I'm not adverse to spannering, look forward to getting my hands dirty. The one on Gumtree for £1599 would be ideal but it's a base model, we're it an SR it would be on my drive now. Are all the semi autos SE trims? I have only seen them in SE spec rather than SR. SE spec means I lose the goodies I am used to on my GT, reverse sensors, climate, leather etc

I am conscious they are a specislist choice when new and the lack of a dealer network will put many buyers off, add into the mix the diesels will not qualify for the emissions exemptions in major cities, and the cars are 8 or 9 years old based on a design another three years older, and so they will not appeal to many and that is reflected in the trade price. £3.5K is Giullietta money. So I guess I am an enthusiastic circling vulture....

Looking good

OK, cheers.

I did bid on both, but price went a bit higher than planned once buying fees were added. The Walsall car had a couple of declared faults so did not want to go too high. The blue twin sunroof was in very good nick and was bound to go for more than I was prepared to pay. On a forecourt in Tamworth for £5k within a week, had to be reduced before it sold though.

Hi, I did have that thought on the 1.6, depends on insurance though, mods and a speeding ticket do not mix!

Hi, not a Delta owner yet but working on it. Better introduce myself first, I have been a Lancia owner four times (Delta, Dedra, Thema x2) before being forced to mover to Alfa, and much as I love my Alfa GT it is time to say good bye, but in no great rush it all still works fine. So the hunt begins, missed out on two at auction, one went for £1800 in BCA Walsall six months ago and blue double sunroof 1.6SR at Birmingham for £2400, so I have an idea of what the trade think of them and have no plans to buy from a dealer at £5k, especially as the Alfa will be worth little. Not adverse to DIY as the Alfas have, prepared me well. Just a little unsure of the driving experience after being used to the Alfas being engaging, but then again I should be slowing down a bit and wafting rather than hurtling. So like all of us, a Momo S or a 2.0 LTD for around a grand in grey should do me nicely, lol

any idea how much it went for?
