It is only a matter of time! Nothing remains of the original Company, aside from the vehicles in their museum.
Busso was the last "Great" - no, Giant and any car that has one of his masterpieces under the bonnet is going to become more and more desirable as numbers dwindle. It is no less than criminal, the way Alfa abused this mans talents and for many years modern Alfa enthusiasts failed to appreciate his achievements - his V6 was particularly abused, being fitted to orange box derived cars, churned out by Alfa/Fiat.
It was only the clothes that they wore that differentiated them from the rest of Fiats dross.
The 155's, 75's, GT's/GTV V6's will follow in time. And even the 916 V6 Busso, despite being front wheel drive.
The rest will pass into history with little regret, being devoid of any pedigree.
That someone should pay fifty grand for this car, is a tribute to both the company, the engineers and the Tailors that cut the suits that clothed Alfa's of that period. And a tribute to whoever bought it.
In your opinion ....
Of course!
All looked good until I saw the steering wheel centre.....
Why do people spend big bucks on a resto then spoil it with a cheap detail...
Shannons have a 1977 upo for auction '
the 116 are starting to catch up
and like the jumiors are starting to overtake the big brother the same is starting with the 4cyl
versus the v6
i think this is mainly due to less electronics and more carbs
