Me too, I'm getting things rolling with it put in an offer and awaiting the counter offer, vechical checks are in progress along with SH verification.
If all comes back good and I'm hoping it will, I'll get the inspection sorted and collect hopefully by the beginning of the week.
It has just passed an mot though and a couple bits sorted so fingers crossed the inspection should not throw up too much.

According to most of my check ups the last owner had it for a few years, does this fit with the car your thinking of?

Not going ahead with the one I was considering so still in the market.

Ideally I want a Black paint job and ox blood leather, around a 05 plate facelift and priced in the area of 15k but may consider more for the right motor, of anyone sees one give me a shout, would rather a dealer for the added benefit of a warranty but may go private for the right car. Mileage is not a huge concern to me if it has had a full service history, I know Im asking a LOT but the right car at the right price is out there just need to find it

....as we've seen over tha last year...lots of cars exported, written off or hydrolocked so the pool of suitable cars getting smaller....if only a few had that combo could a long wait unfortunately....but you never know!!!!!!

Well I did quite like the car I was looking at but sat down and thought about it I'm buying a "dream" car and if I'm honest with my self I would never be happy with just getting anyone one that suits most of what I want so I decided WAIT for the RIGHT one that gives me what I want meaning right spec and right colour mixes after all it's my dream so I want it my way.

When I. Bought my 159 TI , It had to be in the right colour BLACK with BLACK seats and red stiching with the right 2.4JtdM engine the only thing I wanted more out of a TI was Ox blood lether seats but Alfa never did the seats in that colour so I had to compromise, until I can find someone to re upholster my seats into Ox blood.
