  For these consumers the 1-Series and A3, which have created a new niche in the drop-top market, will fit the bill.” King concludes, “Limited availability of these cars on the used car scene will bring strong residual values initially, while low ownership costs in the longer term will be aided by the fact that both vehicles will retain a healthy proportion of their value even after three years.

  A Grand Monday: Alfa Romeo GTV 6 Jan 2020 (News)
  It does, however, have a misfire at idle, which the seller initially diagnosed as a lambda sensor but which hasn’t fully cured itself. But hey, it’s an Alfa. Great cars but you need the patience of a saint.  For a mere £750 and in such straight condition, it’s surely worth investing a little bit of time and effort into getting it sorted - but check when the cam belt was last changed as they’re a common failure point on these cars.

  A Grand Monday: BMW 518i 24 Jun 2019 (News)
  But that doesn’t mean it was a bad car. Far from it, in fact, and compared to other four-cylinder execs on the market at the time, it was still a very nice thing indeed - only the Alfa 164 Twin Spark could give it a run for its money in the enthusiast stakes.
