Or a Corrado -VR6's are good too, but not as tuneable for a similar outlay

Seat Leon Cupras are around that price and IMO far better value than the equivalent VW

God that's nice and well cheap at that money!
Sometimes I think people would be better buying stuff like that than old Saffs. It's just the FWD puts folks off I imagine. RWD is so much nicer o drive IMO.

I had the Bravo with the coupe engine (non turbo) and the build quality was shocking. The car was nice enough but I wouldn't buy another.

The 16 valvers weren't too bad mate but those 20 valvers are a cunt to work on! There's no room even with the whole stupid bonnet thing up!
The shame of it is [as with anything Italian especially Alfas] is that they look quite nice -IMO - and when they're working ok [and you've glued all the bits back on that fell off] they actually drive REALLY nicely!

What about a Capri two eight injector? Pick them up for peanuts, some really cheap ones going in Retro Ford. Even a Brooklands for just under £5k.
They look great, sound great, don't rot
why not?

20valvers are wank anyhow.
16valve is the one you want, Integrale Engine, L8/P8 (IIRC) managment, well over 500bhp possible.
I wouldnt get one as I think they look shite and are FWD, but if I was gonna, then 16V all the way.
Id be getting a S14a 200SX if I had 4.5k.
Insurance numbers mean fuck all anyhow, wouldnt take too much notice.
