Italian cars are noted for their extremely “lively” engines and a totally unique “crackle” from their exhaust pipes. These have been the unique hallmarks of this marque from its’ inception right up to the present day models. Being the owner of an Italian racing car (small, but super efficient) I can verify this statement.
However, I have chosen here to illustrate a model of the Alpha Romeo name, from earlier times. These cars, of which only a few remain, were the epitomy of style, glamour and desireability, in their time. And unlike modern cars, had engines that could, with a bit of knowledge and fairly basic tools, be kept running perfectly.
