Well, the faithful old Jag failed its MOT spectacularly, meaning I had to get another practical-ish car. I owned my last Alfa for nearly 6 years (a zoe yellow spider) and managed to find a lovely cosmo blue 147 GTA yesterday, which I've just gone and bought today.

Even the missus said it would be nice to have another Alfa back in the family.

Great cars I would have had one if a decent one was available, but love my gt just as much. The best thing about these 3.2 busso's is that the cost of running them is offset by the lack of depreciation. There aren't many about so values seem to be close to bottoming out now and going the other way.

Enjoy.

Did the same thing myself just over a year ago when I was tempted back by a late model 147GTA in black. I had a Q2 diff fitted which makes a massive difference, should have been fitted as standard. Alfa's just seem to get in the blood, and the heart.smile

Was that the one in Scotland? Don't know if the seller used it as bait but I was second in line for it if you didn't want it. I even tried to gazump you but the seller being a gent offered you first refusal. Must say it looked like a cracking example and great value considering what has been done to it. I'm not jealous at all.....
