History with Tony Bentley
I first saw this beauty before COVID when I was the proud owner of an amazing Atlantico Blu GT Cloverleaf 1.9 diesel. Having had most of the available upgrades done to improve the car I bought a GT 3.2 V6 locally and, although it was a beautiful car, I couldn't get used to the difference in handling and different driving style on the V6 so I sold it two months after buying it!
At the time I got talking in one of the Facebook groups to the owner of this Blu Metallico 156 GTA and, having realised that it was out of my price range to buy for cash I toyed with the Idea of getting a PCP deal on a Giulia Veloce. COVID then struck meaning that everything was put on hold for over a year.
In the summer of 2021 I was browsing the selling sites ( love a bit of car porn 😂) and I noticed that Marco had put her up for sale and my circumstances had changed meaning that I could now afford to go for her. In September 21 I bought a one way train ticket ( always inadvisable when you're going to look at a car) to Bradford from the South Coast and at the end of a very long day I was the proud new owner of V9LFA plus the car that was attached to the plate 😂.
