Alfa ARNA TI carrozzeria Martino Minardi

[Alfaman75]

I found the pic that I posted in post # 12 on the Italiaspeed forum.
And according to that source it is indeed the Minardi car.

By my knowledge, the Arna was sold officially in Italy, Switserland, the UK and Germany.

The car on the left in post #15 is indeed a swiss car. It was one of only 200 special built 'Arna Jubilé' cars. It was created by the Swiss Alfa importer (and therefore only available in Switserland) to celebrate Alfa's 75th birthday. It was based on the 5-door Arna SL or the 1.3 TI. The car differs from the standard cars through colour painted bumpers, rear view mirrors and radiator grill. On the sides, striping is added. The car is only available in the color ‘Grigio Nisida metallizzatto’.

L indicates only that it is a 3-door car...except in the case of the 1.3 SL were both 3 and 5-door version were called SL. That 1.3 SL never was available in Italy.

Alfaman75, the picture you posted is indeed the Martino Minardi Arna TI. The picture is coming from a black & white sales/promotion brochure from this vehicle. I hope somebody on this forum has more information / pictures on this interesting vehicle?

According to an article in the Dutch Alfa Romeo Owners Club (SCARB) magazine 'Het Klaverblaadje' (no. 121, 2008-Q1) owns the Swiss collector Axel Marx an Arna Ti Jubilé. Pictures show the same color scheme and striping. The Jubilé livery was exclusively marketed in Switzerland, and had light alloy wheels, foglights, rear spoiler, bumpers and mirrors in body color and a striping (as visible in the pic above) as extras. The name Jubilé referred to the 75th anniversary of Alfa Romeo.

The funny part is that Marx sometimes uses the Arna (a three door model) when going to his work at the hospital, parking it between the X5s and Cayennes.

The Arna was imported in the Netherlands too, not officially but by a dealer in Tilburg. Only two survive, although one has been in bits and pieces as a long term restoration project and the other one recently failed the annual safety check.
