saw the video, must say, its sounds good and looked faster then it probably is? also the hard bushings? and so on, so I guess good for driving feel (direct), and a laugh at the body panel gap front hood... lol.
It was never that fast. My Corrado VR6 was much more accelerative but, with hindsight, I know where my money would have been better spent in pure investment terms.

Was tempted a few years back when they were 25k, not so much at triple that
I nearly picked a really good one up at £17k I lost my bottle and bought a V8 Audi before they became the brand of the bellend. Audi was brilliant, but was the worst car decision I've made. This is in my top 10 cars I want to own. Other V6 Alfas don't come close as an experince, short of the old racers.Silvanus said:

Hindsight is a wonderful thing though. We just do as we do and can't wind back the clock. Don't beat yourself up. You enjoyed the Audi so hold onto that.

Had a V6 Alfa GT eventually, absolutely loved it. Fantastic tan interior and a wonderful proper engine noise, but always wondered what could have been! Then I start imagining Montreals, and Lancia Hyenas
Hold onto the good things.The Busso V6 is an amazing thing. Not something I have ever owned.
The VR6 with VGI was pretty special but nothing like the Busso

thankfully she's car mad too, her current idea is to turn a mini cooper clubman into a mini campervan with top and trailer to tow a Cooper original. Sketches are awesome. Can't wait for first car time in 9 years.wpa1975 said:

It is not a factory car, they never made coupes it is aftermarket.
It was sold at Silverstone Auctions not too long ago, I forget how much it fetched.

I have always liked these, not sure why.

Great video. Harry M reviewed one a while ago:
I confess I never really watched his vids before but I might now.

Arent there zero body panels, and, importantly, zero headlights available for these?
Many parts for modern classics are NLA - even cars with 10s of thousands of units sold. Believe me I know the hard way....That's a bigger threat for long term existence of these sort of cars than any EV conspiracy theories... lack of parts, and specialists.
(i'd still have one of these regardless.... this thread has bumped it a couple of rungs up my fantasy garage mental spreadsheet definitely)
