AROC Concours d'Elegance winner surely too good to miss and yours for £19,995. Tempted?
The Alfa Romeo 75 is a curious car. It’s not conventionally good-looking, but it looks good. Different, but not straying into the realms of odd. And it’s one of those rare Alfas from this period and beyond that has its drive going to the back wheels. That’s a definite plus. It was that point that nearly made me buy one at auction many moons ago – I arrived with no intention of buying a 75, but when I saw one sitting in the auction hall I thought, ‘yeah, I’ll have a bit of that.
Still, the seed of Alfaholism was sown in those early years, even if Nick’s first taste of actually driving a 75 was a disappointment. Now, I reckon he had a result here, because having just passed his test he was let loose on his dad’s 75. That makes me well jealous. My old man wouldn’t let me anywhere near his car when I was a novice driver, and it was just an old Mk2 Cavalier estate. The idea of driving something this exotic is astonishing.
That’s how he came by this 75. It was a club member’s car, so he knew its provenance. He also knew it was an unrestored and largely original example that had been dry stored and, crucially, never met a welding torch. And just as importantly, he knew it had been loved like a favourite child. It came with proof that others loved it, too, having won the Alfa club’s Concours d'Elegance – not once but twice, with the rosettes to prove it. It’s also featured in Auto Italia as the best of its kind.
