Day at Basildon Park, rained most of the day but still had a great time talking to owners of SZs and 155s (my other passion).
 
10/08/11 - The foam pieces have been covered in leather at last (see Tech Page) although the work is not the best. I also had a spare Zagato steering wheel recovered but the company, Brooks Coach Trimmers of Mansfield, made a complete and utter mess of it, you can view the pictures here if you dare, they are truly shocking!
 
14/08/11 - MITCAR at Stoneleigh Abbey, rubbish phone picture because my camera was playing up...again!
 
11/09/11 - Auto Italia Day at the Heritage Motor Museum, Gaydon...I arrive quite early!
 
25/12/11 - A little ride out on Christmas Day; the car's looking dirty but it was too cold to wash it!
