, Obviously not an Alfa fan then, I dare say it probably caught on fire and broke down with sickening regularity. This one is going to be broken by the looks of things.

yep we have to meet up people neaver understand italian cars till you had them, i had once a fiat mirifori 131 with 20 litle twin cam 5 speed box back in 1979, also had an alfasud 1500, but briefly, and of course a lancia delta intergrale turbo , which was great

That is rare!

I used to have an Alfa 75 2.0 twin spark, it had 8 spark plugs! The car was fun to drive when it was running; good handling if you was daring enough to push it. I have driven tractors with better gearchange!

The interior was bedismal and depressing, after owning the car for 3 months it decided to set itself on fire one early morning.. I would never buy an Alfa again; even the new ones with Sillyspeed gearboxes & their latest models have an array of problems!

I'd have it in a flash if I were back up on the top half of the globe again

Sadly Alfa tend to do some dumb shit with electrics... While giving my first 33 a tidy up in the engine bay I removed 13ft of genuinely surplus wiring - not the kind you might expect if a car had a miriad of options for a different market, but sloppily doubled up inside the main loom sheath, stuffed down a chassis leg and strung across the front cross-member

My dad bought one of those brand new on a J plate, it was the biggest pile of shite he ever owned!
His girlfriend at the time talked him into getting one, instead of getting another new Audi, which would of been his 4th in a row.
I still cannot beleive he part-ex'ed an F plate 80 quattro he had from new for that heap of junk!
