My dad used to drive 75 when I was a little boy, I could remember one time I was playing with the door latch and without looking my dad slammed the door shut, realized he must've crushed his son's finger, he freaked out and rushed over for help, but to his surprise, my finger was completely unscathed, in fact the panel gap was so large it manages to fit a child's finger even when the door is completely shut

My understanding of the 3.0l, it was built by Autodelta in Italy. Due to Italian tax laws it was never used there. Alfa South Africa dropped it into the GTV6 and produced the SA GTV6 3.0 with carbs. They kept the project secret and blew the BMWs at Kyalami in the Production Car Class. BMW protested and the race results were overturned the following week. The homologation requirement in SA was 200 cars sold through the dealerships. Eventually Alfa claimed to have sold the required numbers but I heard unofficially they fell a few short. A further rumour has it they ran short of 3.0 cranks and the final GTV6 3.0s had a displacement of 2.8. I have seen the SA GTV6 3.0s fetch in excess of £20.000. Not sure how they compete vs the Callaway GTV6, but they are much nicer looking cars.

The Alfa with transaxle had the weights distributed f/r at 50% and the wheels always perpendicular to the ground. With 4 people on board it seemed that the bmw was s....ing on the street. Now they're different. The only Alfa's flaws were a slightly high driving position and lying in the corners, in addition to the slow gearbox. At those times my father drove Mercs, Opel, small Fiat, a very nice Renualt5, and I also drove those. The first time I tried an Alfa (Alfetta) I was amazed and bought an old Gt Bertone. Since then I have never changed.

The problems of rust afflicted Giulia, Giulietta and Sud (not 75), because when FIAT made the contract to build the Lada factory and the town of Togliattigrad, the Italian government (owner of Alfa) in support pledged to buy Russian steel, which was poor; in addition, Alfa did not have a good sheet metal treatment. Subsequently, to increase the reputation, on the 75 they applied special treatments to the sheets (all galvanized sheets). But the vulgate was done...
