Maybe not complete opposite, both are 2 doors! I added them into the same photo for another reason though. The orange accents on the Mustang match the seats of the Alfa perfectly, especially when seen in person! 🙂
The Mustang has been reviewed here recently but the Alfa is a new Matrix, a 1964 Giulia GTC. Touring modified 999 coupes (1964-66) into the open top version. They extended the tail out and down slightly, maybe to balance the lack of the coupe top and/or to be able to fit the folding roof into the trunk!
I seem to see a Blaupunkt radio in the middle of the dash (3rd photo); this was not OEM, so I think I may have to send it back since it is not 100% original! 🤔 The paint is celeste blue which is an Alfa color, albeit not too common!
Wow Karl you are detail oriented sending it back because of a non original radio. If I were to send back the models in my collection that are not perfect, I'm thinking my collection would be 90% smaller.

@karl I stocked a shelf full of (mostly) Alfas to make you feel right at home during your visit! I threw a couple of imposters in to fill out the shelf. These are from a 1500 car collection I am liquidating for a local collector. See you soon! NOTE: I have not inspected any of the radios...

Slap a UK license plate on it and call it a Corgi Vanguards! Announced for Sep-Dec 2023! Looks like they did change the wheels and reduced the size of the rear wing...

Hopefully, it will be a RHD version as built in Flat Rock, Michigan.
