GTV V6 P1

Hello from sunny Preston .........

Hi
As you can see I'm not YET an Alfa owner
Have spent a few months so far looking (lusting ) after a GTV v6.
Hope to make a purchase before the end of the year - so up to then i'm on here for advice on buying and a general nose about

Always been a "rice boy " - 200sx, crx, mr2 (loads) and my car at the mo -- which is a silver bb4 prelude VT - so this will be my first Italian Job
Cheers for now
Phil
