Discussion
Daily Volvo is giving me a bit of gip, sold an Alfa 146 in the week.
Tried to buy a couple of sub £500 147’s locally, missed one, messed about by the seller on the other.
A mate who knew I was looking messaged me this morning, a mate of his was selling a gt, messages were swapped and a trip to Southport was taken as was a test drive.
Bought it.
Not exactly sub £500, exactly £500.
Short mot, I have given it a good look and can see nothing it would fail on, under the bonnet is a tuning box, been there many years, boy does it pull, full black leather, massive boot, climate, cruise.
Best equipped and most modern Alfa I have owned, roll on Thursday collection day.

Absolutely gorgeous 
I miss mine, I'd probably still have it if it was written off by a drunk driver.
Ironically I've been recently checking AT looking for a V6. I'll bide my time for the right one at the right time.
I look forward to your updates
Thank you, she sure is a looker, possibly controversial but exterior for me is better than the brera.I miss mine, I'd probably still have it if it was written off by a drunk driver.

A friend drove me up to Scotland years ago in his V6, effortless and a great soundtrack.
First jobs will be the outer door handle spring, glovebox release catch and an extended crawl about underneath.

Like the car dislike the wheels, don't ask me why but I have always thought that multi spoke style wheel has looked to fussy on an Alfa. Either way great value.
I keep my cars ‘tidy’ and look after the mechanicals, really don’t do cleaning much, the wheels strike fear into me with all those spokes.waynedear said:

Seem to be about 3-4 times as many diesels about as Petrols. And the petrol are just that bit more expensive/ less cheap!

Picking it up at 9am tomorrow, I have even swept and tidied the garage.
