Despite a distinguished history of beautiful sporting cars, Alfa Romeo was close to expiring. The company was taken over by Fiat in 1986 and incorporated into a new group with Lancia. Subsequent models, including the 145 and 155 were based on the Fiat Tipo family platform, a very functional and humdrum front wheel drive chassis. [...]
Despite the encouragement provided by the arrival of the 164, Alfa’s progress as a maker of fine cars spluttered badly, but somewhat predictably with the introduction of the lackluster mid size 155 and the Golf rivaling 145/6.

Its name, though, was an indication of the insane government intervention that tragically thwarted if form becoming one of the greatest cars of all time. The Alfasud, an Italian phrase meaning “Alfa South’ was a complete break form the company’s past engineering [...]

The shape, created by Bertone, had first been shown as a dream car at the world Fair in Montreal in 1967. However, the public were so surprisingly enthusiastic about it that Alfa Romeo [...]
