Managed to bag a 2.0 LTD from the car auctions at Blackbushe on Friday, just over £2k including buyers fees. So far only driven it back and clean inside (twas filthy) but looks pretty tidy bar one scrape on the rear bumper. It seems like it has lived in and around Oxford/Reading area looking at the receipts I found (2013 was the oldest!) yet the radio was tuned to Radio Stoke. The speed warning was set to 75mph so hopefully a cautious owner! Will have the chance today to give it a more thorough look at, and to dig up those threads on getting those Chrysler badges off.

Thanks for the kind words all, got out today & did all I could do. Did do the little side badges as well but no photo, I know you all know what they are; but I'm loving the changes. What a car, can't wait for DVLA to get finished and then we're good to go. Registration isn't done yet but this is the reg it will get, one I inherited from my HF4WD.

Cheers, it does look a handsome thing, Perla Sironi is the colour, sometime silver, gold, beige and a bit lilac It has done 112k miles but not real evidence of wear and everything works which bodes well for all Delta owners, the wheels are perhaps the only sign of use having corroded in a few places, that said they have been banged into the kerb a few times. Equipment seems standard for an LTD, no sunroof, Bose, magic parking etc It probably would have gone for less in the auction had I not been there, it stalled at £1350 and it was me versus one other guy so went up to £1650 and he quit as I guess his margin was disappearing, whereas it was still good price for me. Next stop. Italian ebay.

Will probably not be for a while yet and even if I do will still hop on to here................

Nice one Mike, glad it's all coming together for you! I've used Alfashop loads over the years, and Jamie Porters Workshop too. Both great for anything fiat-alfa- lancia... For me changing the airbag was one of the biggest impacts on the interior look and feel, so a great thing to get ticked off the list!
