Anybody want an Alfa Romeo GTV for a good cause?

Car Youtuber Miller Corner in the UK has been fixing up an Alfa Romeo GTV on his channel (I’ve been following his series on it!) and he now is auctioning it off on Ebay for Charity in support of The Samaritans organization for COVID.

The car previously belonged to his employer, Kelsey Media which runs many Classic Car Magazines/sites, which Joe works for as a videographer and journalist.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Kelsey had done a lot of mechanical refreshing to it, so it’s a good driver, and Joe’s done a lot of visual refreshing to it as well. No idea if anybody wants to bid on it, but I thought I’d mention it here in case anybody did as it’s a cool car for a good cause and I imagine Joe would certainly even help somebody with exporting it to North America if anybody on this side of the pond ever wanted to bring it over.

Too bad I'm not rich and Canadian. U.S. has to wait 4 more years unfortunately.

Is the good cause the inevitable parts fund?

Yeah....we can import anything up to about 2004-early 2005 right now! :)

They’re not as bad as everybody makes them out to be! He’s been DDing it since he got it I believe. His other car is a FIAT Seicento that has a lot of cool stories and work done to it. :)

Don't rub it in. Long shot, but Biden's a car guy. Maybe he'll reconsider the 25 year rule.

That opens up so many possibilities! There are a few Alfas and Citroens I particular that will be eligible for y'all soon and I'm jealous. So jelly.

Oh? Which ones? :D

I quite like the Alfa Romeo 146...not AS big on it’s front end styling (though I do like it) , but I LOVE the rear...

Kinja'd!!!

I mean more that you’ve only got about 2 or so more years for some that I am thinking of. Not exactly sure when some came out. The last Citroen C6 is absolutely heavenly and I have wanted one ever since I saw that FP article about the one that got here by an obscure legal quirk, probably military.

I remember that, didn’t Jason Torchinsky do a video comparing it to a Fisker Karma? :O

I didn’t know about Jalopnik until about 2018 I think.

HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THAT!

I love how those two guys walking at the beginning are just dumbfounded by what they just saw. I mean, I’m not sure I would believe my own eyes if I saw that convoy drive past. Thanks.

I love Jason’s ‘Jason Drives’ series....have you seen them all? He does some hilarious and awesome cars! :P

I thought I had seen them all. It’s been a while though. Perhaps I missed a few.

I’ve planned a trip to the Lane Motor Museum in two weeks. I’ll be taking lots of photos to post here. Too bad the vault tours have been suspended but I’m glad they’ve reopened.

But that ruins the joke! Kinda cool the weird cars this guys has, though. More power to him.

Oh man, I will be living vicariously! Lane is one of the places I really want to go someday! As always, I demand photos of FIATs, French stuff and Eastern Bloc things....oh, and JDM Kei cars :P

I might borrow a Go Pro for some video as well. I plan on some extensive content. Your wish is my whim, as always.

Hopefully you’re allowed to film in there, but they seem like some awesome people!

Actually....doesn’t one of us Oppos work at Lane?

Really? I sure haven't heard that. Who?

https://www.lanemotormuseum.org/collection

Their whole collection is on that link, so I don’t think they prohibit photography. I don’t think such prohibitions are that common in museums though flash restrictions are common.

I’m trying to remember his username, but I have an absolutely terrible memory! He posted from time to time about one of Lane’s cars he was allowed to bring home overnight every so often to give the cars a good run out!
