Hi All,
I'm a bit surprised this is my first post as I've been on the forum various times and first test drove a 4200 back in 2009 - alas work, family and house have very much got in the way since! I now (have just about convinced myself) I have the time to actually take the plunge though (garage empty ready and waiting), and having weighed up various options over the last few months, I will be viewing this facelift 4200 tomorrow:

It looks pretty keenly priced but I will try a haggle. It sounds pretty clean and whilst its hard to suss the service history over the phone... I think there's been a clutch in the last 10k miles. How it got part ex'd to a very mainstream dealer I'm not sure... but I guess at a specialist it would be quite a few k more so if it is clean...
Anyone recognise this one or have any suggestions for the viewing? I've been over most of the guides on here but any specifics always appreciated. I know my way around motors in general... this will swap out a slightly boring Audi (though also a 4.2 V8)... but looking forward to returning to Italian ownership having had various Alfa's over the years... always kinda regret selling a smart GTV Cup but it was always supposed to be replaced with one of these!
Any tips appreciated,
Cheers,
Chris
