Ahh - another 105 devotee.... I've owned 6 Alfa's, first a 1750 Berlina (kids growing up), then 2 x 1750 GTV's, a 1300 GT Junior, an Alfetta 1800 GT and a Sud.

Strangely enough, I was cleaning out my garage over Christmas and came across my old workshop manual (very grubby) and a set of genuine handbooks that came with one of the cars. Don't know why I kept them but perhaps the inner me wants another GTV.... I gave away all my spare valve shims and micrometer to a GTV driving stranger I got talking to last year.
I know I wouldn't get any problems from my wife buying another 105 as she learnt to drive in my 1750 and loves the way they drive.
