The 33 was remarkable: we did close to 90,000 miles over 11 years and other than normal servicing we replaced ONLY the waterpump...!!

We sold it because the interior was getting a bit tired and the speedo was only working occasionally, as were the brake lights. All could have been sorted but we wanted a change!

The 147 was a stopgap, not really an Alfa as it was more of a Fiat. The 156 was magic and again served us very well. That 2L engine was, for its time, rather special....

It is said if you havent owned an Alfa you can't call yourself a petrol head...!!
