They all got snapped up, already a classic in many respects. That Alfa is a lovely looking car. Maybe a Focus RS or even a Fiat Abarth might be a lower risk investment?

Fixing that old lambretta up gave me the itch to do something bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted May 25, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2020 Fortunately I’m not really arsed about cars, performance, investment etc. I would imagine some serious brass could get spent on them.

frank_spencer Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 The father in law's best mate has had an amazing selection of cars over the years. TVR Griffith and Aston DB5 are 2 of the nicest. My favourite to play in though was his Mitsubishi Warrior pickup with all the toys. Which he picked up as a 'winter car' as his sports cars tended to go sideways once the roads got the tiniest bit of ice on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Still see a few Trevors driving about. Cerbera etc. Must be 20 years old and still look modern. Anyway. I've got a 13 year old golf with a slow puncture and a warning light that popped on today. Future classic! Make me an offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
