[Milford Cubicle]

That's not as catastrophic as I would have guessed, I thought it'd be worth a lot less than the Granada.

Sounds cool!Is this you by any chance?http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/vintage-alfa/

[The Liberator]

There are more people on here who want an Alfa 6 than Alfa could find when then were selling them new.

 

Boobydoo, if you add a Sei to your collection, I will be unspeakably envious.

 

Edit: having seen the cars you already own kadams, I'll be equally envious if you bag one.

[kadams1970]

Won't we all? :)/K

[strangehighways]

Incredible car.

 

I think Alfas 'move' me more than any other real world Manufacturer. I was lucky to have owned a 164 V6 in the past, and it was the best car I've owned. The old Alfa V6 really is one of the all-time great engines. It probably sounded even better in the early 80s cars.

 

There are a couple of clips of the Alfa V6 I thought I would share with you....
