Bravo (Classic) 20 valves, 2 litres and 147hp of pure italian muscle...

Introduction

Some of you might know already but I have given babz my cinq due to her Sei being writted off. She needs a new car and insurance probs arent paying out out for atleast another month or so. We are moving at the end of the week and the rental company arent likely to let her take the courtesy car with her as were moving halfway up the country! Ive done the manly :)p) thing and given her my car! Not free but ill take whatever the payout is for it whenever it comes through.

Anyway, Obviously I need a new car now... I didnt want something boring or slow as my insurance has just dropped so I can actually afford something with a bigger engine!

I looked at a number of cars to go for... Honda CRX Vtec, Rover 216 Coupe 1.8vvc, Alfa 145 cloverleaf, Alfa 146 2.0 16v.. etc.

But that would mean leaving the fiat crew.. which i didnt want to (y) :D

soooooooo....

Say hello to my Bravo HGT :slayer: Painted in Imola Blue (well its got a different name but its the same as cinq imola blue). Excellent condition body except for one slight dint in the drivers door under the mirror. Ital push out though and is only minor.

Interior is in lovely condition. everything works! (y) only prob is the airbag light is on :rolleyes: Im not really that bothered tbh. Im not paying £40+ to get rid of a light :p

Engine is average milage for the age (83k) but had the cam belt dont at 79k which is what attracted me to the car. Alot of service history etc and the owner mentioned boo and some other forums so Its been looked after by an "enthusiast" atleast (y)

Drives great! hit 3500k and its like a turbo kicking in :eek: :D and that noise :eek: sooooo nice!!!

Good thing though is that the cinq is still about (y) Photoshoot coming soon :p
lol, you know as well as i do your 155 was not noticibly faster than my 147:p

I know mate, the Marea still surprises me at how responsive it is (y)

Mine is running like a dog at the moment with the exhaust blowing though :cry:

its not just the platic cover, the intake thing is plastic aswell and the fuel rail(n)

Leave my plastic engine alone :eek: :p
 
welcome to the world of real cars (y)
now you can go on the big roads :)

yet another HGT owner joins the bravo crew. i really need to upgrade to an HGT asap.

Looks alot like Jug's Heraldic Blue.

yep its heraldic blue. i love this colour, it looks good in all light conditions, is easy to polish, hides scratches well, and not very common at all. only problem is touch up paint is always too dark.

Your just jealous. :p But agree putting a plastic cover on it was a bit of a mistake.

those 7 extra horses... make all the difference ;) 0.6 sec of a difference.

Great choice though mate, love the colour and looks really 'fresh' as in not tired!


What plastic are we talking about? :confused: If its the cover on the engine dont they all have that kind of cover?!
Doesnt bother me, I can now tell what the outside temp is (y) 147 doesnt have that haha :p
By the way its a lush HGT youve got there welcome to the club of power :worship:
P.S Its 8 extra stalions :D

Metal/Plastic? Who cares? Us MK2 - ers will always have the nicer interiors. (y)

Looks like a really nice example Bushboy but I'd forget about changing the bumper. get a Supersprint cat-back on it NOW!! You will not regret it. ;) :slayer:

thats not true, my old 147 had aircon/climate control with external temp display.
