Hood is apparently very good and door cards are available. I haven't actually seen the car. PM me and I'll drop you the guys email address and phone number.

Not sure if he has those as apparently the bumper is the only thing missing (was sold) can't hurt to ask though. PM me and I'll send you his contact.

Same applies to anyone else who is interested. PM me and I'll pass on the details.

So I had the car taken through to TurboNutters this morning and Gerhard gave the car a good going over.

He picked up that the car had front end damage but it's all been repaired properly and looks good. It's definitely been sprayed too but the paintwork is pretty good.

He also picked up that the snorkel from the airbox is missing but that I can easily sort out. She looks clean and tidy underneath and in Gerhard's opinion worth the money that the owner's prepared to accept for the car.


Gerhard was a pleasure to meet you mate and thanks again for all the help. Very much appreciated.:thumbs:

Ace mate! So are you buying it?...

 

[alastpa]

I'm going to take the weekend to mull it over then make a final decision on monday.

 

[alastpa]

So she's pretty much paid for. I'll hand over the balance when I pick the car up...hopefully next week.

In the meantime here's a few pics. Unfortunately not very good quality (I got them from the original ad) but I'll post some decent one's when she's finally in my possession.

Congrats! Sweet. She looks good . Love the wheels, like my 145.

That car looks just like one that was for sale in the Western Cape two years ago. If it is the same one then it was well cared for by a true Alfisti for the first years of her life. Looks beautiful though! Congrats!

Ha! Loving it, congrats buddy, i loooove the 2tone seats dammn

 

[KaizerG]

Congrats! looks a beaut and now you can say you've got a limited edition

 

[alastpa]

Thanks guys! Fetched her yesterday. She drives beautifully.....smooth and handles really well. She makes a lovely noise too. All the electronics work bar the airbags (the remote central locking, roof, aircon...the works.) She's got new tyres on but I noticed the place that did the alignment did it according to Brera Spider specs Idiots!!

The lady owner also wrote me a 'love letter' asking me very nicely to please look after the car.

Next mission is to get the new 916 steering wheel I've got on it and get the airbags working.
I'll post some decent pic's shortly.

Congrats!!! Still the best convertible for the money!!!

Struggling to get it insured. Anyone got any suggestions? I can't drive it uninsured.

 

[stefaans]

I had my code 3 spider insured with outsurance..... They insured it for 75% of book value. You can also try SANTAM.

I'll try outsurance just now. Not my favorite though.

I can get you a new bonnet for under4k

AWESOME!!!:thumbs: Let me know the details please.

Outsurance wanted R1800 a month to insure it. :wow: Hollard are offering under R1500 for both the Spider, 147 and home contents and they're still looking at getting it a bit lower.

 

[alastpa]

Some pictures as promised. Taken from a camera phone so not the greatest quality.

 

[alastpa]

A few more. Notice the airbag light and the crappy plastic over the deployed airbag. That'll be one of the first things to fix. Previous set also shows the fibre glassed centre heart on the bonnet that doesnt quite fit right.
