Certainly looks like an Alfa.. typical Italian to be honest, lurking in the corner smoking wink

Yep - Alfa Romeo Brera. Lurking in the corner smoking. It's probably on fire......

It's one of 250 Prodrive 3.2L cars. Lightened with uprated suspension. Been looking for one for ages. Heavy, slowish, probably on fire.......but mint and very low mileage, soooo lovely to look at too. Bit of an investment. Should get my money back by 2050. smile

Paddy's going to give it the once over and seal it. Hope he doesn't take all the paint off it......

I used to have an Alfa 156 sportwagon (2.5 v6). Loved it to bits, great engine and reliable too. Would have it back in a flash

Looks lovely. Two Alfa man here, both V6s obviously. Superb cars that are hugely underrated and have a touch of the specialness that we all love so much about our Astons.

Very nice smile

As JC would say "you're not a true petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa".

Great looking car, congratulations.

Used to have a 147, absolutely loved it. First car I bought new and bits started falling off on day 2. Still would though!

A beautifully designed car. I also like your tongue in cheek negativity.

I used to have an Alfasud 1.5 Ti Green Cloverleaf. I paid eighteen hundred quid for it in about 1990. Loved it to bits despite most things not working. Had to get the Brera, beautiful car.
