Just need to replace the radiator and it’ll be mostly worry free.

Are you holding on to it? I seem to recall a while back some consternation over possibly selling it, but I could be making shit up.

I was. I’d spent months trying to diagnose a problem that was causing it to die after running for about 10-15 minutes. Turns out it was the coolant temp sensor. It was fine when cold, but when it warmed up the epoxy holding the guts together would loosen up and cause one of the wiring connections to lose conductivity somehow. Once I realized this, I fixed it for $12.
It has a blocked radiator so I’m trying to source a replacement, but otherwise it’s running great.
Although, if I’m honest, I’d sort of like to swap it for something easier to maintain, like a 914. I’ve always wanted one of those glorified, mid-engined Beetles... and I know a helluva lot more about working on those cars than I do Alfas.

If you do wind up looking to sell it keep me apprised if you don’t mind. I’m not far away and have been getting that transaxle Alfa itch again recently.

Will do. And if you know anyone with a 914 who’s dumb enough to enter this property ladder arrangement...
