AROC Alfa at Burghley House

[Cyclone1]

Fabulous Day at Burghley House. Some lovely Alfas on display, but fell in love with an old 1750 GT, a 2 owner car that has done over 200k miles, yet has been kept in fantastic condition.

Do like that green and yellow. Did it have the tan leather?

So sorry. Yours must have been parked next to the black GTA? If so it looked a smart example. I was hoping there would be more GTA’s there but only saw 4. It’s one car that I’ve nearly bought on many occasions but never have!

I’ve never been to an Alfa event before but was very impressed. I went along with a mate in his new Quadrifoglio, it clicked over 1k miles on the way so was able to engage Race mode with valves open for the first time, impressive.

Had good fun with this on the Elton road…

The black one was in much better aesthetic Nick though

Yes it looked very nice indeed. Had I not got my eye on something else at the minute I’d have been tempted to make an offer! Dangerous these car meets are lol!

Lovely cars.
Do look at the Japan import 147GTA's however with them all being selespeed feel might be buying a load of pain. How different they are in reality in this regard to the F1 box I don't know.

Wish I had known you were there I would have said hello. The 8c is a cracking car and very unusual in that colour. It was a special order by a guy in Japan before being imported to UK. I know the chap that owns it, he is also a fellow Montreal owner.

Think the selespeed version gets bad press over here in the UK as I think the UK was manual only. I wouldn’t rule one out if the condition of the rest of the car was excellent.

That’s a shame.

The 8C was great to see up close and sounded very familiar! I liked the proportions of the car. Yes it’s an interesting colour and made the car look a little understated, but classy.

From being in a member on here's selespeed GTA it feel massively different to a boggo TS sele.
In fact I think it suits the GTA.
