purplebargeken Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Oh my dear fucking deity of choice. That is bloody wow.
chatsharris Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 One of the engines you must own before you die apparently. I have a massive WANT for this.

crapcarcollector Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 As a serial Alfa licker I’ve been on the lookout for one of these for some time. Sadly I don’t think this one is for me (cheap tho).... GLWS, nice to see one here..... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
sam simmons Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Wait until you get the bill for a belt change though Only £600-£800 depending on where from experience.....i am playing russian roulette with my v6 atm
tul66 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Only £600-£800 depending on where from experience.....i am playing russian roulette with my v6 atmI know, but that's around the price you can get a car with one of these engines in it though.
SiC Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I know, but that's around the price you can get a car with one of these engines in it though.Even now? I've seen these proper Alfa v6's increase in value nowadays (unlike the GM junk in the 159 and later). Also a lot harder to find the cars with them too. Most have rotted or broken and scrapped.
J-T Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Bloody hell, thought that was my old one for a sec, same colour, plate, everything. They’re bloody lovely cars GLWTS Oh...and if you have a VAGCOM lead, download MultiECUscan for free (fiat/Alfa software), you can reset the airbag light with it
tul66 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I was offered a 24v GTV late last year for £800 in pretty good condition with a few months mot as it wouldn't sell for some reason. Did need a belt change though which is what put me off so they are still out there. I think it ended up in NI.
motorpunk Posted April 4, 2018 Author Posted April 4, 2018 Thanks for the kind replies.Belts were done fairly recently, there's a stack of invoices for the general upkeep of the car. All I've done is changed the coolant (which was clean when it came out anyway). The Moog and Aston Martin 2
motorpunk Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 Fuck me, best riffle ever. I have no idea how to raffle but am open to suggestions.
Tamworthbay Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 At £40ish a ticket I am not sure it would be a goer sadly.
motorpunk Posted April 15, 2018 Author Posted April 15, 2018 Bit of a bump for this, BMW threw a DPF warning light so I'll have to flog the Alfa fairly pronto. I'll get it back from the workshop late tomorrow and will throw a scratchy yellow sponge at it before eBaying it. That Busso engine ... oh my. I'm going to miss it.
Uncle Jimmy Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Ucking nice...stuck on barges though, I need space. Best engine sound evah. Seats were orrible though, all slippery.

Agree on engine sound. I love the seats; proper, thick leather. Driving position is typically Italian, legs short, arms long.
motorpunk Posted April 16, 2018 Author Posted April 16, 2018 £3000 to the ugly public, £2500 and free biccies to 'shiters. I hate selling cars.
motorpunk Posted April 18, 2018 Author Posted April 18, 2018 Now with one years MOT, no advisories. It's not perfect but it is great fun. Aston Martin and Dirk Diggler 2
motorpunk Posted April 20, 2018 Author Posted April 20, 2018 Forgot to say (but have amended original post), the airbag light has been reset now, its fault free
Pat Earrings Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Richard I have seen the video when you initially purchased the car. You seriously should be on TV. Only wish I could afford this beauty!

Thanks. I've been on TV a bit. Am waiting in for a plumber and a potential buyer, which one will cancel first? I wonder if I can pay the plumber with a GTV for fixing my leaky bog? Or, if he gets here first, if the car buyers knows about bogs? My life is full of mystery and wonder. Pat Earrings 1
