Yes it’s mine and the wife refuses to drive it. Probably the only 4c in the world that’s converted with hand controls for a disabled driver as I’m paralysed from the waist down.

How on earth do you manage to get in and out? I sat in one at Goodwood last year and I struggled.Brilliant that you can though. Good on you.

Lets hope so, may have a look this weekend but its an appointment only garage and I have my little one this weekend. I like to browse without pressure also.
Does anyone have a guide/link to a guide of what to look for?
Check everything works, I would be expecting at that price immaculate Does anyone have a guide/link to a guide of what to look for?
Were the belts, water pump, pulleys and variator changed with the new engine, 3 years/36k
Check the floorpan very carefully
Some pics from my drive in the Quadrifoglio from the UK to Liguria. Lots of love for the Giulia in Italy and Switzerland.

Hey guys! Finally back on PH! Last time I posted I had a shabby 206. A year and a half later and I've treated myself to a 2006 Alfa 147 Twin Spark 1.6. It's bloody fantastic! So much fun, very rev happy, pulls well for a 1.6 and handles like a dream. Here's a link to my longer article on Drivetribe for anyone interested!

We've just done a similar thing. 3500 miles round France, Italy and Switzerland. Incredible.Echo the attention the car got QV got all round, but surprised to have only seen one other QV on the trip, especially in Italy.
Thanks for the kind comments - it's been my year-round daily-driver for the past 12 + years. It's been scrupulously maintained and, mechanically speaking, it is an absolute peach of a car.
However, it had gathered a few superficial blemishes, including the obligatory rusty wings, and the nice gent over the road gently reversing into it (on the basis that "you don't normally park there". Apologetic but, somehow, ever so slightly accusatory at the same time) but, with the new paint job, the exterior is now absolutely immaculate.

My recently purchased run around, a bargain at £2495 in a private sale.
1.4tb 155bhp model with the bigger Brembo brakes. 53k and the usual lusso spec interior.
I've had two new tyres, wheels refurbed and a stainless exhaust in the last couple of months to start the tidy up. It's a really fun little car!
