Gorgeous car. Looks good in the pics, but you can't tell until you get at it. It's not vastly overpriced, bearing in mind its history, should be able to haggle down to 18k euros which would be a decent price if it's as good as it looks.

Lovely car!
cool
The price is not bad, but it's in Spain, and some of the mods may not make it legal for some UK events, but if it's just for fun that's not so important.

If you look on here:

There is a standard road one and also a competition one (last car).

If the car is good then this is a reasonable price - you do need ot check the spec` as previoulsy posted to make sure it is eligible for appropriate events (this can materially affect the price). Oh,and I think the wheels are wrong.

The wheels do look wrong, but I think that's because they've been painted white and have lost their hubcaps. I'm not enough of an alfa spotter to be able to confirm that though.

Yes lovely Car, I think the wheels in one shot are painted originals, but in the other they look like Minilites. Either would be fine to me.
The price is about right i'd say, but obviously it depends what it's like underneath. Nothing in the spec would rule it out of UK road rallies under HRCR rules as long as the modifications were applied to 'rally cars in the period entered' and it's a fairly loose interpretation in my experience.

If you really want an Alfa rally car, look out for a beautifull Red Guilia 1750GTV which cropped up on Ebay this month but didn't meet it's reserve. It would be substantially cheaper than the Guiletta and just as much fun
