Altezza's are a hard car to shift. Had one for a for 2 years with no trouble other than a air flow meter. Lovely car but a bit heavy and short on low end power. I let a 98 off for €3200 with a few good mods still regret it. Heavy enough on juice cos your always over 5500 revs for the power band. Good cars can be bought for very handy money now so you should have loads to choose from.
