Hi John. Great article. I too think the 75 has aged well. It is possibly the best looking example of 80s design. When it first came out, few cars were wedge shaped, whereas now it is the norm, so it doesn't look strange like it did then. I have been the proud owner of four three litre models, including two Potenziatas. My son and I currently still have my original stock three litre 1987 red 75 and also a black 1989 three litre that we rescued from our Alfa mechanic's car park. He has maintained the car from new, but it suffered from standing outside for two years and required a fuel, ignition and brake overhaul that took us almost twelve months of work. It is now running perfectly. The fact that this car doesn't have a single spot of rust is proof that Alfa solved the rust problem by the time the 75 came out. This one is a project car and we are gradually modifying it. We fitted leather seats from a 2004 GT with a matching re-trimmed rear seat, which make it more comfortable to drive and the interior look less dated. I am hooked on Alfa's magnificent Busso V6 engines, having owned the four 75s, two 164s and currently a 2004 GT 3.2, which is the ultimate expression of one of the best engines ever made. By the way, contrary to popular opinion, the engine in the Potenziata was not a stock 164 version, but the same 200 BHP engine as the famous SZ and the 164Q.
