    Just bought an Alfa GTV!

    Did a Top Gear - they spent £995 on one. I got mine for £900

    Looks great despite 98K's, but, sure to need a new exhaust and rear shocks as they are leaking.

    A lot of car for the money though - classic car insurance for only £230 as well as it is a second car.

    Will be a welcome change from my Focus at the weekends!

      Ha, says him with a rep mobile as his user name!

      2.0 - the best bet for a used car.

      The 3 litre has too much weight leading to a very unpredictable drive with old suspension parts.

      The 2 litre is scary enough - that is quite a beast!

        I've only owned 1 Alfa Romeo.

        A 164 3.0L Cloverleaf.

        I wish I'd never got rid of it!

        God I loved that car!

        The only problem was the number of boot lock covers I had to buy. People kept nicking 'em.

        Did I tell you that I loved that car?

          Rust Bucket and it will leak. Friend of mine just got rid of one fairly local to you. He had nothing but trouble with it.

            It doesn't matter.
