Alfawiltshire

No problem. Nearer the time I'll send you a message and get it all sorted out. And yes, Royal Mail is about £10. I'll get in touch towards the second half of March. Its a pity you didn't post in December.....I went from Spain directly to Norway

I'll be in Spain at the beginning of April. I've had a look on the Correos website (Spanish post office), and they don't class Norway as an EU country, so anything sent from Spain has to go through customs etc. I know from personal experience its not always very simple down there. Depending on size/weight, it would cost at least 31 euros to send from the UK by UPS.....so I imagine for 18 euros, there's no way they would post it. If you can wait until April, I can buy it, bring it back with me to the UK in mid-April, and send on to you....if I can fit it into a small box, it would be a total of 67 euros.

Bienvenido Que chulo el coche! Cuando no estoy aqui en Inglaterra, estoy en Valencia....pero por desgracia sin un Alfa....por ahora....un dia voy a conducir mi GTV alli

Just bought a black GTV. Looks to be in excellent condition. It needs a few jobs doing to it, but overall, a very nice car, and looking forward to many years of happy motoring.

A few quick photos

No new photos yet....I'm away for the weekend, so will have to upload them when I get home next week. It's a 1995 Phase 1 with the alloy topped 2.0 twinspark engine. It's covered 167'000 miles, and still going strong....burns hardly any oil, although I will of course be checking it very regularly....I already have 2 Alfa 145's....so I'm used to checking the oil on an almost daily basis. The chassis is absolutely solid, can't find a speck of rust anywhere. In the last 2 or 3 years it's had new exhaust, brakes, clutch, gearbox and loads of other things....got a 6" stack of paperwork with it. It's obviously been polished and waxed very regularly, paintwork is still in excellent condition, just some light scratching around the locks/door button. The interior is in excellent condition, everything original apart from the stereo. The only problems I can find are the sunroof doesn't work.....the motor works, but nothing happens. I'll have a look at some point...no rush with the recent weather. There's a tapping noise from the engine. It sounded like the power steering pump at first, but I've checked it out, and it's just the drive belt tensioner, hopefully fit a new one and belt on Monday. And finally, it takes an absolute age, if at all, to get up to temperature. The thermostat looks like it hasn't been changed in years and years....so that will be done in the next week or so. It's got an MOT until May next year, and the only advisories on the current one were that the front outer gaiters were perishing, and 2 rubber front brake hoses were slightly perished.....so nothing major. Apart from those little bits, I can't find anything else wrong with it. The last owner was a policeman, and judging from all the receipts, it lacked nothing, plus there's an Alfa Romeo Owners Club sticker in the windscreen, so I'm guessing he was an enthusiast. Anyway, most importantly, absolutely love driving it, and even had been stop and take photos of it....the GTV obviously isn't a common sight in these parts.

I gave it a polish today. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow. I must be honest....I didn't like the wheels too much at first....but they're growing on me ;-)
