I'll admit I don't know a lot about these, but I can't believe how cheap it is.

The Fiat Coupe has a decent boot and rear seats as it has a simpler rear suspension set up than the GTV 916.
I think the floorpans corroding are a bigger concern than rusty spring pans.
There's a V6 on Autotrader for just over £5K. It seems an Alfa specialist has undersealed it so hopefully underseal hasn't just been applied to hide rust and it seems like the car had the 'blue' option interior with the blue coloured dash moulding and pale blue leather but a previous owner has painted the seats and door card arm rest thing red. It's a Phase 2 one with the electronic throttle cable and not a later CF3 that had cats in the headers and the ECU bolted to the back of the plenum abover the rear cat.

Probably because it is the total antithesis of modern cars. Mechanically simple with just enough kit to make it useful and reasonably peppy engine wrapped in a car that will pretty much do everything that a car needs to do to fit the brief for not a lot of money. Looks quite smart if you ask me. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165959730069?mkcid=16&a...

It's an MPVIt's a Vauxhall
Yes it works as basic transport but that shouldn't be enough
Both of you had better be over 60

Suspension arms are consumables on those. The spring pans on the back rust through though it seems the part could've been designed and made differently to make them perhaps less rust prone. The rear axle is a complex set up with many Rose Joints. A solution is to replace them with Polybushes but some opine they then don't drive as nicely as with the OE Rose Joint set up. Polybushes are a fit and forget replacement for the Rose Joints that will need doing again eventually.

If I was capable of spanning myself I would love a GTV as cheap daily. Such a pretty car.The Fiat Coupe has a decent boot and rear seats as it has a simpler rear suspension set up than the GTV 916.

That it is.I noticed this earlier today, however, I also noticed this for £1,500 more and can't help but think it would make for a much much better car.
Less miles, double the power, better to drive and old enough to not be too modern.

Six and a half THOUSAND pounds.
For that.

Sorry to multi-quote, and I know times are hard, but I think we all need to take a step back for a moment.

Which to me seems realistic.Six and a half THOUSAND pounds.
For that.
Prices of the E46 have gone up.
Spend £3k and you'll get a high mileage, rusty 330i.
The extra £3-3.5k on top of that for a genuine low owner, low mileage car in fantastic condition would to me, be money well spent.
