According to the owner of the shop it was sitting at, it’s a 1966 Alfa Romeo TZ2. I happened to be driving by and thought I was looking at a baby 250 GTO, until I saw the Alfa badge. Also according to the dude, it has a dry sump 1.6 inline 4, dohc that can make 180hp at 8000rpm. Also it’s one of 12 ever made....no idea what it was doing in a random shop in an industrial area of North Van, but there was a Porsche 356 and something else I couldn’t identify in the shop as well, and I often see rather unusual cars parked nearby. This is by far the coolest though, and the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a while.

Apologies for the ipotato quality images, I don't have my good camera with me at work

There’s a little shop in my dumpy neighborhood that often has rare and well maintained classics out front (for the hour or so before the shop owner hides them) but nothing this cool. I love knowing where places like that are to look though!

That Alfa is incredible.

In-freaking-credible. This is my all-time favorite car in the Gran Turismo world.

There are so many in the area that have cool and rare cars, I drive for an auto parts store so it lets me find out where all the fun happens. Bonus when the shop owners are cool, lots of them can be quite elitist
