Most Italian cars are great looking, even the budget stuff like Puntos and Seicentos

Most of them start out good looking though! There doesn't seem to be any middle ground in Italy.

Nice - if I was brave enough I'd have had one of these ages ago. TBH - they are only starting to make financial sense now that their prices have hit rock bottom.

Hell of a lot of car for little money. I feel sorry for anyone that bought one new though, ridiculous residual value. I'm happy with it. Already ordered a beanie hat with Alfa logo on it, as a way of a head mod.. :D

Congrats. The interior looks cracking on them. The back seats look better than most cars front ones. Best of luck with it.

Cheers... The back seats are indeed very comfortable. Can't wait till the missus gets the body cast off, then she can chauffeur me about... :D
