1986 Alfa Romeo 33 QV review from Australia and New Zealand
"Loads of class and personality in a small-car package."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cam shafts required repair on purchasing the car, very costly.
A small amount of rust has developed on exterior below rear hatch.
General comments?
The car accelerates at a reasonable pace and cruises nicely at open road speed with excellent handling.
Exotic styling and tasteful upholstery.
On the downside it uses more gas than a typical 1.5 car, averaging 13L/100km urban driving, and 10L / 100km open road.
There are rattles coming from the back, possibly squeaky suspension.
