Hi fellow petrol heads, I have now became the owner of our very own AJs 16VT 145! All going well she should be with me by next week! These are the only pictures I have at the moment.

I believe so, it’s had a few things done to it so I’m lead to believe it’s running around 240/250 bhp. Once I’ve done a few servicing things and know it’s running right, I’ll get it RR’d.

The seller apparently got let down with two non payers, so I messaged him out with eBay and we came to a deal that suited us both. The anxiety is starting We will do!

From: Scotland	I was going to attempt to do it with my cousin, but he isn’t sure. So I’ve found an Alfa Specialist in Shawlands that have given me a quote, of which I am considering. Any recommendations?

These guys

http://www.mclennansgarage.com

They look after a few of mine; they are straight-up. I've never dealt with more helpful people in the automotive business.

They are just South of IKEA, off the City Bypass- I've done you a map to contextualise it.
If you were to go with them- I'd give you a lift down and up from the station to get back.

Can you include a link to the specialist in Shawlands, Mawv..?
