I managed to get hold of mine by swapping my 156 TS, with Darren156 on here the Alfa was probably worth aroung £1800. I have also had a lot of work done to mine. It came to me with 73,000 on it, but with no proof of a cambelt change, it lookked very much like it had never had a belt change. I booked it in to get all of the belts and tensioners done, which cost me £600, the old belt was actually starting to crack, anf the aircon belt had sections missing from it.
Other than that I have spent money on a new thermostat, new lower wishbones, new track rod ends, new drop links, front strut top mounts, new bonnet supports (Bonnet wouldn't stay up), new tyres. I have also added the GTEC chip, Boost gauge, PRV boost controller and a set of colder plugs. I would geuess I have spent well over a grand as well.
I still have a few issues, there is a slight amount of play in the steering rack (re-con ones are £125 rom buypartsby), there is a scrape and dent on the passenger side (was there when I got it) the body shop wants £200 to fix.
I also have to get 2 new rear tyres soon, and my manifold ticks when cold. It does seem to be ok when hot so I will leave it for the time being.
I am pretty sure I have a boost leak from the original dump valve as well, which was probably caused by me setting the PRV too high after I installed it.. So I am now on the lookout for a Forge Recirculating valve.
Other than that she is ok, and I am very happy with it.
