My F appeared on autotrader at 14500 (I px at 11k) but has since gone. Wonder if the new owner will appear on here....?

So the ISF finally gone. Fabulous car Alfa being PPFd this week, pick her up this time next week.

Dunno but sometimes once the fault “is fixed” the MIL will clear on its own. My lotus threw an emission light once which lasted a dozen starts. Then went away and never came back.

I will be sad to see her go. I have thoroughly enjoyed the 50,000 miles I've driven. Lovely car....

It's the pipe leading to the calliper you removed? You sound like an excellent mechanic but I wonder if, after all these years, removing it was the final straw for the pipe? Were you not tempted to do the other side? Won't they be similar condition all things being equal? Scary stuff.

I've had that thought many times over the years as it happpens! D

Yeah wanted another saloon. I've still got my lotus too.

It comes with five years warranty so at least for five years any issues aren't mine. It's also two years since launch with 750 sold in the UK alone so a decent chance or issues being identified already. But yeah it's more heart than head buying it over something not Italian! It'll be interesting that's for sure.

Dark blue with dark alloys and yellow callipers. Couple of other extras which were standard items on the ISF such as electric seats.

You're more than welcome to come.e have a look.....

I'm an irregular here, but the forum was invaluable when I purchased my 08 silver in the summer of 2012 (I think it was 2012!). It goes like stink. It's comfy. It eats motorway miles and makes me smile when the opportunity arises to open the second valve I love when peteol heads come up and talk about it. They know it's rare. Aside from consumables like new front discs, and a minor misfire caused by a cracked plug and a dodgy air flow filter it's been utterly reliable. It's on 92,000 miles now and was on 42k when I picked it up. Full Lexus history. I got 11k in part exchange for a....Guila quadrifoglio. I wonder if that will be as reliable!?! I'm waiting for the Alfa to arrive from Italy so still have the ISF. It has been a great car. SL58WNS will appear on auto trader soon enough I imagine. Happy to tell any perspective owners about the time I had with it. Take care everyone Dave

Just put my winters on the ISF and Jeep this week.. as it's been very mild here in Kent so far this year. My summer tyres are absolutely shot to bits and barely legal tread wise. I did however have a lot of fun knowing they were end of life... I've just ticked off 90,000 miles in my ISF, so nearly 50,000 since I picked it up 5 1/2 years ago! Dave

I’ve had mine five years too! Time flies...

I’ve not posted on here myself for ages either. My F is now ten years old and 86,000 miles on the clock. It remains a fabulous car. I was staring at the white F and a bloke at a bus stop said “that’s a nice noise”. Don’t think he expected me to know what it was or how it made the noise! rare things on the road as we know....
