But arnt you gonna keep the little beauty all to yourself?

the DVD plate may be of interest to someone?

Speaking of Barn finds,

I remember once reading an article about an Alfa Tipo (yes, an ALFA Tipo) that was discovered in a barn somewhere in Mombassa if memory serves me well.

The car was only one of two ever made, the other was written off at Le Mans. As I recall, the said Alfa is fully restored to it's former glory and is back in Italy.

Has anyone read or heard about this before?

NB - I'm not taking the ****, either. Strange is it may seem to some of you.

Re: Re: Re: BARN FIND

I know about the Alfa Tipo yeah.

Though its not like the Fiat model, its a race car that shares namea only!

Though I could imagine the joy of finding a real Tipo with a twinspark and Alfa Badge !

Wow! I set the reserve at £500000!

Oh and look, it would seem that Nige has a buyer! Looks like hes gonna make a profit on it. Looks like the number plate could be a little cracker!

Re: Re: Re: BARN FIND

I can't remember, it was before my "Fiat" days.

I had an MG Maestro at the time. What a ****, eh?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: ebay barn find

Be careful with your answers, Max.

You might upset the Bravo Forum Police.

Here are their rules;

1. They are allowed to make silly comments - you on the other hand are not.
2. You are not allowed to use humour. They are.
3. You are not allowed to criticise anyone. They are.
4. You are not allowed to make negative comments about Fiat Bravo's. Surprisingly enough - they are.

Follow these four easy to obey commands and we'll all go home smiling.

Now, James the first (Richard the Third) - you have really annoyed me.
