Alfa SZ? by
Ppelectron
I've just seen a really pretty looking Alfa, which I believe was an SZ, (after
a quick search on the Internet for pics). Very sporty looking car with 3
headlights on each side and a nice sounding engine. Anyone on here got one? Are
they rare / expensive? Any idea how much they sell for? I could...
