The Best ///M/Barge/General Rant/Look at this/O/T(Vol XVIII)

Yep, that's very, very nice... proper period colour too.

I looked at buying a GTA or a Junior, but I don't have a garage, and it's not the sort of car that will stand outside, and only get used occasionally.

Had a really good look round an Alfaholics GTA-R a few years ago at the London Classic car show... just stunning... but it was over £200k, and there are many more cars I'd drop that sort of money on (if I ever had it).

GTA's are stunning, for me though......

Sigh. I passed on one of those for £4K just before I got the Frog. IIRC it had the 2L engine and various tasteful upgrades from Alfaholics and the like. Had been put together for some Alpine hooning. In the end I decided I wanted a convertible of some sort.

Regrets? I've had a few.

Mmmm... that interior is lovely



Just needs the bumpers removing and a set of Alfaholics alloys (that look like period steelies).

And maybe a 2 headlmap front end, a 2l engine and brakes & suspension if needed.

My credit card would be ruined after 6 months

Not that far down! Lovely things!

Looks like that 106 XSi was sold... anyone going to own up?

That was quick. I was actually just looking for the ad here again.

Think it was well-priced and had >100 watchers on eBay, before it disappeared.

People seem to want that money for a 50/60k GTi so although it had more miles, it was effectively rebuilt, looked in good condition and had a cracking engine spec. And they're very, very rare these days. Especially non-sunnies.

Although mine has been resprayed, I don't think I'll see much change out of £8k when I'm finished, so I did wonder whether to cut my losses and get into that one and 'reduce the spec' on the other, or swap bits about but was too slow.

[L100NYY]

Not surprised it sold tbh, did look a lovely example.

Anyhoo, today I want another S1 Elise

I love it!

However, I've always envisaged mine would be Broom Yellow. Imola Blue is lovely though

Always fancied one of these. No idea where to start when it comes to choosing one. Feel free to give me some clues.

Suspiciously cheap? Looks great though

Saw an identical Evora yesterday.....which then led me to PH classifieds.....which I then looked at that very car last night (online).....spooky

Ad is a tad sparse to say the least.....I'd want to know more about service history, clutch etc but having driven one with more miles and been VERY impressed with how it stood up to the miles I would say it is worth investigating
