Thanks Hans. What a car. I would be happy to have one in lime green
if it meant that I could have one. |

I wouldn't even mind a purple one with yellow polka-dots if that was my only
chance of ever owning a car like this...

Beautiful looking car, but.......doesn't the 8C come with the Maserati
gearbox which has been variously described as "jerky / clunky /
useless in town" ??

Only to top posters. All other customers get the revised gearbox that
Maserati used within a few months of the remarks above  >> Stay informed about: Royal 8C Competitizione spotted in Amsterdam... |

I love the 8C, but it just doesn't work in black.
Has to be red.

...and it's a blue colour if you don't want to have to polish them more
than once a year! You can keep your Alfa reds..been there seen it
got fed up polishing it. Don't get me started on black either..
Saw a white (ivory more like) Fiat 500 with the ivory leather interior
- it was *so* cute. Anyone who thinks a mini or anything else is
better looking inside simply hasn't seen this colour scheme - it blew
me away! The wife and garage thought I might trade the 156 for
it..absolutely NO WAY. I couldn't fit inside that girlie toy
anyway..probably the same for the 8C then?

Does red still fade on Alfas like it used to? I deliberately didn't buy red
for that reason! >> Stay informed about: Royal 8C Competitizione spotted in Amsterdam... |

Red fades on pretty much all cars. Blue light has more energy....
Things are better now though IMHO.
