What did you do with your car recently that's memorable? Audi owner: I overtook a BMW M3 in the rain! Whoohoo! BMW owner: I went EvoEnduro! Volkswagen owner: I Stage 10 my car! It now makes 1000hp! Bring it on BMW/Audis! Alfa Romeo owner: I started my car! It was magical.

That Giugiaro body, that wooden steering rim, those dials.....what a beaut! You sir, are a legend! Please don't let her go

Bro, so good to see you like a happy kid with the Alfa! Simple, honest and mechanical with character. Looking forward to seeing you in it!

You got back your Alfa...must be feeling like fallen back into your first love all over again 😀 Fantastic rims

I’ve been waiting for this!! Awesome video as always, Chris😊

- All-aluminium 2.0-litre, 122PS @ 5300 rpm, 175Nm @ 4500 rpm, 4-cylinder Twin Cam (Polished alloy rocker cover, original centre-exit exhaust, hemispherical combustion chambers, forged steel crankshaft running in five main bearings, double row timing chain) - Twin Dell'Orto DHLA dual-throat carburettors - Veglia-Borletti gauges - Front engine, rear TRANSAXLE! - Goddamn INBOARD rear brake discs!!! - Double wishbone, torsion bar front suspension - De Dion rear suspension with Watt's linkage!

I had two of these in the early 80s. A wonderful car to drive. It is incredible your car is rust free.

Hi Chris, that’s a really really lovely Alfa you have running there!

So much memories. My dad used to own one back in '88 and its one of those cars that left a great impression on me since I was only 7 that time. The sound of the engine and seating at the backseat with the armrest down just like that in the video. Omg! Love this car!

Awesome chris, just awesome, have never seen an alfetta on the road

I love this car it reminds me a lot my father had one and I learned to drive with him, at the beginning the gear box was a nightmare specially from the first to the second gear but when you do it well wow the pleasure. I remember in Italy they were fine tuning the carburator with 2 tools a screw driver and the ear.

In 1976, I bought a 1975 2 liter USA Alfa Romeo Alfetta and drove it for several years in the Augusta, GA area. Until today I still dream and long for driving that car. It was a true pleasure in driving.

Suatu ketika dahulu ... Bapa saya pernah memilikinya .. Waktu itu saya masih kecil dan sampai sekarang saya masih ingat memori itu . Alangkah indahnya waktu itu dan kereta yang best pernah kami sekeluarga ada pada masa itu ( Kenangan )

I absolutely in love with the dashboard especially the instrument cluster and the manual gear knob! 😍

Although not an Alfa fan, it's always fascinating to see cars from this period and this one really looks pretty good considering its age. Hope you are able to get it back close to it's original condition.

A fantastic mechanic with a car around

Thanks for sharing this memorabilia car. I used to have one long time ago..alfa green. Had once the car stopped in the middle of Penang bridge due to overheat coil. Well..that's alfa. Fast powerfull and character..

Oh god. I was born in an alfetta 30 years ago and grew up with it till I was 10. Hearing that engine noise, there's tears streaming down my face. I need to get one and restore it while I still have my dad around.

Ni la kereta setiap kali balik sekolah mesti kilat kan engine sampai nampak muke .. last2 bapak aku jual sekitar tahun 2000 gitu ..aku sampai merajuk ngn bapak aku .. ada aku cari lagi kereta ni sebab engine dia ngn body keras giler Dan engine dia kuat .. minyak pun kuat giler .. kenangan

Beautiful car. My uncle own a white 1.8l Alfetta. I remember the sound of the engine, the handling and ride. An absolute fantastic car.

Nice dashboard, remind me of my mom's cabinet 😁, seriously darn nice meter cluster and board, the logo on the steering wheel look like an ancient art

Damn the dashboard area is really nice with wooden backgrounds

god wish i could get one myself they are mostly lhd got excited when you show rhd!!!!

😍masih utuh...👍 Bunyi enjin dan ekzos "jatuh cinta"🤣

Thats a beautiful Alfetta man. I have had many of these and they are always a heap if fun to drive. I never had that much trouble starting mine though.

Always love the rumble sound of alfa...

I remember when I received my brand new Black Alfasud Ti 1.5 QV and I was initially taking super care of her and I remember seeing a Doctor doing a drift in a similar Alfetta to the one you have… I said to myself if Doctors drive Alfa Romeo like this I should enjoy it and then the more I was getting familiar with the car the craziness kept going on till one day Boom and the car was destroyed… I repaired her but it was never the same and one of the saddest stories of my life even its 40 year old story but I still regret it. Everyone told me if you keep driving like that you will end up dead. Luckily I survived because my Alfa took care of me with super safety features but I admit it I didn’t take care of her as I should have 😢

This is antique malaysia police car,My uncle used to call it 'badak tampung', He also had this sentimental 1978 alfa romeo alfetta batalina that complete with alfa polished racing head, alfa racing crankshaft,dell orto racing carburetors,and few racing parts that alfa made specially for this car, he got it from fellow singaporean in the early 80s,the exterior and interior is quite same as this,only the wheels are different but also had 'alfa' and 'speed line' on it,It rarely broke down and never been send to workshop since he done everythings by himself,when still kid,i used to ride with his car few times,he loves to brag about his alfa by showing the good handling and acceleration in overtaking faster newer car and he never lied about that,the engine sounded like muscle car in high speed, last times i saw about 10 years ago he drive it to masjid and market,now i heard my cousin said the car are now park full time,since my uncle are now getting older,maybe he unable to give fast response on quite hard clutch and gas pedal on that alfa,he now used an automatic car,Honestly his alfa is the best car sound i ever ride with stock exhaust,Only who owns and used to ride it understand why jeremy clarkson said alfa romeo is sentimental to him..

Awesome Chris Bad Boy 💪🏽

Evoenduro 2020 with this 💪

Legend driving the legend. 👍 So nice

Oh my!1979!and look at all those wood trims!that glorious exhaust note too..

I JUST LOVE ALFA ROMEO !!

oh man, we can feel the love in this video lol

It will be a lot easier to start if you pull the choke - the right hand most of the two by your hand. leave it out when you start it and push it back in when it's warmed up.

This car got soul..love to see that.cool

Love it.. especially in high revs! But i am more into 75 TS. Damn those ceiling mounted power window switches!

AR is the pioneers who invent twin cam engine.... Those days, this is police favourites cars.... Pls post restoring progress video of this car....and oso Like to see u hands on with the car restoring... Cheers

I love the bonnet sound

My first was also an Alfetta. 1980. Then a 33QV 1.7 carbie. Followed by a GTV6 which I sold on pasal nak kawen for a 164 3.0 litri manual. Then 164 Auto and found it a bit lacklustre and bought back my old stick. My Alfas never ever let me down and the GTV6 sure as heck gave me plenty of mammaries those days...:-P

Dad had a Alfa Romeo GTV6. it was Red. Cruising down the roads at Jalan Parlimen in the 80s playing my Scarface soundtrack on cassette. Especially the song Push it to the limit because why not! it was the 80s Amazing times they were

I've had and restored many alfas....the best way to start it is pump petrol 2 times then depress pedal about half way down and then start ....

It's like getting back with an ex! And boy, does she growl with some tender loving care from you! Seriously, Alfas make fantastic exhaust noise!

Omg.. super cool classic car.

In 1979, I sat in the back of a polis version and was escorted back to school for ponteng. The mata2 opened the door for me bcos it had child lock for a wild child like me. Memories.

Beautiful car😊

What a Beauty 🏁🇮🇹❤️

Beautiful

Alfa is very much in my heart.

What a beauty🤤

Beautiful car

I love Alfas! I drive an Alfa Romeo Mito. I know it's not a classic, but I love it.

Tried desperately to buy one in the 80s. It was a 1979 like this in green. Gearbox started grinding on the day I went to collect it, so I left it there. Always regretted not getting it.

For a moment there I taught it rusted away under the tarp. Great car tho have a sprint myself, love 😍 it every time I get into it.

Supercool!!!!

dangg..same2...the car looks good, must be taken cared very well considering the rust issues..btw way was told to get those gas type extinguishers as those powder type will destroy wiring..

Old is gold bro

What a beautiful Alfa..and it is still in mint condition. Perfect, just perfect Chris 👍🏻

This car is a beauty. Haha, I also hope that I can buy back my Alfa GTV 1979 that I sold 20 years ago

You the man

The seats are fabric and look very comfortable. I remember my uncle had to go down to the center of the rear torsion beam to adjust the suspension height and suddenly become very stiff.🤦‍♂️

We're probably one of the few who would drive with our windows down just to listen to the symphony our engines make. A beauty with a NA V8 is on my mind atm. Should be home in a month or two. Life is short.just do it ;)

Well I'm not an Alfisti but somehow I can relate to the feeling of owning and driving a relic from the past. The problem we have today is that we are currently living in the era where cars are too good and what of a better word - emotionless. For couple of years, I've enjoyed 'quantity' driven performance cars that works like clockwork. It was all good until I tasted the old Satria GTI. Used to own one so to own one again, I had to get my brother to buy it hahaha. It wasn't a perfect car...but it was the perfect car to me. It was a joy whenever I have a chance to drive it around provided I didn't get stranded by the roadside. It gives more than just 'quantitative' driving, it makes you able to relive back the good old days where every sunday is sunday drive day and where every 1st saturday is track day. Oh well we grow up all right. But then, we don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing ;)

Beauty

40 years! Wow

Fully restored ? Good car..thumbs up

I remember living in police quarters 20 years ago, we have Alfa Romeo (sorry, to young to recognize the model), Fiat 131 (my father's and neighbour's), n old Volkswagen Beetle Park under our block. Nowadays where ever I live here in Klang valley, the sight of those 2 brands are very very very rare. It's always Axia, Myvi, City, Vios.

Wow, Chris. You remembered our road trip. Kind of hazy to me. Was it the same owner with the lime green BMW 2002? Wonder what happened to that beauty?

Oh brilliant...

Mcm saya la. Guna 405 gtx model thn 89.gun dari thn 2000.. thn 2017 jual..sekarang merindu kembali

once upon a time, PDRM had them as patrol cars

Kereta Polis suatu ketika dahulu.. saya pun minat pada kereta Alfa Romeo.. doakan saya supaya dpt pakai/memiliki sebuah jentera Alfa Romeo.

Hello brother Chris - do you have a particular insurance company for old cars that are hard to be insured?

You can't consider yourself a true petrolhead unless you own an Alfa. (Jeremy Clarkson)

My first Alfa was back in 1976 and it was a GTV. I still regret the day I traded it in to a Pontiac dealer.

Wow the rear suspension, is it de-dion axle with watts links hybrid...

Kereta polis! Wah so cun the condition

I think this is a real driver's car. Brings back memories. Used to drive a sprint veloce

Hey Chris...cool Alfetta's...miss mine..an 84 model..BCBXXXX...wonder where she is now..

What a beaut. Colostomy bag made the best joke of the day.

Nothing like an Alfa : My first was a second hand similar model WN 6191 ( round lights ) / later my brother too got one an 81 model alfetta AAH 6175 ( square lights) & later upgraded to GTV PAN 7777 / sadly maintenance was a problem & had to sell off with a heavy heart : Italians & their great passion for coming out with great cars : can never beat them.

Alfa romeo.....passione

Wow..the last time I saw 1 was about 27 years ago..A real beauty..Amazing it has a rear transaxle.Does it run on timing chain or belt

Alfa romeo are wonderful cars

excellent repurchase

My first Alfa Romeo was the alfetta 79 2000 same car was white with light blue velour and black steerig wheel The wheels were the fins compongola 14 inch It was lovely car and that was in 1990 and then i hooked to the brand till now Curuntly i own: Alfa 75 2.5 88 model Alfa 156 2.5 v6 manual 1999 model Alfa 147 gta 2005 Alfa spider 916 2lt jts 2004 Alfa 159 2.2 jts 2008

I wonder if there is a nice series-1 Alfetta 2000 (4-round lights) for sale

At 70s,pdrm also used this model right?

4 cylinder already sound great. Imagine the 6. Videos dont do it justice anyway. The GT version look sick !

I wonder if pulling the choke would help it to start easier?

Nice story. If you really want to have some fun, get your mechanic to advance to the inlet cam and retard the exhaust ( an old Alfa trick increase the valve overlap) will give the top end more pep, but perhaps just leave well alone.

Ive not seen this on the road for a long time... used to be police car? In the 80's?.... love the car

I bought back my Alfetta 2.0 1980 also. Twice. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🥰😍

I have never seen any Alfa Romeo or Fiat go up in flames. VW's yes. Toyota yes. BMW, yes. Alfa, Fiat no.

I hope you dont make the mistake to sell it again, i regret every alfa that i sold. Also pulling the choke helps when u start it lol

Do you drive on the left in Malaysia?

Hey! Pay attention at the doors near the fence... damn l'alfetta con la guida a destra è bruttissima 😱

2.0l engine from 1979 fit into small sedan .. how she perform today ? Do genting run one day ? Hahaha.. i love oldskul car too .. so great in thier way ..

As I know In the 80 all police patrol car were alfa Romeo. I jus finished college & started work staying with my cousins all bachelors. They used to own Fiat 131 TC & Fiat 131 Racing. Every weekend used to travel and there were no North South Highway. Those were the days & really miss the Fiat.. Fiat Racing/TC kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edyAqrB0pseUhH0.html Fiat 131/TC kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsWHi5qIktOblH0.html

I'm internally screaming right now. I always wanted to find classic Alfa Romeo but I never found the one I want. My dad had a 166 V6 but he sold it. So any advice Alfa 164 and what should I look out for?
