Yes, that was me
Did you see it parked up or driving along?

Saw you driving along the Birmingham road.

Car looked real nice in the flesh, had reservations about it in pictures but it looks so much better on the road.

Always wanted a GTV V6 Cup.

That 3.0 Looks a stunner. They are becoming a rare sight.

reminds me of this i looked after for a while until i sold it:

Awesome engine and chassis. Only ever seen 1 other GTA.

Cookeh · 23 Nov 2015 at 21:24

Why on earth did you sell that for a Mondy?

It sounds like it wasn't his (He said 'looked after for a while') but the ST220 was probably the 156 GTA's closest competitor so it's not as outrageous a thought as you might think.

Cleisthenes · 23 Nov 2015 at 22:30

That 156 is lovely!

Rybo89 · 23 Nov 2015 at 23:03

^ yup sold it for a friend, i had it for a few weeks.

As fun as it was to drive I would not pick it over my 220. Main reason is that I have no interest in Alfas.

For such a rare car it was a right ******* to shift. Went for peanuts.

The "I sold part" made me wonder. Huh, whilst I realised they were in roughly the same niche/class you are quite right, I didn't think they were close competitors.

I'd still rather the Alfa, but I guess its more down to personal preference more so than one car substantially out-performing the other in any specific area.

Not posted in here for ages, but this arrived last week to replace the TT Roadster when I get round to actually selling it!

DAIR · 24 Nov 2015 at 07:41

Nice V8.

Manual?

mccarf · 24 Nov 2015 at 08:18

A TT to that :eek:

. Beautiful car!

Cleisthenes · 24 Nov 2015 at 08:26

Lovely car, not 100% on the alloys though. Any more details?

n14hta · 24 Nov 2015 at 08:29

Nice motor.

Of course

Wasn't planning on buying until next year but this one came up and its the spec I wanted, the colours I wanted and is absolutely mint (crazily so) so went and bought it.

Cleisthenes - each to their own, they're the 19" AM wheels that I wanted.

Few more pics (apologies if this is too many)

Hard to believe that its coming up to 10 years old now that design. Still looks gorgeous! A quick look on Autotrader suggests that they can be had for around 30k!

What are things to look out for on these? Are they normally fairly reliable?

If you are genuinely interested in one then pickup a copy of this:

Beautiful cars, I prefer that rear end to the new "Lexus Lights" style shading of later models.

A DBS one day, a DBS would be joyous (for the soul, not necessarily for the wallet or mind...lol) :cool:

Logsi · 24 Nov 2015 at 15:39

Never understood the love for Astons...

...but then I drove one in anger around Silverstone. They're so absolutely gorgeous to drive. So meaty! There are other cars that are faster but not as fun to drive.
