The day I bought my 8C

such a gorgeous car

I'm slightly scared of driving it if I'm honest! It is a single piece carbon fibre shell. Not sure how easy it would be to fix!!!!!

What could have been eh?



I took this Fiat 124 Spider for a test drive the other week (even though at six two I couldn't get the seat in a comfortable position). If this had the Alfa 1750 turbo in there it would easily be one of the best cars in the world right now.

The original plans for the joint venture with Mazda were for the FCA car to be an alfa spider as well...

I think that is the first pic of the giulia which i think looks rather unflattering, the big wide bumper really looks humongous like that

Still, a QV....

Epic!! Have you written anything on your experience of ownership?

For me this car easily stands out in the supercar world, it is really a thing of beauty.

My second Alfa the first was a limited edition 164 2ltr in Green with green mouldings and bumpers rather than the usual grey.

[arguti]

My favourite Alfa but need to spend some time driving it!

[bilo999]

Never had a car as long and has got under my skin - part of the family.

My 159 2.4 JTD ti and missus Mito

Some fantastic posts this week chaps!

[250GTE]

Sadly I don't own an Alfa at the moment , fortunatley my wife does !

[jamies30]

Embarrassingly, I've not had mine out of the garage yet this year.

This is one of my favourite pictures from last year though - just a standard day in the car park at work...

Here is mine, up for sale on ebay if anyone is after a decent 147.

Now have an Abarth 500

That is a lovely looking car - what springs are on it as it sits perfectly. Good luck with the sale.

Maybe some day, spotted this at my local Alfa dealer.

Is that the one that was in the showroom at Donald Mackenzie in Inverness

I'm slightly ashamed to say I haven't driven it much. I also own the green '73 Giulia GTV pictured a couple of posts up coming down the Splügen pass which I drive much more. The pic was taken by my friend driving in a 550 Maranello. It was late enough in the day to be quiet on the pass, and we had a great run. I love the 8C, it's such an occasion just starting the engine, but......I prefer driving the GTV! Sorry everyone, this has nothing to do with its flaws, it actually drives pretty well. It sounds epic, the best I have ever owned. But the GTV is more accessible, and that matters these days. I will try harder!

Here's my two, both in need of some cosmetic attention which will be carried out over the summer.

GTV 3.0 V6 24V Aerokit:


75 2.0 T.Spark LE:

It sure was! Seen it on Monday it's gone but has been replaced by a 4C today. I could have looked at it all day.

Bookmarking this thread for future emergency life-affirment. Likely tomorrow when the 164 fails its MOT.

Here is said 164, which is on the Reader's Cars page undergoing rolling refurbishment:

[johntennyson]

Y'know, I can tell you why I like Lotuses (clever simplicity and chassis performance) or my Miata (sports car fun with Corolla-like durabillity) or my Mustang (a big, torquey Golden Retriever of a car), but I still can't put a finger on why I love Alfas


and I've had this one since 1993!

The Abarth rally version does, actually.

Fantastic additions recently. Thx!
