chance of ever owning a car like this...

useless in town" ??

I love the 8C, but it just doesn't work in black.
Has to be red.

Saw a white (ivory more like) Fiat 500 with the ivory leather interior

better looking inside simply hasn't seen this colour scheme - it blew
me away! The wife and garage thought I might trade the 156 for
it..absolutely NO WAY. I couldn't fit inside that girlie toy

Does red still fade on Alfas like it used to? I deliberately didn't buy red
for that reason! >> Stay informed about: Royal 8C Competitizione spotted in Amsterdam... |
