1988 Alfa Romeo 33 Ti review from UK and Ireland
"A worthy opponent to any sporty four-door, fast and corners like an F1 car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Most recently the gearbox has finally gone; not sure at what mileage as the speedo hasn't worked since we bought the car!
The engine has been on the way out for some time, which isn't surprising as Alfa's are constantly driven at their limit.
Previously the only problem we've had is with the front suspension arms going.
General comments?
The car has made its mark and as they say 'Once you have owned an Alfa you'll never have another car!' After buying her for £250 and putting her through the MOT she is now worth over a grand, and despite the fact it hasn't proven as reliable as our other car, that head-turning factor you get as you drive through town, the engine humming, is priceless!
