Grey with dark teledial wheels is current favourite with white being second favourite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 oh very nice - had a couple of test drives as I love these - nearly purchased one and am sort of still looking Must admit the upright driving position sort of put me off a little (due to needing the seat all the way back being over 6 foot) any reason why you have purchased a new one? there are loads of examples with less than a couple of thousand miles on for a huge discount on the cost of new? Very lovely car though - every time I see one I go week at the knees love the metallic red with the Alfa horseshoe wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey with dark teledial wheels is current favourite with white being second favourite The Gray is really nice but personally I'd go for the red over the white .I did see a yellow 4c spider at the New York motor show which also grabbed my attention but I'm biased with having a yellow Westy One car I would love to see in the carbon/metal is it's the 4C bigger brother the 8C but I did hear that there is only 40 in this country . anyone seen one ?

andy665 Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 I have driven an 8C - not that impressive and the carbon fibre finish was pretty woeful compared to the 4Cs.The owner was pretty hacked off with me as my GTV V6 with MJ Exhaust sounded way better than his 8C through the Conwy tunnel Don't like the solid red on the 4C, only no cost colour is black, yellow, white (solid), red (solid) and grey are £750, Rosso Compezione and Pearl White are £2250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (sdh2903) Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Did you go for one of the cheap lease deals? I had to restrain myself, didn't need one but they were very cheap and such a lovely looking thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are looking at £500 per month at least for a car with the usual options - teledials, leather, anything other than black paint etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (sdh2903) Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 You do have to sniff them out but they were there but went so quick. I had one specced with the teledials for not much over 300 a month. Under 10k all in for 2 years. Insanely cheap for a 50k car. Cost of lease less than the depreciation. They were knocking 15k off the list to buy them at the time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the 8C the same? I think I'd ask for a £750 reduction in the price and have it just bare carbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy665 Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Not sure where the 8C was built but definitely lower quality than the 4C.Funny you should say that about bare carbon. If you want the roof left unpainted - that's £2300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 An 8c was in the showroom when I took my first giulietta for a service, I was waiting for a courtesy car and offered to take that. I got a Fiat 500. Is the 4c available in Etna Black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
