All they need is a 4.1 diff change to make them great cars..

Pffft

By a 2.5 ... any alfa purist who has driven mine has always had a lot of difficulty in giving it back and i have been offered over 15k for it
so they can't be that bad ... my word of advice the interior trim in them is pretty average that would need to be changed to a TS or 3l interior.

Can supply one for a fairly cheap price:P

aw shucks Paul ... but as you insist!
It appears to be in pretty good nick mechanically but in need of some TLC and a tidy up.
ciao.

Thanks John G,

I'm happy with what I've got - it wont get messed with.
I reckon Paul knows that too 

Cheers,
Peter

Peter,

It's plain to see that Paul is just having a bit of fun with you being the big kid that he is and personally  I hope he never grows up.

Jokes aside, I am serious about the differential but like you, I wouldn't advocate making any changes and give yourself time to really get acquainted with the car. Once you are satisfied that you are all dialled in, see if you can drive someone else's vehicle that has the dif change in it for comparison and make your mind up then.

Not sure if this is an event that the Vic club has but the Qld club has car swap days when you can  drive other people's cars to get an idea of how a certain model you have never owned drives like. This would be that sort of opportunity I am talking about.

Otherwise, congratulations  for scoring one of Alfa's finest.

Cheers, MD

Mike,

Actually, I reckon Paul is serious too.
As for the swap days, I could warm to the idea but not aware of them occurring here. Anyway, there is a definite paucity of subject material :-(
Why not pop down for the Alpine Tour and who knows we might be able to give it a go.
But my navigator/co-driver enjoys a certain level of comfort that would probably preclude participation should it require one to scramble in any undignified manner over a roll bar to get in.

Cheers,
Peter.

*ahem*

I don't think this is a Buy/Swap/Sell topic any more?  Perhaps you could carry this on in another area, and let the actual classifieds get top billing in this forum area?

EDIT: Actually - I've split and moved this topic here.  Carry on.
