Looks a similar colour to the Bburago model 993 I had

A rather lovely Alfa GTV6.. we were amazed by how tiny they are - alongside they looked more Mk1 MX5 sized rather than the "large coupe" size we were expecting.

They were a decent size coupe, I’d guess somewhere between a 924 and 928. Cars have grown! Imagine how small my sud or the sprint coupe version look, which are quite a bit smaller than the gtv!

Alfa GTV6 - 4260 x 1664
Mk1 MX5 - 3950 x 1680

The MX5 comparison wasn't far off - almost a foot longer tbf, but narrower (which was how we saw it as we approached)

Yep, cars overall back then were WAY smaller!

I know someone who owned one in his early 20's, and got a 15min "chat" with the boys in blue when they arrived at a roundabout to find him sliding sideways around it.... great cars.

As an old git I remember genuinely small cars like the 1965 Elan I once had. 3.68m long by 1.42m wide.

Now you went and made me post my size comparison pics again

I always feel a bit chubby but when I go to the beach suddenly I feel very slender. Similarly I’m sure if you go pull up to a Lotus dealer in your Evora and park up next to a sea of Eletrees you will feel the same way

Small old cars you say ?

Don’t bring a boat to an… erm… car fight.

Seems an appropriate place to post these

Doesn’t matter the age, every car is massive when you drive a Twingo

Marine Force One just flew over my head at low level departing from Windsor Castle..

It's always the width difference that gets me, bonkers that those two cars took up the same spot in Alfa's range

When did you last see one of these on the road?

This seems to get used as a daily, as I’m here twice a week at the moment and it’s always moved.

On David Beckham’s / Robbie Williams street.

Thought this might make an interesting work horse/dog wagon for someone.

[Jobbo]

If you have a very big dog, certainly!

Great looking cars and had quite a following, my mate imported dozens of them in the early 2000's from Japan and they never stuck around.

Double Coupe ! My dad went to an event at Thruxton and met a couple of other Scimitar owners there.

He uses the car quite a lot, it's certainly getting far more use in his ownership than it would have done here.

Was that Princess Anne in the GTE?

A yellow Mito; I didn't know they did them in that colour, haven't seen one before.
