In reply to Slippery :
I thought Woody bought it. You bought it right Woody?
I thought this was going to be post about Italian car reliability
Whelp, that's enough internet for today.
If that were mine, a bumper conversion to stainless is required. Seems like it would look better.
No joke, this is the profile picture of the seller.

Lol. Even Lambos don't have "lambo doors" anymore.
In reply to dj06482 (Forum Supporter) :
That seems about right.
I think it would be much better if the doors were hinged at the A-pillar instead.
What's the issue?
(telling the ladies at the bar)
"I own an Italian car with scissor doors" Owwwww - a Lambo
I'm just wondering how the Lambo tilt up doors latch with the conventional Alfa side closing latches

In reply to L5wolvesf :
I may have been involved in installing a set of those hinges in a Mustang. (Golden rule: He who has the gold makes the rules).
They swing the door out a little bit to clear the latches and then you lift it up into the vertical position.
It's a big, heavy hinge assembly with a gas strut to assist. To do it properly, the door frame and door need to be reinforced.
If you look close at the first picture, you can see the door gaps are all out of whack.
Is it just me or do the rear wheels look like they have positive camber as well?
