Here is the video :
Would recommend to a friend, v.enjoyable.
Apologies for the sound on this, new camera didn't come with a suitable mic, and it is a little breezy and I had a cold so my breathing is terrible haha.

 Class car. (back when it was ok for a sports car to have steels) Nice video - I'd have been tempted with the Mehari! |

Had the opportunity to drive several of these back in the day. Great fun little motors!

I'm not sure what the smaller engines would be like but the throaty 2 liter pulled really nicely, really smooth. The roads we were on were pretty bad at times, but it was never an uncomfortable ride (other than Italian seating position). Made me start looking at Alfetta based GTVs with the same engine when I got back  |

Another car I missed out on. When I was trying to sell my Sierra XR4i 15 years ago a fella offered me a straight swap with a red one of these, i turned him down because I thought i'd look a bit gay in the Alfa! Doh... I'm clearly a moron at a biblical level... Need more proof? I turned down a Daimler SP250 in 1990, 12 months MOT and tax for just £400! Yep, turned it down for the same reason as the Alfa! These days whenever I see either I kick myself! If they erected statues of morons in town squares my statue would be like Nelsons Column!

I'm not sure what the smaller engines would be like but the throaty 2 liter pulled really nicely, really smooth. Again, I'm going back here. But if I remember, the 1750 was a happy little unit as well. Never drove a smaller engine one, so can't comment, but found the bigger two lovely to drive in Series 2 Kamm tail form. If I could have afforded one then, I'd have bought in a heartbeat. |

Ace, great looking cars! You must have a very understanding other half, I'd be in trouble if I started making a videoblog entry whilst on holiday, "Would you mind getting out again so i can film the car without you in it, oh and can you film whilst I do the fun bit of driving".
