Doing the 105 Series Alfa Axle Hop |

 The 105 Series Alfa Romeos are the cars most non-Alfisti think of when you say “Alfa.” And that’s not surprising, as all of them — coupe (GTV), convertible (Spider) or sedan (Berlina) — offer a level of mechanical sophistication, build quality and pure driving fun which is hard to beat in their price ranges. In addition, any of these Alfas can be used without fear in modern traffic. While your collector-car insurance agency might not appreciate it, these cars could even be employed as daily drivers in many areas of the United States. Although the 750/101 Series Giuliettas and later Giulias firmly established Alfa Romeo as a volume manufacturer, the market failure of the 102 Series “Cast Iron” 2000s and the later, 6-cylinder 2600 cars proved that Alfa’s métier was in smaller cars. |
