Breras were known to be not well built. They were actually manufactured not by Alfa but by the Pininfarina design house factory.

Interesting. I don’t know much about Italian cars, tbh. Despite driving some over the years I never owned one. If I was ever to buy a classic car though (unlikely), it’d be a Lancia Delta Integrale.

Nondescript looking hatchback but utterly insane. Under the bonnet, you stare in wonder at how they got the engine in. Shame Lancia’s rotted on a cloudy day. Wonderful bonkers machine though and worth a fortune.

I used to drive sporty Lancias before the rust scandal, which was a bit over stated at the time. Then Lancia stopped RHD versions and that was that. The rust problem was down to a Fiat/USSR deal to import steel, which was poor quality, as well as using recycled steel which was also poor quality (possible Mafia involvement). Such a historic car name which should be rehabilitated. Lancia still produce more cars per annum than Alfa Romeo due to the popularity of the Ypsilon city car in Italy. I did consider an Integrale but the plasticy interior was dire, as well as it being LHD (apart from a few conversions done in the UK.)
