To Restore or To Donor That is the question?

Couldn't get the link to work so if it's not just me try this...

Tough question. I love early Alfas but this one doesn't look quite 'right' to me so I'd break it and use it as a Sammio donor.

Also, the Alfa twin-cam is a great engine, but so is the venerable Triumph straight six, so it seems a bit like pouring away your Tattinger champagne and topping the bottle up with Bollinger.

On the other hand, I'm sure there are people out there who love the Moss Mamba as much as we love our Sammios, so I hope it goes to someone who will love it and hug it and name it George...

OK, not sure what's going on here but my link doesn't, erm, link either. Sorry.
