Great cars, we had two. Best engines you can imagine, great handling, goods
seats. One tiny problem: you never knew if you'd find it back in the morning or
that it would have been eaten by rust. The worst we had lasted five years from
new to scrap. The story is that Alfa stored the unpainted bodies on a seaside
cliff.
Thanks for making me remember the car I learned to drive in!
