I had my 4C for a year now, though it has been mostly lockdown and storage. Mine is a 2017 and completely stock. Driving requires attension (it's not a GT) but thats what i expected as it replaced Ducati motorcycle!
Yea, 180hp, it upset lots of folk, especially in Italy on the autostradalooks like the 2.0TS from an Alfa 75

I loved my DB7 and regret selling it as prices are now climbing V12 - sports exhaust, here she is on a charity track day at Bruntingthorpe, made that kids day.cannot find reason to love the DB7 once door opened and sitting inside. As a piece of sculpture I would have one though.
The 4c may well be good future bet but agree ^^^ it might be a slow burn like Il Mostro. Another car i "nearly bought".
Seriously looking at a V6 Busso this year.
Please treat it to a new badgeWould sell our 156 V6, but it’s worth more to me than I think I’d get for it. It still howls it’s way to red line, even with 150k on the clock

I think it was 2011Very lovely...and a GT so the better DB7.....What charity day was that at Brunty ?
I think it was 2011
I had the straight 6 supercharged version in my mid twenties, possibly the worst car I've ever owned. I drove it no more than 1,500 miles and put it up for sale. It took more than 6 months to sell and I lost about £20k on it.I loved my DB7 and regret selling it as prices are now climbing V12 - sports exhaust, here she is on a charity track day at Bruntingthorpe, made that kids day.View attachment 79989
Personally only ever experienced one 20v T and the electrics were great. Bought used at 18months old and driven for just over year. Nothing at all went wrong, not even a CEL. Wonder now if it was a fake! (Think they were all built in Pininfarina factory rather than fiat)The electrics where terrible when new.
Mate had a 20v Turbo on lease and they could never sort it, crazy things like rear wash wipe would activate when indicating.
Fuses blowing frequently and the garages answer was a bag of spare fuses!
Looked good in yellow though!
Ways round everything though, for example, set up a motor trade shell company, get trade insurance (£1500-2000k pa) buy the cars and put the V5 in the company so it doesn’t add another registered keeper, trade plates, £150 pa and drive them all round without having to individually tax, insure or MOT them.Biggest threat will be Goverment trying to tax any of these sub £10K cars off the road - as a percentage of running cost it won't make any sense to many and they will fall to scrappage schemes and the like (which reduces the pool of available cars possibly pushing values up but only to buyers who want one badly enough to put up with the taxation etc.)
