Fran O'Connor came across a marvelous short video about an Alfa TZ2 once owned by departed AONE member George Fogg. Fran says, "I remember this car from the old days, and had met George several times. That car was stunning! Just a blast form the past."

Here's a video about the advent of the Alfa GTV that's quite amusing in the first half and quite informative in the second! Thanks to Greg Stidsen for sending in this one.

And here's a 17-minute video called "The Alfa Romeo GTV is the most Alfa Alfa that ever Alfa'd" from Hagerty's excellent "Buyers Guide" series. It's presented by Hagerty Editor Sam Smith, who refreshingly really knows his Alfa stuff! Thanks again to Greg Stidsen. (Disclaimer: Greg is a GTV owner.)

Here is a rhapsodic half-hour video singing the praises of the Alfa Romeo Busso V6 engine. It's part of an "Iconic Engines" series and is chock full of information, history, and charm. Also contributed by Greg Stidsen. (Disclaimer: Greg is also a Busso Alfa owner.)

Videos of celebrities and Alfa Romeos Part 1: Jay Leno and Billy Crystal go for a cruise In Muhammad Ali's Spider.
