Nice!

Is it the facelift model with a slightly different nose?

[CedA4]

No, I it's the old small triangle shaped grill.

It's the one that was advertised on here.

I was put of by the miles but was so impressed by the history, and the seller.

I'm really looking forward to getting it now.

Thats the way to do it. Too many people are put off by Alfa's with over 100k miles. I see all the things that are needed around 100k have been done. I got stung with my 156 V6 when i first bought it, and had to have pretty much all the things that have been changed on your car (about £2k's worth!)

Since then though it gave me 2.5 years good service - i thrashed it always up until the point it was written off (not my fault!)

Enjoy mate!

Congratulations - you've got yourself a fantastic car in a great colour combo

[Alfachick]

Ah yes the best colour combo! Very nice choice sir

My bro has the v6 in silver and all red interior. Great car but the seats are horrendous!

[wadgebeast]

Each to their own - I have issues with many car seats, but find my momo ones just fine until about 3 hours in, which is time for a break anyway.

Got it last night, lovely drive home, and again this morning.

Now i'm about 5'10" and the seating position and feel seems fine, although I'll reserve judgement for a long run, however it does seem there maybe a knack needed to get in without squashing the left leg under the steering wheel. Maybe the old seat right back trick i used to have to do in the TVR getting in and out.

It gets the wash and brush up of it's life on saturday (not that it needs too much done).

So pictures on Sat/Sun.

No pic's yet due to the worlds worst case of Man Flu ever recorded.

That and I have my son's Birthday bowling party this afternoon.
