The only problem with Alfa's is that you can't stray too far from a garage.

They are notoriously poorly engineered Erin. I know a number of people who have purchased them and had issues from a very early point. Most pertolheads will tell you that buying an Alfa is a heart not a head decision.
A friend of mine chose one as a company car, within a month the handle had fallen off, that would have been OK if it was not the tip of the iceberg.

That's serious underselling.
Try and buy a pre war Alfa.
Try and buy a pre war Ferrari.

OK, not going to get into some kind of argument, but I know from personal experience these are the the best made cars.

I do live in a free world, at least my bit of it. But we should be looking to reduce impact on the environment. I would be surprised if these types of cars come anywhere close to a modern car in terms of carbon footprint. Stick them in museums, look at them. Sorted.

The modern Alfa is shit.
They're still one of the greatest names in motoring. And for me they are the top.

That's complicated it asks if it's an 8c and something replica I'm looking for.
The site asks for my postcode I hope they dont think I want to buy one
Aye an 8c.
That'll make your eyes water.
Tonight I realised you know nout.
Exquisite, rare and a race winner, Alfa Romeo's 8C was a pre-war supercar
On the eve of the new millennium in Palm Beach, Florida, a hammer broke the awestruck silence as one of the most beautiful and iconic of all supercars was sold for US$4 million (Dh14.6m), making it one of the 10 most expensive cars ever bought

This was my baby in the early 70s. Metallic blue with a white stripe over the left side. I was working for Avis and got her cheap from a client. 
I remain shocked that one of our respected FMs could wax lyrical about a car manufactured, or engineered if you will, by those cheating Bavarians.
What's wrong with a nice northern car like a VW? Or even the health and safety option, the humble Trabby. (As featured on my FB page-they aren't paying me)
