Thanks Scott,
hard to swallow isnt it?

Can't quite believe this might happen, especially when i intended to keep till the day i die. 
But that's not to be.
A lot of people Australia wide know this specific car and the model itself so hopefully, it might find a new worthy owner, much like your GTV.

Yeah, it is a great car (the GTA), having driven them all, I always thought the 156 GTA was the pick of the GTA's, and yours is a good one.

Sorry, Brad, you didnt quite come up with a big enough offer...
... it is now sold...

A very sad little boy indeed am I.  Scott, got a spare shoulder to cry on?
The things we do for love (and shelter).

At least i will have my Alfetta GTV in a week or so to play with, and... it wont be the same driving to work in a VAN!

commiserations bro.  I only had a couple of rides in that car, but she was a beauty.  The nearest you could get to a FWD muscle car I reckon (Oldsmobile Toronado apart of course).  The stirring noise (in 2nd gear through the Tunnel, thanks for that), the sphincter-clenching acceleration, and those beautiful seats.  Great car, hope it's gone to a good home. 

Just think, 9 months ago you could have swapped it for two 90's!!  Bet you feel a bit sick now.

Delivered to it's new owner Saturday AM.  I hope he enjoys it and looks after it... at least he is a club member (and brother of a Vic club member too).

I will hopefully take delivery of my 80 Alfetta GTV 2000 this weekend.  Meanwhile, i will be Alfa less for the first time in about 9 years.
