60k for a 40 year old replica!!



I know nothing about the cars though, to be fair.

Hi Paul;

When I was in the trade, we restored a Giulietta back to showroom condition.

The same as this one.

I loved that car!

I feel the same, although who knows what people might think to them in 40 years time, the Brera might result in a classic, who knows.

£60K is perhaps too much, I have no idea.

If I had £60k today though, I'd be tempted....

No idea what sort of money these fetch, but I think they are gorgeous looking cars.

Stop it! Stop it now!

I so nearly bought a Bertone GTV back in the early 80's. Beautiful car. Plus the LSD meant you could donut it from standstill in it own length.

Beautiful - a much more savvy use of £85k than the £60k of the replica.

I love 'em, used mine as an only car in London for 3 years. But (for me) like any classic car, only buy one with restored bodywork...

Giulia Alfas are so well suited to being used every day and on track - punchy twin cam, 5 speed box, 4 wheel disc brakes, properly located rear axle, never overheat, great style, fantastic driving feedback...

And 2000 GTVs have an LSD and a few little modern touches - ergonomically designed seats (apparently only the fourth car ever sold with properly designed seats), remote boot release, passenger vanity mirror laugh
