Bristol alternatives.

[Jervaulx]

Basically, if you have front electric windows, you should have the rear ones
electric also. It also helps older and more infirm passengers in the rear
to open the window when they find it difficult to reach and open the manual
mechanism. Also, in a prestige car you should open the window in a more
gentlemanly manner by pressing a switch by slight of hand rather than if you
were in a £7000 car. I don't agree with excuses of unreliability. When you
make cars costing £150,000 and above, you find a reliable mechanism and you
fit it. Excuses smacks of laziness to develop and progress and to make the
car a better and more passenger friendly car. I also believe this has some
truth with the lack of safety features which have been proven,
overwhelmingly to save many lives.

Having said that, i am a fan of the current models from Bristol and would
recommend them.

Did Alfa make anything that fitted that criteria?

I can't think of anything from Alfa that's a direct competitor, the
Montreal appeals but I'd have to be completely mad to buy one

Other suggestions: keep with Lancia. The Gamma was a fantastic car,
whether in Berlinetta or Coupe mode. Either look great. Fantastic
handling, more than adequate performance from the 2.5 flat 4. Early ones
shed cam belts but I think the design was put right with the fuel injected
models. It's the last true Lancia. Those that followed were Fiats.
Wouldn't cost a lot either. Peter

I do love the external shape of the Gamma Coupé but I'm not sure I'd enjoy
staring at that dash board every day.

Speaking of Fiats, the 130 Coupé looks like a lovely car.
