Missed out on the cheap AS GS300 last October? Here's the change to own a very similar example at a similar bargain price. Worth it all day long:

Sadly, 'tis gone. That's worth it just for the 2JZ engine. Someone will buy that and steal the engine. They're very sought after - very tunable, bags of torque.

I can proudly say I owned one of these. Absolute nightmare. There's a reason you don't see them on the road.

Brake issue? Budget £900 for that. Every single thing that went wrong with it (and it did) cost a fortune. It's worse than Mercedes and BMW not being able to get pattern parts. Everything only ever seemed to be available from Alfa.

No 2JZ in this one, this is the generation when Toyota replaced their i6s with V6s, rock solid engines as well. But yeah, the previous gen GS300 had been ridiculously cheap for what you got as well.

Ah ok. 3GRs? The 2GR was the one to have - GS350/IX350. Don't know much about the 3s.

I see also from your thread you've enjoyed the quirks of an Alfa. Not have a 146 like the one mentioned above?

Says only problem is heater fan stopped working.

Now the HBOL says you need to drop the steering column plus possible the clutch pedal to get to it assuming you are also a contortionist.

Actually you can get at it in less than 10 minutes without any of that fucking about if you know how. 

Would if I wasn't currently 2000 miles away.

Just the 166 of this parish with the same engine (2l TS), and my 3.0 166. Although I do like the looks of the 146!

I'll be honest, it was better looking and more practical IMHO than the 145. Quite rare too.

Someone used to have one of these up the road when I was a kid. Both rear doors were sporting an England flag for the (2006?) World Cup but they became a permanent fixture thereafter. 

How come I can remember that but not why I just walked upstairs? 

Interacting with a Sintra causes PTSD.
