After months of searching for a replacement 75, after the mrs trashed it I have finally found a good replacement for it. Just need to swap over some of the good bits from the trashed one to this, and a few more bits of work, and she'll be good. ] ]

Oddly enough prices of 75's in mainland Europe seem to be double the price of the UK

I'm seeing the 1st one next Tuesday.
The 2nd one is a dog, being sold by a dodgy dealer.

If anyone can help me find a good 75 3.0, please help. I'd happily sort out a finders fee.

Thought I'd give a quick update on the junior. Fitted new window runners this winter, along with some new cables. Got some ds2500 pads to fit, and just got some spare gauges, to try and improve the illumination on them a bit. Fitted a spin on oil filter converter, as changing the old cartridge was a pain in the backside and very messy affair. I've also fitted some period spots as well as respraying the black front grill and removing the horizontal chrome strips (the spots with the strips looked cluttered). Also fitted clear coloured front indicators and sidelights, helps toward the leaner look I think. Here's a few photos of the junior at goodwood revival. PS yes the sump is on the skew, think I need a new engine mount rubber.

Oh curse word, you boys are doing well in talking me out of this.
Problem was, since the mrs wrote of my Alfa 75 3.0V6 before Xmas, I haven't found a replacement and thought this semi practical approach was a good one, and easily justifiable to the mrs.
F@@@ it, maybe I'll just go find another 75.

Can't get a transit, as its too big for the garage (which it will have to live in), the drives not really large enough.
Maybe a hilux, but I really like the brat idea. Looking at the higher mileage one on ebay at the mo. don't think it would get truly trashed, especially if I line the load bed.

I'm going to have a major building project on our house in the next 12/18 months.
So as part of keeping the costs down, I figured a pick up would be a good idea. Cut down on delivery costs of materials. Ability to pick up potential bargin items, kit or tools. Prevent builders on site leaving site to get the odd bag af cement....I'll do that. Etc...
So it's going to get bashed.
However, what better to do, than to get something which could be a bit of a project to get ready for the building work, then after its served its purpose, it then becomes a fun project.......... WRX Brat ?
Now being used to classics, and mainly an Alfa man, this will be something new to me.
I know where there is an ex farm brat, sat in a farm yard, that I could probably get hold of.
So anyone here able to give me some pointers as to what I need to look out for on these ? Just obviously looking to get this MOTd and a sound base of the next 6 months.
Oh, and do you think I could get a full size euro pallet in the load bed?

....anyone thinking of buying this should read about it on uksaabs. Blimey just read that, shame the relationship went sour, but good to see confirmation that it really is totally rust free.

Anything with the following; RS badge (Audi or ford) CUP badge
Basically anything that 20 something's couldn't afford over the last 10 years that they wanted, but will be able to afford in 20 years time.
Plus the quirky stuff that nobody committed hard earned cash to 1st time around.............. Renault avantime etc.....

Isn't the answer in your signature pictures? Add one 75 V6 drive train to a 1300 Bertone coupe.....equals BIG Alfa fun! Very true, seen it done a few times.......... But I couldn't bring myself to doing it.

This is what happens when wife who is used to 4 wheel drive volvo borrows your 3.0 V6 RWD Alfa on a damp greasy day. Thankfully she is ok, just shaken up So my lovely 76000mile 2 owner car is dead. If you hear of a replacement, please let me know, as to quote my wife "I owe you a car" (she was only covered 3rd party on this). Lost the back end coming up the slip road round a lefthander, counter steered, shot off to the right, head on to the 1st tree, it spun the car round and rear ended the second tree. Cars not touching the insurance company, she didn't insure it like I asked her, so was only covered 3rd party. So it's now sitting at my mates. I'll break it, but want to find another 75 before I sell bits, so I have what I might need.

The missus XC60 has gone into the bodyshop for repairs. She got pi$$ed off with all the questions and hassle relating to the courtesy car, told them to stuff it......
........ Then asked me if she could borrow the 75!
So she's been driving it for a week. "It's made for people with little legs" (she's 6'1") "I can't get the bloody petrol cap off and it drinks" "Guy came to fix the locks today and said nice car" "Head of the preschool nursery said she liked the temporary wheels"
You never know, she may come round to it given another week.
