Alfa really do make the best looking alloys!

Lovely.
Silver Grey exterior and Red/Burgundy leather interior - my favourite combo!
P.S. Is that a seatbelt buckle poking out the middle of the rear seat?
It is, the only seat belt in the car (a three point inertia reel) is fitted to the passenger side rear. I guess someone who was being chauffeured was a nervous passenger!Lovely.

New animal in the family....
Just had this delivered, looks stunning with the 'Gamay grape' coloured leather (darker than showing here...) - a brilliant combination
Superb handling, which I had discovered earlier, testing the 300 and then the former SVR, at last into a top British product, and it's a a keeper (I tell my wife.... :-) ) !
(first time without a German brand for 40 years !)
Yet to take some pics.....

That is gorgeous, and just the right colour combo, love that 'aroma' when entering these beauties....Bought this a few weeks ago and done a few hundred miles in it now. It's the oldest car I've ever owned and at 70 years old I'm amazed at its driveability. It coasts along at 70 on a dual carriageway and is a delight for passengers. The brakes are really good (going forwards at least) and the quality of all the fixtures and fittings and little details just delight.
My late father had a Lanchester Auto 'pre select' (pre war but was launched in 1945 I think) - ruined it by respraying it from its original black to a beige metallic..... :-( Excellent interior !

Try the new FPace before deciding, huge space in the back as well !
One of the very best handling cars I have driven, as also say others....
For years i promised myself a Rangie when i retired so Ive had this for a couple of years, Evoque Autobiography with the 2.0 SD4 motor 250bhp 9 speed auto with paddles in sport mode.
Electric everything and Leather everywhere.

and yes it does need a clean.
Where about in Greece Jo?As we live most of the time in Greece ...

Late night drive, the picture is taken at 10pm and it was still +24. Rare for Finland.
Great pic!
I had no idea the 2.0D gave 250bhp
I had one of these a few years ago and i think it was way less than that
in the meantime I’ve had 2 FPace currently the 3.0D which is a great car
It’s the upgraded 2.0 SD4 version of their ingenium motor from 2016 the normal 2.0 TD4 is only 200bhp, Also fitted in some Jag XF, XJ, F-Pace and RR Velar.
I believe 2017 models went to 300bhp.

And......revisiting this thread.......still driving the same car......last Saturday at Blyton Park, we had some real good fun.
Lovely - that doesn't look very standardAnd......revisiting this thread.......still driving the same car......last Saturday at Blyton Park, we had some real good fun.
Thanks, it's been breathed on a bit with a bit more to come.
It's addictive, forgiving and rewarding altogether...
They are so under-rated. I ran a vx220 for 9 years and i can't help but think a breathed on mx5 would give as many smiles without a lot of the heartache.
E63s AMG 612hp and absolutely bonkers in Sport+
And this Mustang 5.0 GT convertible. (looks and drives great, but won't keep the E63s in sight driven in anger)

That is a lovely colour

Had a MY2016 Evoque and really liked it. Thought it drove and handled well for the style of motor.For years i promised myself a Rangie when i retired so Ive had this for a couple of years, Evoque Autobiography with the 2.0 SD4 motor 250bhp 9 speed auto with paddles in sport mode.

Great motor! I've got the 240 F-Pace and really like it. Handles well and goes ok for 240hp, had the E-Pace before it and liked that as well. Maybe next time, if I don't go to the I-Pace!

love thatcollected this today and managed over 41mpg.
Proper Stealth machine and all the car you ever need. I do have a soft spot for the 5L Mustangs too though, nice garage
Very nice.collected this today and managed over 41mpg.
I’ve just bought my end of lease GTD, in Atlantic Blue, to add to the fleet. Due the pandemic it had very low miles and I didn’t want to hand it back.
Now a Merc E Class coupe, Boxster, GTD and a Seat (with tow bar)to do the day-to-day hacking around.
Atlantic blue is the colour to have for a gti or gtd. i was choosing between this or a gti or a seat cupra. So far so happy

First night with this, not my most practical decision but fun!
Looks like a lot of fun Gav, very niceFirst night with this, not my most practical decision but fun!
That does look a lot of fun - congrats!
Why is there a bonnet scoop on an electric car? I'd be genuinely interested to see if the scoop is real? And what's below it.We've just chopped in the wife's Evoque and gone electric...

Wasn't real on my JCW, so this has no chance lol
[QUOTE=Gavbaz;5791488]First night with this, not my most practical decision but fun!
Just been looking at one of these myself. I’m on the list foraYaris GR but won’t be here until next year
Lovely and I have been looking myself for one in the same colour but like all second hand prices they have gone through the roof in the last few months.collected this today and managed over 41mpg.
[QUOTE=awright101;5791539]Yaris GR definitely worth the wait!
That Supra looks great in that colour! There is so much going on with the design I see something new every time I look at one of these.
Looks like Batman's weekend motorFirst night with this, not my most practical decision but fun!
Whoever did that body wrap for you needs to give you a full refund.First night with this, not my most practical decision but fun!

Very interesting car - don't see many about at all. I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it.
So clever my foot fell off.
The Supra looks an amazing car. It would be good fun I am sure.
I bought my Golf R, having to decide between that and a M140i. I agree prices have been crazy recently, and I think they will probably stay silly for a little while yet.
My R has only 14,000 on the clock and is a manual. So far so good. I am very happy with performance and quality of interior etc.
It's just as fake as on the petrol Cooper S.
Having spent a few weeks with now though, we love it! Drives like a go-kart, the interior is a nice place to be, plenty of technology etc. The range is rubbish though. We haven't had the fast charger fitted yet so charging through a 3-pin plug it's not getting much past 100 mile range. Fine for what we need it for but not much use as an only car. Boot is tiny too, but then it is a Mini.
Not the early ones!

Indeed! Lovely alloys there too.
I’ve owned a JCW in all 3dr models over the years, the whine of the SC in the Gen1 was hard to beat, manic smiles from this one.
