Hi!
That looks a very nice example, although possibly might be too nice for me (would like to do the upgrades and work myself

) What are you asking for in terms of price mind?
Cheers!
I am honestly not sure what it is worth. I just replaced the lower half of the dashboard/ facia as a previous owner had hacked it about to put a double DIN stereo unit in. I have replaced that with a more appropriate JVC unit. It has up- specced speakers as well. The seats are virtually unmarked and the internal door and rear side panels have all been replaced and match the seats.
There is inevitably more work to do, but I think that all the major stuff is done.
All the tyres are recent ( and they match)
Mechanically it has just had new belts etc and new plugs too. I have replaced the radiator and header tank. It also has an Autodelta panel type air filter.
Underneath it is solid. It needed a very small patch of welding to the nearside floor pan when I bought it ( about 2x3 ") and it was then cleaned and waxoyled with black waxoyl over the entire underside.
The engine bay is clean and tidy . It has new top mountings for the struts and the turrets are sound.
I have rebuilt both headlight units ( which took hours and hours) so that the adjusters actually work perfectly ( this is oh so rare) and it has better bulbs ( 110% brighter ) .
What are the downsides?
I don't think that the car has ever been painted and given it's age. It would look better with a re-paint. It's not rusty but has the inevitable battle scars from skirmishes at Sainsburys etc. The only other thing is that I think that the stainless exhaust system is a bit too loud ( but the engine sounds great).
I can post more pictures to show the details.
I will be open to serious offers. I also have a really beautiful 156 V6 which will be for sale too. I need to think about retiring and I want to buy a Spider . If no offers materialise I shall simply keep the 145.

I do love a 145 in Black, is it a bitch to keep clean?
I don't use it every day and it is garaged throughout the winter, but yes.... it is a total bitch to keep clean!!

Omg that has just tempted me.
As Oscar Wilde said ... " I can resist anything but temptation". ( Which is why I have now owned over 30 Alfas since circa 1979).
