In all honesty, it was the best fun of anything I've ever had on the road. It's been a few years, but hopefully next year, it'll be back and running

My word, I bet it could. Was it still a boxer? I know those things weren't the most powerful, but by heck they just wanted to keep going. And the *overrun*

I'm sure Mrs Catman could be persuaded, but it would be silly money

My 3200 is parked next to a mate's black 1.5 D reg Sprint in good condition which could possibly be for sale....

That must be a late 105 bhp Cloverleaf Edition, quite rare without lots of rust
Spare parts for Alfasuds in general are becoming very difficult to find nowadays...

The local Doctor had a silver one and I always turned my head when he went past....

 

[dem maser]

Let me know if the sprint becomes available and how much

Hmm, are they Alfatwo? I have some wheels, windscreen and tailgate in the garage. Anything I should look out for?

Had an 04 3.2 V6 GT kept it for five years - honestly the best car I've ever owned. I love the 4200 & the power is something else (although could always do with a little more ;-) ) but I properly miss the GT! Especially the 11 speaker Bose system! The sound was lovely, the drive was sure footed, fast & reassuring the the design, ageless! I doubt I'll ever get one again because I'll be disappointed compared to the one I sold last year!

The 4200 has only been gone for a couple of hours (at Dick Lovett for a service, don't worry) & miss looking out my window & seeing it from my front room! And yes, I park it where I can see it on purpose! There's nothing like a V8!

Interesting, snowflakes. I found my GT nose heavy, overly stiffly sprung and incapable of handling the power. The stereo was good, though.

I'm making it sound worse that it was, which is not my intention, but it wasn't the be all and end all IME.

C - agree it technically wasn't the be all, but you know sometimes you bond with a car ....... now I sound like a nut job
