Prospective ALFA 4C OWNERS

[nutbehinddawheel]

My spec has gone in today.
Now the long wait begins !

[Fittster]

How long is the wait?

Information at dealer level seems almost zero.
I was told that the 2nd batch of cars (including mine)would not be available until late 2014.
That said the first batch,namely the Ltd Edition, was due November 2013 and not now due until Feruary at the earliest.

I am not sure the latter part is correct, a few people are reporting the red ones are waiting at dealers for some people already.

The owners manual for the car is available from here

I know two people who ordered 4C LEs. They were very recently updated with build dates of April and May respectively.

The RHD cars are due to start arriving in March/April.

Ah yes, forgot the RHD/LHD differential

I've just signed up too.

First 'new' car ever, with no plans to sell on for profit or anything silly like that, it'll be a keeper.

What colour combination have you chosen ?

Haven't yet! Just paid a deposit to take a ticket for the build queue. I'll be contacted when my build slot comes up to choose specs.

I'm thinking Competizione red, five hole 19" wheels, standard calipers (maybe red, not sure), standard lights, possibly sports steering wheel, possibly nicer leather seats.

Won't bother with any of the updated suspension or exhaust or anything as there's always after market tuners that have a better option after launch anyway. Already spotted the German company saying they can get 400 bhp from the engine.... Now that would be fun.
