Good choice........but the TS GTVs are a bit cheaper to run and insure being group 16, the V6 is group 18!
Mine might be for sale soon, if you want a look sometime.
It will be at Hopetoun on the 15th August anyway!
I had a good long think TS or the V6! its got to be the V6, it might take a bit longer and more cash but its worth it im sure!!
I thought originally i might get a worse for wear one and get it back up to a great standard, but ill need to see what happens
hmmmmm not you all have me thinking about colours:lol:, silver might not be a good idea seen as the 147 is silver
Thanks Alfa 5!, iv learnt to look for one with the belts done after i got stung with the 147 after i bought it!
Cheers Craig!,
You thinking about selling yours already Phil, i may take a look actually:thumbs:, to see the difference between the two, although i think its got to be the V6, the only alternative to a GTV would be a GTA and thats not going to happen anytime soon!!
not long till hoptoun right enough!!, iv any of you have not already met me, i will be the one pestering folk with the GTVs!!!
Well its not impossible on your budget tjg . Spacehopper ( James ) picked up a PH1 Sargasso Green V6 GTV with Tan leather interior for a grand the day before the Centenery run, so he could go on the trip . It could shift and was in great nick . Best of luck on the hunt !!!
Hey Folks,
considering sticking mine on Ebay so will be going to the highest bidder. Dont really want to sell it but have bought a new race car and have to raise some cash!!
Missed Hopetoun House (racing in England) but looking forward to next meet - 75 back running!!
Yeah I know what you mean so if you can afford the V6 insurance go for it, everyone should try a V6 once!
But with insurance prices going up.....even the TS is now costing me almost the same as the GTA did.
good luck with the search! I'm hoping to get a 2.4jtdm spider at the mo would love the 3.2 v6 version but could never keep up with the fuel costs, tax etc
There are a few in the pipeline, and im waiting to hear back from one guy so looks promising, i had a test drive in the v6 and oooooooooooohh!!!!!!! its got to be the v6 the noise!!!! the power!!!! what a car!! im saving like mad so i can just replace my 147 when i get it, any ideas how much i should look to sell my 147 for??
If I was to get another Gtv, I really wouldn't get a silver one, whilst they might hide the dirt quite well, imho they really don't shine up that well (perhaps I need to work on polishing it properly) and I don't think I'd ever get a silver car ever again, to the point where if someone were to suggest swapping my Gtv with one of a different colour, I'd probably say yes!
stunning example you have there!, just a tad outside my budget!, i would need to save a bit more and i recon it would be gone by then!!!!!, if i manage to shift my 147 i will give you a shout!!
Send me details fo your 147 if your still interested in a 2.0, could meet up at the weekend so you can get a better look at the GTV....since I didn't get much chance to speak to you at Hopetoun.
