I love it and I want it! Am I mad?? Will it dissolve in the rain and leave me like a jilted bride?

75s are pretty good at resisting rust, but you will come to hate the electrics, especially the alfa console in the middle.

Other than that, propshaft donuts wear, and gear linkages can be rubbish. rear brakes are inboard so a little more costly to repair than 'normal' ones.

Have a look at the other posts concerning the 75. The 3.0 is definitely the one to go for IMO. This one seems pretty cheap. I'm on my second one and have never had a single electrical problem. Buy one which has had any problems sorted out though. Post 1989 cars don't seem to rust at all and even earlier ones aren't too bad.

That looks like a great car!

It seems to have the interior from a late TS LE (recaros) which is much, much better than any usually fitted to a 3.0 75.

I would take a look and if it's a good one, buy it.

The Guy to talk to is Wayne Ellett of EMC Racing.
He makes Alfa 75s work and would know of a few good ones.
