MattyB Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Thought it was about time I posted some pics and info Picked up at the weekend, its a 54 Alfa 147GTA, with every single option ticked:"Nuvelo White" paintXenonsOptional 18" ToorasHeated Leather Black/Black seats330mm Ferrari-sourced brakes (although these were actually standard on mine, being a later one)Mods :BMC CDA Autodelta CoiloversAngel remapEst. 265bhp.Its more than I wanted to spend, but I'm unbelievably happy with it - after owning raw drivers cars for the past 4.5 years its fantastic to get something comfortable with huge amounts of power and torque whenever you want it. And those noise is just stunning. Its such an amazing car to look at in the flesh...More pictures...SideRearRear2FrontFront2Interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
