A rarely seen example of Alfa Romeo’s unconventional approach to practicality: a 1980 Alfasud 1300 Giardinetta. The seller has provided minimal information, so any considerations here are based on what the model represents rather than specific details about this particular car.

We’re always surprised to see a Fiat like this in the U.S., for a few clear reasons—starting with the fact that, considering the long distances to cover in the United States, a 1100 cc engine from the 1960s was simply too small to last more than a few years. Then there’s the matter of capacity:… Read More Mountain wagon: 1966 Fiat 1100D Familiare
We don’t know what kind of experiment the person who repainted this Appia Convertibile many years ago had in mind, but one thing is certain: they would have done better to leave its original color, Azzurro Vincennes, a classic shade of the era, particularly favored by Lancia and Maserati.
