Just flicked through the November edition of Thoroughbred & Classic Cars (UK mag) and was interested to see the 156 GTA and 164 (all specs) are both identified by Quentin Willson (that bald bloke who hosts the Classic Car Show) as among the best "smart buys" for anyone looking for an affordable future classic.
Now:    2002 156 GTA
            1981 GTV

Well the 156GTA was a no brainer.  :)

Agreed, but it's still nice to hear acknowledgement of a post '90s alfa from someone other than an existing owner.
