    Alfa Romeo Canguro

    In the mid-sixties Bertone designed a new swooping body on an Alfa TZ2 chassis, called the Canguro. Autodelta was never able to put into production and the project was cancelled after just one car had been built. The one-off Canguro was wrecked at Monza by a journalist and it is said to have been rebuilt about a year ago.

    Has anyone got a clue what has become of this car?

    Drool. Giugiaro is a genious.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Those air vents were copied by the Montreal. So they found them so fashionable they decided to keep them.

    By the way, has the Japanese owner succeeded in rebuilding the car?

    Yep and they found their way on the Bizzarrini as well.

    Canguro back on track?!

    The catalogue for the Concorso Villa d'Este 2005 announced the completely restored Canguro. The Concorso was held last weekend (23, 24 april), but was the Canguro really there? Did anyone see pictures yet?
