As beautiful as that Alfa is, and as much as I'd love one, you should be concentrating more on the VP wagon next to it.
While not as Horn as a VN, VPs still had a fair bit of the VNs Hornlike properties. VNs are Horn, VPs are too.

Absolutelt definitely no doubt about it a 2600 . Essentially a stretch wheelbase version of a 105 series .

It'll send you broke, get you divorced, give you cancer; but it will be all worth it that one day a month when it actually runs properly.

No The VP wagon will make you lose your job and not feed your kids, but you will still be able to smoke two packets of smokes a day and drink a carton of beer.

I know the car, my mate had one many years ago and I remember one night when we had to push it for half a mile to a service station, where he had to leave it. Not even as reliable as a Jaguar, poorly made and a real heap of crap. Ok for a garden ornament. Do yourself a favour and get an old Ford if you want a project.
