Thx Guy
Good advice
On the limited ebay searching I have done it looks like 3.2 donors are quite expensive!

Anything with a Busso V6 is becoming expensive especially if it's still a viable road car. Best sources now are probably GTV Coupe, Alfa 166 in 2.5 or 3.0 V6 or the 156 in 2.5 V6.Originally Posted by GerryA
On body styles I've had Stradale, Square Arch and am now trying to build a Round Arch. Favourite is definitely the Square Arch, it's the most aggressive look and, to my mind, there's something odd about the round arch seen on the road from behind, they look like they're crabbing down the road.
Whichever style you pick can I suggest that some research is needed, if you pick a rally scheme for a specific car/event (try not to pick one that's already been done!) then pick the body style that's appropriate.

Thx again Guy
I'm really keen on the 3.2l so it looks like it might be expensive :-(
I have an idea for the colour/paint scheme based on the Alitalia car so I guess that means sq arches
Alitalia is more usually associated with round arches Gerry. Some stradale cars also used that style on Scandinavian rallies with narrow snow tyres...
Potential donors with a 3.2 Busso..

I like the last (1977 Square arch) version of the Alitalia colour scheme with the tall 'A' logo on the side and the larger 'Alitalia' lettering on the rear wing.
Like the photo of the 1977 RAC car at the top of this forum page.
That's the scheme I am thinking of
Yep, the only other 1977 works car I can see with square arches is the Pinto car from the Tour De Corse.
Munari's car on the same event had round arches, so it shows how short lived the square arched Alitalia version was.
The roof scoop shows up at around the same time.
