Anyone know this 147 GTA - GD04 JDJ

[minimadandy]

Hi All,

Im just about to purchase the 147 GTA listed above from a Fiat dealer near where I work. I was just douing a little bit of research on the net and found the advert from the last owner who was selling it a year ago. Im paying a fair bit more than he had it advertised for but thats the way it goes and im happy with what im getting if all checks out ok.

Does anybody know the car or have any recolection of it (ideally if one of the previouus owners is on here?) I couldnt really tell if it had had a bit of spray work. The chap selling it seemed very genuine and said that he hadnt had it sprayed but didnt know if any of the previous owners had. I couldnt see any accident damage or anything but it did appear a little orange peely (i dont know if this is commion on Alfas though?

The other thing was that some of the paint (particularly the skirts)had faded slightly (gone pinkish) and i believe this is common on the red ones. Does this come out ok with a decent paint renovator or t-cut?

Thanks
