Alfa Romeo GT blackline Hows it holding up

[@paulandjana]

Getting one of these on Saturday. Not as old but more miles. The pictures look better than this one but then they are just pictures. Hope its mint.

[@Boris-xx7dw]

I see what you are doing there mate, leaving the red 166 in the back ground we want a blog on the 166 lol .

[@marko3296]

Mine had a “ diesel runaway” few months ago, destroyed the engine. Still best car i ever owned

[@Macela94]

I wish blackline spec would have been available for 3.2 V6 aswell.

[@rezaq1]

A GT with perfect sills and an undertray fitted? Wow!

[@silvermane9370]

Lovely spec the Blacklines. Suits the car very well. For me this would be a great daily driver.

[@peterhorne6837]

Hi Neal, Im always amazed at how rusty and worn the Alfas are on the underside chassis in the UK.

[@tjshill82]

It’s usually tyre fitters that Jack them on the sill due to lack of knowledge of the model! I was always cautious where I took mine and insisted I watched and guided them.

[@honda0105]

For its age, it’s in remarkably good condition underneath. However, in order to soothe my OCD, I’d love to get my hands on it and give it a bloody good clean! 😁

[@Boris-xx7dw]

With you there mate , clean the bloody car lol that was driving me nuts lol .

Hi Neal, love your work, u have a small fanbase from Serbia as well, keep it up ! I have the same GT Blackline, can u tell me does it have DPF or not ?

[@ItaliaAutos]

Answered in your other comment. Thanks for watching.

[@KrisHammes]

going to look at one tomorrow. Saw your buyers guide so i hope it can help me tell if the cars solid. Little bit of a leap of faith because I dont have access to a ramp. Wish me luck :D

[@ItaliaAutos]

Have fun!

[@onlyme8001]

Very tidy Blackline. makes a change with those sills mind. Nice one Neil.

[@fatwalletboy2]

Lovely condition underneath. Amazed tbh.

[@lucapisa9294]

A fundamental thing from personal experience in jtdm engines is to check / change the water pump and the belts also due to the type of construction and set-up of the frame you have to pay attention to the shock absorber arms which are very fragile by replacing them with other reinforced ones🖐🖐🍀⚪🔴

[@kevinclarke5705]

Do like the black lines only had one Alfa Romeo but plenty of lancia’s and tomorrow going to look at a 33 8v 1.7ie fingers crossed

[@andyhill8236]

It's in good nick why it didn't sell loads as they're a stunning looking car is beyond me let's hope the owner looks after it

[@paultaylor9652]

Bit of TLC and that could be one very tasty Alfa, just imagine it all cleaned up and a wheel refurb.

[@a11csc]

nice condition neil

[@Jared-qy1jh]

Nothing inspired jealousy in me more than undamaged and rust free GT sills. Almost all GTs I have seen have had visible damage on first look, and mine is going to have to get them replaced eventually from some jacking damage. This car has probably had some great owners and garages through its lifetime.

[@7302ab]

as Honest John would say "too many real issues with the diesel model"

[@lucianoaliquo6629]

Set of koni shocks for the same price

[@aaronobrien7821]

Would anyone recommend a GT 1.9 jtd? Looking to get one as a daily!

[@ItaliaAutos]

Just look out for rusty sills and wings.

[@skimmingstoness]

Deserves a good cut and polish it's as flat as a pancake and the faded badges really let it down, always a tell tale sign when buying an Alfa, if they haven't spent £3 on a badge what else haven't they done.

[@Negativvv]

Who says that owner is selling? But true, there's a red GTA for sale for £20k on eBay right now yet the seller can't be bothered to change the front and rear badges which are completely worn. They are a bit more than £3 each for OEM ones however!!!

[@skimmingstoness]

@@Negativvv Didn't say he was selling but it's not a massive undertaking or expense. I've found some of the non OEM badges actually last a lot longer than genuine Alfa badges.

[@Negativvv]

@@skimmingstoness The OEM badges do fade extremely fast if the car is parked outside... I think my front one has faded after only about 3 years.

[@paullloyd1276]

Crusty no more in background pop them wheels on mine lol

[@richardshaw1968]

Are you going to National Alfa Day?

[@ItaliaAutos]

Yep

[@shaneg9696]

Is it possible to get your car undersealed these days or do you have to do it yourself?

[@ItaliaAutos]

I do it here.

[@giuseppelafier4625]

👍

[@jaidhanu9068]

Hi I really need your help with timing my 166

[@ItaliaAutos]

No problem my labour rates are £60 an hour.

[@GoWstingray]

That price is shocking... come one 😝someone’s got to put it 🥳

[@fatwalletboy2]

Trust you to put a damper on things 🤣

[@shaneg9696]

What do you charge for undersealing

[@ItaliaAutos]

Depends on what needs doing but around £120

[@gregorizi]

Don't want to be prick, yet you lift cars wrong. In couple of years there will be rust holes, if you have car outside in colder countries with winter driving and salt on road.
