Ownership
My Brera 2.2 SV was an early 2006 launch edition with the 'sky view' glass roof and the optional 18" alloys used in the original advertising. The Brera has been a fantastic and practical grand tourer on many trips in the UK and abroad.
It hasn't missed a beat on trips to Scotland (NC500), all over France, Italy, including the 'Brera' quarter in Milan and the Stelvio Pass, Sardinia, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Slovenia and Croatia to name a few.
By converting my suspension to the official Prodrive 'S' spec the car handles brilliantly on all those twisty mountain roads and everything in between.
Other than the suspension and entertainment system upgrades the Brera is standard specification

Minor issue
For full disclosure there is a small internal windscreen crack ( see picture ) since I purchased the car 9 years ago and nothing has changed since.
