a discussion on reliability in the comments section of this story refers to Alfa owners as near cultist....to them , I say...I resemble that remark!

I mean... sure. If you were in fact defending the dependability of an ‘83 Spyder? That would be cultish. But you couldn’t sell something that dodgy today. All cars in the 70s/80s/90s were pretty unreliable.

Yeah they were. I had an 1982 GTV6 Balloco SE back then and I can't wait for the new one.

I had both 1988, 1989 Milano Verdes......reliability wasn't all that bad , but they both ate a little olio.

My 1993 164 was VERY reliable for 9+ yrs. Only had to repair the ZF tranny seals at 60K. So it was german unreliability!

all my Alfa's were reliable - but none had the bosch FI on later spiders, so I can't comment on 1983 versions.

I had a '95 164 LS, sold it around 55k miles....and pretty much the same. I did the clutch right near the end, other than that it was just basic service.

Also heard that we will be getting a new 8C. Always like the last 8C even just from a design perspective. Maybe now we can get something fun with Ferrari DNA. Maserati tried for many years and failed!

Ferrari's have Alfa dna, no reason to wish for the reverse.
