Wow. That looks even better on the 16's imho, one of the nicest looking Spiders I have seen in a long time.

I used to sell these new!!

Thanks smile

I previously had two 145 Cloverleaf models (one red, one mint black example - sold to Philip on here), a 147 GTA when they very first came out, plus a new GTV back in the day. My favourite older Alfa was the 145. It was great fun, raw, just a hoot.

This new Mito is great fun with sharp steering and lots of turbo shove (for a small car). But it is also very easy to live with - quiet (turbo woosh aside), comfy, lots of toys, great MPG. I got a semi bargain compared to the new owner. Mine is at 18k miles, still under warranty, about half retail price, came with the optional £4k seats fitted for hardly any extra. A great used buy overall so I'm happy so far.

Ta muchly! yes The old girl has certainly got 'character', much of which will need sorting out in the next few years.... never selling though, so its not as if there is a rush.
I guess the ride is more comfortable on 16s too?

My GTV Ts Lusso...



...two owners from new (one being an Alfa OC guy from Bristol way, the other his nephew), original bill of sale £17,883 loads of history including a £2,000+ suspension and engine overhaul in August of this year. All the hand books, keys and new tyres.

£570

£17,313 depreciation in twelve years? yikes

I'll be able to afford a 4C in a few months. hehe

I feel for the guy as the car has been so well looked after all her life but due to the age, mileage, colour (even though I think 400B is the best colour the GTV came in) and the popularity of the Spider (try finding a decent Spider Ts Lusso for under £1,500) mean the GTV's are a bargain right now. smile

Silly money when you can have this...

...instead.

I was looking for a Punto HGT or another Fiat Coupe but so glad I got the Alfa. woohoo

The only issue I have is where the stereo was fitted it nipped a wire to the heater fan causing a fuse to blow. This fuse was replaced by a higher amp one (30 instead of a 10?) and the loom cooked a bit and the fuse box has melted around it causing the rear heated screen to fail as well. Not the end of the world and a weekends worth of work stripping the dash, replacing burned wires and making new fuse holders a some point she'll be perfect again. smile

Had the tweaked Spider by the Eiffel Tower picture put onto canvas c/o my pal Fraser.

Love it. The TV is 48" to help give you an idea of scale biggrin

Just bought this on Saturday. My first car purchase, ever. 1984 Spider Veloce.





Purchased for $1,400 USD (£870).

Looking forward to the adventures of Alfa ownership! biggrin
Lovely, well done. I adore Spiders. Even when they are yellow:




Caught in action.


Lovely cars: easy to drive - be carefull with 2nd gear - and quick enough.


Most prefer the Duetto. But the later models do please me more. The fuel injected cars broaden the engines powerband which I prefer.

Just got into my first alfa recently. A 2006 156 JTS sportwagon. Had to change the belts but so far loving it. Even the wooded steering wheel has grown on me.

I'm not the only gay in the village!



The car at the rear is a 1973 1600 GT Junior owned by a guy who lives a half mile away! What are the chances of there being 2 classic Bertone GT's in one small village?



Front car is my 1750 GTV and my Spider in the middle.

Photos from our annual 11 November "All quiet on the Western Front" run.
