wouldn't you really rather have an HPE?

Yes!
That looks pretty nice say some detailing, maybe a coat of paint to get the shine back

There ya are DJ! you new daily!

I've already bought a nice Alfa 164 for a driver.

This is the same HPE that we've discussed here before. I'll be keeping an eye on it though.

The owner is a member here.

Good timing to put it up now -- eager bidders who don't win the berlina may turn a covetous eye to other unusual Betas on offer, or may spot this one in advance but hold off on bidding until the berlina closes, then watch the bidding war begin!
