Well....I did say if you want class, you need an Alfa. Seriously though, I bought it at 32k km / 5 years old. It's now pushing 40 years old, and it still has the clutch that it left the factory with. It had a repaint about 15 years ago, and a replacement rebuilt engine (only because the rear main seal was leaking 'significantly').

Back to you Spook. Any plans firming up?
