Proof the world has gone nuts

2,499? That much?

 

That price wouldn't be judged excessive in Britain for such a car.
There is quite a lot of Italian car lovers here, and this is a sample of what Alfa was doing best then, and should be making now.
The mileage is quite low too, which is a good point.

 

We have all sorts of cars like that, but without the rust

 

They are the last of the rear-wheel drive Alfa, and have more value for aficionados than the later front-wheel drive FIAT-based cars.

In their days, these cars used to be on a par with BMWs. These are collectors cars, or at least Alfa club here.

 

In the early 70s the same could be said here in the USA. Alfa could be a nice 3/5 series and a4/6 competitor if it does it right.

 

People are willing now to pay that to get a manual transmission these days.

 

Sad but true.
