    Alfa Specialist in York/Leeds area?

    Hi Wanderer, The main Maserati service chap from JCT Brooklands went there several years ago and hence let them sort my cars so I guess the answer is yes. They are re-building a 3200 at the moment and have access to diagnostics etc . If helpful I'll ask them on Saturday when I collect a car...

    Alfa Specialist in York/Leeds area?

    I have used Turin Motors in Leeds for many years to service all my Alfa Romeos and Maseratis. Never had any problems and fairly priced to boot. The fact they are starting to renovate my Alfa 75 from the bottom up shows they can cater for the usual Alfa stuff in Yorkshire and more.

    Alfa to dump small cars - maybe ?

    I have always been one of those people who takes an age to get to like a new model and by then I can either afford one or have fallen apart or rocketed in value (integrale Evo2) . But the Mito... I'm not sure I could ever fall for one even though I drove one across Northern Italy and Switzerland...

    best alfa 75!!

    I still have my Alfa 75 V6 and have owned it for an incredible 20 years now. It's currently undercover at the Indie Alfa dealer in Leeds Turin Motors waiting for my bank balance to have a large injection before I get it all sorted. I recently pxed my Alfa 147GTA to Nuvola in London and I had a...

    Belstaff and Alfa

    Nothing comes close to being as cool as driving an Alfa and this can only be enhanced by wearing a Belstaff according this advertising blurb...... http://www.belstaff.co.uk/GSR+BY+BELSTAFF/500,en_GB,sc.html

    Owners Club Prescott Hill Climb Concours photo's.

    I really enjoyed the day and the change of venue and seeing the old jags was good too. Stanford Hall was getting a bit tired IMHO but I hope we revert back to an Italian day as I missed the Alfas and Lancias although there are other events. Those that enjoy their food would have thought it was a...

    Probably sound advice but if ten people who are pretty keen on their Alfa are content are happier still now......

    Alfa GT 1.9JtM - Angel tuning

    I have done circa 500 miles and the mpg has improved from about 42mpg to 44mpg and the cost - £175 - based on about ten cars having the treatment. However, I assure you the performance change really has astonished me and I was a real doubter at the start of it.

    Alfa GT 1.9JtM - Angel tuning

    I have never really been into this lark much especially having just spent over £1200 for some work (tyres, suspension etc) but a group of fellow GT owners through Turin Motors got together and had their EMUs remapped to 195bhp with the usual promises of greater this and that. Some 1000 miles...

    3.7 Supercharged Autodelta GT

    Andy Even the smaller spoiler on the Gt is too much for me it makes the back of the car look too fussy for me.

    Andy I really do not know - had to take a second look - they looked like that old Rover 25 where they tried to make it looked urban - not a good look tbh!

    National Alfa Day Newby Hall and CITROENS !!!

    Attended the national Alfa day today hoping to find a new home for my GTA which had a good turnout of all things Italian although despite the good weather it was not warm enough for any Ferrari cars to make the trip. Location wonderful - although the Yorks roads were covered in speed traps and...
