Payco Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Just looks under priced to me. http://www.romansinternational.com/car/1094/alfa-romeo-4c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Looks right to me. It's a good looking car that drives like @*!#, and everyone knows this so prices are falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Ah, I drive past Romans Int daily and have always thought they look very stylish. Didn't realise they were awful to drive and the bhp was so low. Edited February 11, 2016 by Payco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeg33 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Looks like a mini Ferrari.........I'm on the fence....... quite nice but seems tiny.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) the bhp was so low Low?! They weigh under 900kg dry, 240bhp is plenty quick enough. Too much and you're hanging on rather than driving. That said, that chassis could probably handle a lot more but with the crappy suspension and slow-witted gearbox, you wouldn't want anything more anyway.

coldel Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Clarkson loves them and thinks they are amazing, so steer clear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LloydZee Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'd still have one, gorgeous looking car. Plus 240bhp in something less than a ton....quicker than a zee (yes, without FI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I have a mate with one (that came from a turbo 350z), he seems to overall enjoy it but some things were frustrating initially. Needed camber/geo work (as do 99% of any factory cars anyway), didn't recommend launch edition or race suspension unless living on the track I don't like the spider eye lights that are on the initial lot but it looks like (ironically) the 'spider' version has nicer units. I'd love to have a 20 min or so drive in one to see how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Pretty looking car, but I'm not sure a it's worth £45k, second hand, probably completely wrong and I'm sure that the engineering (in an Alpha!?!) is spot on. Is a Lotus not a better proposition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 In every single way, yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I think for the price it is; if I wanted a really fast car I'd buy an R35 GTR, ...if I wanted a fast sports car then I'd rather look at Lotus or Porsche to see what my money would get me from them. Still not the worst car but at that price there's definitely better about (imho). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
