Jim Talbot, Suffolk, U.K.

Jim Talbot has owned his Alfetta 2000cc GTV for 14 years and has gradually improved and up-rated it to make it a more useable every-day car. One of the best improvements has been installing a pair of 12mm lift "Evoluzione Two" camshafts which provide more mid-range performance without interfering with flexibility. Also in Jim's stable is a Series 4 Spider which he has owned 6 years and recently improved by fitting a set of especially valved Bilstein dampers.

Our comment

Jim Talbot is on is a keen Alfa enthusiast and done much to publicise the Alfa Romeo marque, being a 100% enthusiast he makes an ideal Alfa owner. We provided many parts for his Alfas including 12mm camshafts for his GTV and a set of our specially valved Bilstein dampers, plus a set of seat covers, for his Spider.

Customers quote "I have been dealing with E.B.Spares since 1972 when I owned a Giulia Sprint GT, they have saved we many thousands of pounds and have always provided superb technical assistance with a friendly reassuring manner. If anyone reading this owns a series 4 Spider I strongly advise fitting the Bilsten dampers to give it a 'sportcar' feel…."
