1988 Alfa Romeo 33 Ti review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fantastic!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electrics are completely screwed, something goes wrong nearly every month.
Luckily I have small feet as those pedals just aren't designed for work-boots. I have hit the gas a couple of times going for the brake!
General comments?
Beautiful car, the paint and body are still perfect due to the careful previous owners (thank you).
Handles like it's on rails, hardly any body roll. This precision handling saved me from T-boning some idiot one day, any other car and it would have been all over rover!
I love the sound the engine makes as it sits on 4500rpm chewing through the hills.
I will never own anything else.
