I want to vote for the 1st 3, Old alfas are about the whole package of style, sound, & handling.
If you make a new thread and you scroll down, you will find a little checkbox that reads "Yes, post a poll with this thread"

The first one was a week in advance for Mitch.
The second one was for JaB.
And now I have a sore throat.

Re: What is it you like best about classic alfas

Having a 147 immediately qualifies you for multi-harumphing.


j/k

Sorry Jab, I can't be held responsible for other people's harrumphing. I just promised one from myself.

Hmmm... well strictly speaking the 147's is Mrs JaBs

I think any car you can get classic car insurance for should be considered a "Classic"
The company I'm with wouldn't insure a 1986 'Fester cos they don't consider it a classic

I don't know if there exist an official statement about what a classic Alfa is.

But for me classic alfas are all rear wheel drive versions and the sud / sprint as well

For the purposes of harrumphing, a classic would be any old Alfa which I covet.
