1979 Alfa Alfetta.    The 914 is nice and all, but after 20 years of ownership that darn seat gets closer to the ground every summer!

The Alfa would be easier in traffic, more comfy long distance AND carry more than two people.  Oh look, there's a video!

Needs a little red-green pinstripe to break up all the white.

More than two people? I think maybe you should be looking for a Milano...

I never warmed up to the Milano; I did drive a friends 164, with very well set up suspension. Could not afford a spare fun car at the time, nor afford it as a DD. But I'll always regret not buying that one!

Or the shifter linkage, or the drive shaft guibos. This 4 cylinder car isn't worth the trouble. A GTV6 would be another much better thing.

Milanos are fat BMW 2002s with Italian Lucas.

That's the second ugliest car I want really, really bad. The Europa is the first.

No desire to own one, they're cool looking but working on them?  Ugh.

Does this driver look happy? I think not.

Looks like someone was into it by upgrading to GTV6 five lug. Interiors were always fragile in these which is why it has a mix of black interior and brown. The engines are pretty bulletproof and reliable. Most people don't understand the Spica injection but its a great system when cared for.  Being sold by European collectibles which normally deals in Porsche
