quick reg check and its never been to us here

just make sure the cambelt has been done, twinsparks were bad for snapping belts,
rear spring pan arms are quite common, front arms too
cam variator's can be noisy aswell

Never seen a deisel GTV

I know it's not the v6 but it's a grand and as long as it doesn't need stuff like an exhaust or cam belt change it's cheap. The only things that would put me off are the parts for alfas are very expensive and those 2.0 t-sparks are bad on petrol (my mate used to get about 18mpg in his 145ti iirc) BUT if it looks decent I might have to buy it and sell it before summer.

In a word Tom, everything.

They are simply awful.

That one has no roof either so it will be almost unimaginably worse than one which does have a roof.
