Another masterpiece from Giugiaro’s design was originally produced in 1971 and critically acclaimed as one of the best driving hot hatches produced.

Many derivatives were built and by the 1980s Alfa had to keep up with the competition, and the power increased with this version so with only 800kg this meant a super fun car to drive.

Of course, build quality was always an issue and in the late 1980s built cars finally received better quality metal and rustproofing giving a chance of longevity if maintained correctly.

This beautiful example lived in Italy with only one owner until a couple of months ago, the preservation of originality is vital in these hot climate examples and UK-used cars are not as original normally having had extensive restoration.

Recent expenditure (£3000) last month at an Alfa specialist after a period of dry storage included: New radiator, cambelts and tensioners, new tyres, silicone hoses, radio, major all fluids service etc. Extensive professional Dinitrol cavity treatment ensures she is now prepared for reliable daily use.

What a great car to drive proving that lightweight design, uncomplicated spec a great boxer engine and sorted chassis are all you need to have great driving enjoyment.

This is a rare car today and only a handful are for sale so with low miles it’s a superb opportunity for the serious collector.
