Hopefully be an owner of a 4200cc soon.... Just a weekend car as my Giulietta MA makes more sense on the daily commute across Belfast...
Found lots of useful info so far( thanks everyone) and ill post up whatever i buy.

welcome aboard cas. similar thinking to me, I've kept my alfa gt for daily work, makes absolute common and good sense but once you get the maser you will find many, many reasons to go against common sense and will find yourself driving it to tesco just to take her out!

Welcome, Mark. Another Alfa fan here from NI who has made the transition to Maser. But I use mine as a daily driver. Highlander is right.....you think of places to go even if you don't really need to go there! Post some photos when you take delivery.

Welcome Cas. Can you tell me about the Guilietta. Thinking about taking a 2l JTDM on lease. The Alfa GT JTD IS ABOUT TO HIT 70k and it's starting to cost to keep her going.

Are they any good? Drove a Mito and hated it.

Love the Giuli .... Friend is partner in a computer company and he is taking a 170ma tct on 2 year lease rather than the diesel...emissions are low so it works for him... I still get 38 mpg whatever way i drive and easy to stick a good tuning box/re map to get the 1.4 up to 200 ish... Wife has a mito 0.9 twin air.. Ok on short runs but "bouncy" to me... giuli completely different.... Ive 68k up in 3 years inc road/wine trip to our place in N Tuscany last summer... Would have another right away.... But with tct..

Ok, not seen that one for sale. Saw another one at MC Garages in Northwich but looks like Azzurro or in the pics.

I don't know the car I don't think, I'm over at Autoshield today, I assume it's still there so I'll have a look.
