The Alfetta Sedan, while not fully equipped with the ineffable "presence" of the earlier Alfas, is the most sophisticated small sedan ever made by any manufacturer. It just needs a twinspark to properly come to life. More later...
That said, it is bittersweet for me to see all this Berlina action. They have always been an incredibly powerful automotive statement, it just took 30 years for people to finally catch on. Just in time to push me out of the market as I was finally preparing to enter. Oh well, the Alfettas are even more of an underdog, so I am assauged.
Kudos to all the Berlinistas!!!

Alfetta - Not to far ahead !
Hey Randy, I will purchase an Alfetta, as soon one decent enough pops up, no worries. I think it is a true sports sedan that deserves to be driven hard and hard! |

Anthony.. WITH reference to your last post...Berlinas up in the air.. I did not know that Santo had a powerful ''right hand''. Certainly...Hugo is at an advantage here..learning from the best...ciao

Hugo is an amazing assistant. He's one of a kind.

here is a photo of my berlina... sadly this one was part donor only...
.JPG)
The former owner left her to rot on a farm... When I found it it was irrecoverable. 
At least it gave parts so other alfas could continue to live.
