1 owner Corona EXiV available in Ireland. Currently on hold, if it becomes available again I'll be along to see it

Holy crap, there is another one around after all! How much was it advertised for? The interior is just as brown as in mine, lovely!

It was €1500. Bought new by an Irish pilot in Japan who brought it home in 99. It looked to be a total gem. Sold this morning :(

I rather like this, though. Enough to ask the seller about the MOT, as the ad neglects to mention it at all.

The ad says MOT May 2021? Maybe they changed it...

Not surprised it sold this quickly, where can you find an unusual enthusiast car in great condition for that little money!

Just back from viewing this. Plate is WP53 TWG, MOT history is patchy but not utterly terrible.

Went like fuck, being a 2.0 in a smoll car. However, a few issues. Utterly crap handbrake, flashing odometer (apparently due to replacement climate controls not being coded to the car) and, most strangely, the gear stick doesn't centre properly. You have to push it to the right to get it into 3rd. Could just be a spring? I need to research it.

 

I said to the seller I'd get back to him. The old boy is a proper shiter though. Yard littered with an X-type, a Saab 9-3, and a Suzuki Vitara. In the barn he had a Bedford CF camper. Said Bedford is the reason he's selling the Alfa. He smashed his pelvis because he fell off a ladder working on the roof of the camper, and the cane he was hobbling about on confirmed it. What automatic gearboxed car has he bought to drive around in though? A P38, which was in his garden with the bonnet up. Legend.

Alfa handbrakes being shit isn't anything that new, not quite Peugeot or BMW levels though. I've often found they tend to feel okay and then don't hold the car at all.

Self centering of the gearstick isn't a huge worry. Annoying though. That's a Fiat group trait. My mum's Panda did it, and it wasn't even 5 years old at the time.

Yeah, I researched the gear stick. Take battery out and disassemble the selector and grease it generously is the solution.

The MOT history has me slightly concerned though. Various advisories in the very recent MOT for bushes and suspension components, corrosion on the underside of the body, and fuel lines. Plus cracked tyres and worn/pitted brakes all round. Probably be a good couple of hundred quid on top to get all that sorted. Plus, you'd still have air con that doesn't blow cold and an annoying blinking odometer.

Meanwhile I got back into the 316 and it doesn't have anything wrong with it. Yes, its MOT history is worse, but I've since sorted most of the advisories.
