There has been a bit of discussion (read: debate) on this (entirely between me and humanatek)
Anyhow, both (arguably again) the epitome of the top line GTV6. Very difficult to find any info on these puppies anymore. Because the Callaway was a factory sponsored limited production vehicle, getting detailed info is much easier. The UK guys are long gone. Here's a couple/three pics.
The main problem with either is that they are 116 cars that are 22+ years old. In North America, most likely a rust bucket, or at least existing in malaise with all the typical issues of the model. e.g. best owned by enthusiasts. It's a real shame but even if in mint condition, you'll have A/C that feels like a pygmy blowing on you through a straw, electric windows that move so slow, the carjacker will just move on, and of course the windshield wipers that a sloth can outrun. Totally unacceptable to all but Alfisti.
Martin makes a good point in that Callaway Cars is renowned and their work sanctioned by Alfa Romeo NA. Chaparral? An independant tuner. Bottom line?
Who knows? The value of these old cars is a bit intangible to those who absolutely have to have one. For everyone else, they're simply just a POS. ...I happen to dig 'em!
