Hi fellow Coupe owners, 2012 is the year I'm taking the plunge on a classic (loose definition), nothing to do with a mid 30s crisis... I'm taking the plunge on a 1981 Alfa Romeo GTV6 series 1. Are there any other owners on the forum? Up to 2 coupes now, picking it up on Saturday. Aido

Cool - I used to own a gunmetal Alfetta GTV 2.0 ('83 I think). A colleague at the time own the GTV6 - fantastic engine though it used to lunch head gaskets at a frightening rate (stunning oil pressure). The cars themselves were nicely put together too with high quality trim etc.
Thanks MeanRedSpider & Jonny for the message. There are a few things that need sorting but nothing major (hopefully). Like the coupe I'm sure I'll have a few spare parts bought to have at hand and will look into the head gasket. I'd love a Montreal, but getting a GTV6 at a 10th of the price of a Montreal ain't bad. I can keep dreaming for a 2.6 L V8
Pics n a vid to follow.

Early V6s had head gasket troubles, but they solved them with a redesigned gasket, so it wasn't a problem on later cars. Bodywork must be the most important thing - they tend to rot along door tops, round the base of the screen and...well everywhere really
