Readers' Photos # 98: Joseph's Alfetta Sportiva
Regular readers will no doubt remember Joseph's Alfetta Sportiva tributo, which appeared in this blog as Readers' Photos # 93, along with his Lancia Fulvia Zagato Sport and super-beautiful Alfa Montreal (Readers' Photos #s 94 and 95, respectively). If so, they'd likely recall that the Canberra Correspondent ascertained that the tributo would soon be making way for a genuine Sportiva and be as pleased as me to see that the real deal has now arrived!
It's another lovely example of the marque and seems to have retained all its Sportiva accoutrements, including the original decals and stripes, a Momo steering wheel and four what are possibly Campagnolo alloy wheels (?). I am, however, a bit confused as to what series it is, as the rectangular headlights suggest a second generation car but I've seen others on the internet, also described thus, but with the quad round light front ends.
Whatever series it is, it's a very, very handsome car and will complement Joseph's Italian stable perfectly. It's also comforting to know that it's in good hands and will almost certainly be gracing the roads for a good many years to come.
