Owner is over seas and tells me the car was in perfect order when it was parked. I have absolutely NO experience with these beautiful machines other then the 10 hrs or so watching every video I can find on them. I'd love to get a tip or two or suggestion on how to approach the car. First thing on my list is the battery, what is a good replacement ? Oh and where is it located? I haven't found a pic of it's location yet. I know the Alpha Romaros have them in the trunk. What is the best way to start these up? I think it has a weber carb, do these have elec. fuel pumps or mechanical ? Always exciting picking up something new and exciting, can't wait.
 
Battery's in the middle of trunk..
