2. Do you sell models yourself ?

Since I am only a collector of Alfa Romeo scale models, it has never been my intention to sell scale models to other people. It is really a non-commercial site, but I will always try to help other Alfisti in finding the model they are looking for !

3. How many 1/43 Alfa Romeo scale models do you have in your own collection ?

Right now, I have about 840 scale models in my "mini-museum"....

4. Are you driving an Alfa Romeo ?

Yes, I had one of the first available new GTV's 2.0 TS 16V in Belgium (april '95). At present I have also a mini-collection of 1:1 "old-timers" :

- a 6C 2500 Sport Freccia d'Oro coupé (1950)

- a 2600 Spider Touring "Superleggera" (1964)

- a Giulietta TI Berlina (1961)

- a 2600 Montreal V8 (1972)

 

5. What's your profession ?

Since 1988 I am working as a medical doctor in a teaching-hospital (St.Vincentius) in Antwerpen, where I am specialized in internal medicine and more especially gastroenterology.

6. What's your ultimate Alfa Romeo dream ?

Driving the Mille Miglia in a 1900 SSZ, but when the Freccia d'Oro would be elected next year for participation at the MM this would be fantastic !!!
