Title: future classics
Post by: poohbah on October 26, 2016, 05:04:13 PM
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.

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.

Well I'm all set hahaha. Although I have my doubts the 164 will increase in value.

You've got the collectors' edition Box Set, something to fund your retirement!

I also hope at least the 164Q becomes a collectors item. Mine is eligible for club plates in May, so may retire it.
