Parisien - should not have shown me this. Apart from my beloved Maserati - this looks very interesting:

http://annunci.ebay.it/annunci/auto...a-155-turbo-16v-q4-r-i-a-r-o-permuto/23194697

Roughly £6.5k - haven't seen one for sale in blighty for a while. Do like a Q car!

Or even more fun for me:

http://annunci.ebay.it/annunci/auto/roma-annunci-roma/alfa-75-turbo-q-v-evo/30660013

Think I have a new favourite site to visit!!!

Just over £6K.......wow......as you say...you don't see them over here and only 20K miles on it

What a shame, they sure don't like people enjoying themselves do they??? What do we do now then, buy them all back for a song, any decent 2005 Spyders out there, going cheap of course???

it looks a little modded. - should be a 1.8 turbo with about 165bhp. if its the homologation special you can ring some serious horsepower out of it or just cut to the chase:

mysteriously the second one with the modded engine has now disappeared. I am officially addicted to Italian eBay. Nurse - medication please.

I had a look yesterday, the only car I spotted that looked well-priced was this Ghibli, although it'd need bartering.

There's over 200 cars for sale on here which are cheap for Italy, but not as cheap as here. We have the cheapest Maseratis in the world I believe, which we should be eternally grateful for. Our government gets nothing but criticism but I love the fact that 'normal' folk can afford to drive a supercar. We're the envy of the world.

There is an older thread on comparing the prices of GTs around the world Dicky............certainly we did well......to start with but with the current weak euro they aren't too overpriced in Euroland currently......but as for the registering/road taxing them it is punitive at the moment....and once theyv'e gone up do they ever come down?
