I have worked as a garage mechanic for 17 years, but now am a mechanical engineer at MAN B&W ship engines in Copenhagen.

When my friend decided to move to Canada, he sold me the car for 3000 DKr. It would be another year before I could start on it. I kept it in another storage garage, this time one with lots of other Alfas there. When the...
