I hope that everyone's having a great Christmas whatever the circumstances. I was sort of wondering if anyone received any presents appropriate to their love of our cars? For my part, my family obviously know me too well. This has to be one of the best presents they've ever bought for me. IMG_202112...

It certainly looks like it'll be a happy time for me!
All the best to Alfisti everywhere.

Absolutely disgusted. End of.
Watched this 'entertainment' with an open mind hoping that there was a successful outcome and another one could be saved. What a joke.

Yep. You're right Tony. And up in the clouds with happiness.
Dinitrol applied. Excitement ongoing. What a car. The 146 was never one of Alfa Romeo's most popular offerings, but it'll do for me.

Got the beast polished and waxed ready for winter today. I'm still in a state of disbelief that I actually managed to get hold of this car.
The Dinitrol rust protection got delivered this morning so guess what I'm up to tomorrow?

Dinitrol cavity wax and underbody seal ordered today. Hell, I've got to keep this car alive!!!

I don't see why not to be honest Kev. Low mileage, fastidious service record, all belts, tensioners, spark plugs and variator done and no rust.
First job when it lands will be to underseal it to keep it that way!

Pictures as promised. Collect her on Monday next week. The images don't do the car justice as the saying goes as they were taken by a rubbish mobile phone but wow! What a car! A real time-warp machine! IMG_1395.JPG IMG_1398.JPG IMG_1396.JPG IMG_1403.JPG IMG_1404.JPG IMG_1416.JPG IMG_1417.JPG IMG_142...

Right, after what seems like a long, long wait I'm due to collect the 146 at the beginning of next week. Stand by for pictures....

Well, it appears that good things come to those who wait. My 146 Junior is now not available until October 1st. The vendor's gone off on holiday to France*. Ah, well.... :roll: On the plus side, he put the car through the MOT Test before he went and it passed with no advisories whatsoever. Not bad a...

Either way Lou you'll be doing someone a favour by offering spares and parts to keep an existing car on the road or else rescuing another.

looking forward to hearing about it mate

Well, yes.... It was.

Deal sorted. Watch this space.....

As if I needed any further convincing!

Kev. I think you're right!

Coincidentally, I've just discovered browsing through my private collection today that the car that I'm interested in is exactly the same spec and colour as these official Alfa Romeo Press Release photographs:

As far as I'm aware Keith, there's no known cure. Thank goodness.

You're right Junior. The crankshaft position sensor springs to mind, they always fail at some point, as do saggy rear shock absorbers but that's about it. Cheap as chips to fit as preventative measures though. You know what? I'm going to go for it. Watch this space for pictures. According to the 'Ho...

Twin Spark. I have had a number of 145/6s in the past and loved them but I've heard arguments that at that low mileage it'd be a shame to add any more to the car and keep it as some sort of museum piece.
Cars are for driving, right?

OK, so having an Alfasud Sprint Sprint as my ideal car, which will be tucked away in the garage for use only on high days and holidays after its resto', I've suddenly got the urge to go all 'retro' for my everyday driver. I now have the chance to buy an Alfa 146 Junior which, because of its provenan...

The Alfasud Ti that I owned for over ten years and sold a few years ago is for sale again. The present owner lives in Surrey. 07596 029451.

No I don't but would appreciate being able to have a chat with him.
The car seems familiar. I think it was previously badged as an ARNA?
Cheers Shrew.

Not Ed Rattley is it?

Appreciated! It's a lovely example and for sure the owner deserves the credit.

Seen recently at Spring Alfa Day. Info on owner needed for photo caption in a forthcoming magazine article. Thanks in advance.
