Re: [alfa] 3-point seat belts

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Group:

The first US Spider's to come equipped with 3-point belts were the 
'82's.  I've got all the R&T road tests, and can clearly see in the '80 and 
'81 test cars only lap belts.  Not sure how Alfa got away with that for so 
long, though.  I had a '69 XKE and also a '73 MG, both with 3-points from 
the factory.

Regards,

Dean
