1988 Alfa Romeo 33 S review from Belgium
"Great little car, perfect companion on small roads"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
RUST, RUST, holes in the floor, around the front screen, rear screen, doors, wheel arches, trunk floor (All fixed now). Mechanically it has been extremely reliable, only the gearbox broke at 143.000km.
General comments?
Fun, drives like a kart, makes the noises of a Porsche. I love that boxer sound.
