    That's all the details I got. SIMI sent it out to all their members, it was passed on to me. I'd say it's probably on a ferry, if not in the UK already.

    Saw that car in TG Live, assumed it was diesel/low engined petrol, didn't realise how special it was(until now), I really hope for everyone's sakes that that car is found. Few engines sound as good as an Alfa V6 does when it's on full chat.

    How did someone manage to steal it? Would of thought security would be tight at an event like that.

    3500? Is that all it's worth to them to replace it. Probably broken for bits by now.

    I'd say that car is on the other side of the Irish Sea by now. A white Brera is rare here and pretty noticeable even by someone not into cars so whoever stole it would want it out of sight quickly before it is reported missing. I'd also say it was stolen to order, not too much demand for a 3.2 litre Brera here especially on the new tax system so the UK is the obviouse destination, maybe the authorities could be notified over there?

    Pitty it didn't have a GPS tracker system fitted, hope it is found though.

    Sorry for bringing up this old thread, but I think the car is recovered. I've seen it at the Classic Car Live in Mondello along the Alfa stand, and it was in the GT900 as well.

    Wish I could tell you lads but all I know is the car was there ready for the GT900. No mention of the recovery or what happened.

    Hey RobertM, I'm confused, I saw a white Brera too at Mondello. The car at Mondello was a diesel if I remember correctly; the car stolen was a 3.2 V6 petrol?

    Great show wasn't it?

    Cheers,
    CM
