Very nice. What's that dial in the passenger footwell?

Edited to add, just realised its for the airbags.

I think it's the passenger air bag on/off switch. Turned off when using child seat etc.

Are they TOYO tyres? They look good. How are they on an ALFA? I have them on my TVR and Bridgestones on my ALFA 156. Always used Pirelli on my 164. My TOYOs are due replacement so not sure what to use.

That's beautiful, the one from PH Classifieds recently? That's made me even more excited to be collecting mine next Sunday. The engine bay looks clean enough to eat your dinner off!

It was OK when I picked it up but just needed a clean and polish and buff up..........I do like the V6..They don't make em like that any more....It looks stunning not like these modern engines with all that plastic over them....

Keep thinking about doing our wheels that colour but fear the black with dark wheels will be to much.

Cant believe how straight the doors are - not one parking ding. Lucky man! My Spiders bodywork looks like the surface of the moon.
There are a couple which you can only see at certain angle so they don't stand out which is good..
