Hi Dennis and welcome. .... where in Malta are you, my wife was born there in 1959 in Imtarfa. Maybe next time we visit we can get to see some 75 owners...

Hi Dennis and welcome..
Just curious but now do you find the parts situation in Malta if things go wrong with your car. If a spring suddenly went or an exhaust needs replacing can you get these things sorted on the day or do you have to wait a few days for parts to arrive from mainland Europe.
Take care from a very envious John in soggy Wales.

Hi Dennis, Just to tell you there is a car enthusiast day on sunday 27 April at Mellieha, family park, from 09:30 until 13:30. Looking forward to going myself as I live in Mellieha. John.

Thinking of moving to Mellieha next year, my Sis and her boyfriend live there, I love the place, Billy's is a particular favourite... :-)

Hi Andy, Mellieha is a great place. You mentioned Billys, Billy passed away last Monday, his funeral took place at the church in the square this afternoon at 15:00, quite a few attended.

This is the day to be in Mtarfa if you were born in the military hospital (David Bruce)

Got back from Malta on Saturday, nice to meet with Slokie and Mrs Slokie, wish we could have had more time but my Mrs was ill for a couple of days which made a mess of any plans... Next time John

Seriously thinking of moving out there...

Arrived last week for another two week break but I'm really surprised wIth the lack of 75's this time. I've only spotted two so far in a week.
I've spotted more Bentleys than 75's. Still a few R8 convertibles (400's)

I've even spotted a Riva 75. I bet you want to know what that looks like, well I'll post a photo when I get back but in the meantime I will keep you guessing.

Just to give you a clue this one certainly does not let water leak into the boot.

I am not jealous at all, ....much......errrr.....a touch.....

Actually .....very jealous...

Enjoy the break. I have not been myself but my folks have and my mum's late friend's hubbie flew for the RAF in Malta during WW2. The history of the seige of Malta during that period makes fascinating reading. Don never spoke much about his war time exploits but said to me he was lucky not brave.
Anywhere in the Mediterranean would do me...

Have a good time

RIVA 75?? would stab a guess at a rather large boat
