1980' Alfa Romeo Alfetta

The Alfa Romeo Alfetta is a three-box, front-engine, 5-seat saloon that was designed by “Centro Stile Alfa Romeo” and manufactured between 1972 and 1987.
A fastback coupé version would also be produced, for a total of 400,000 units leaving the Italian brand's factory.
The name Alfetta, which means small Alfa, derived from the nickname given to the Alfa Romeo Type 159 Alfetta, a victorious Formula 1 car that left the scene in 1951.
The Alfetta debuted a new arrangement of the clutch and transmission assembly placing them at the rear of the car, also adding the differential, like the 158/159 Alfetta competition cars, providing better weight distribution and a lower center of gravity. , in order to optimize its dynamic behavior, something that was emphasized in the “reviews” at the time.
At the “Geneva Motor Show” in 1977, the Alfetta was launched with a 2-liter engine, which would become the top of the model range and replace the Alfa Romeo 2,000 Berlina. This model was 10.5cm longer than the others and had, among others, a redesigned front.
Just 1 year later the 2.0 engine would be updated and the Alfetta 2.000L would appear.
The Alfa Romeo Alfetta would be used by the “Carabinieri” and the “Polizia di Stato” and would become known worldwide when it was the car used by former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro at the time of his kidnapping by the Red Brigades.
This unit underwent a thorough overhaul in terms of the engine, sheet metal and paintwork, having received several new materials as well as the collector and complete exhaust line in stainless steel.
It comes with a file containing invoices/proof of repairs and replaced material and inspection history provided by IMT.
