Fix it - race it - break it - fix it............. Identical to the pic. https://motor-car.net/images/A/italy/alfa/matta/alfa_romeo_giulietta_1983.jpg

Bought it second hand in 1990.

Technically interesting, twin cam all alloy motor, 2 x twin choke side draft carbs, Rear mounted gearbox.

Slow 1 to 2 gear change meant it would never be any good at standing start fun.

My first car was an Alfa 75, I still miss it sometimes. Great cars and so much fun to drive.

I have a place in my petrolheart for Alfa's. My favorite is that 1990's 155 Q4 DTM machine. Nannini and Larini beat all the German cars at home.

Now I'd like to spend you a few beers. The DTM/ITC was the peak in automotive racing in my mind. And seeing the crazy Italians beating the Germans on their home turf was glorious. And the cars allowed some contact with one another which made the races much more interesting than formula cars like F1.

I still own a heavily modified 155 Q4, but haven't driven it in years. One day though I will resurrect that beast.

Beware the Alfisti or Alfioso, they're everywhere. :)
