Re: AR model numbers, bis



John Hertzman gave a list:

Tipo 905 = 33, to 1990
Tipo 907 = 33, from1990
Tipo 162 = 90, 75, SZ coupe & roadster
Tipo 164 = 164 (all variants)
Tipo 167 = 155
Tipo 916 = Spider(new) & GTV 
Tipo 930 = 145 and 146

To which I can add:

Tipo 901 = Alfasud sedans (even those with three and five doors)
Tipo 902 = Alfasud Sprints and Alfa Sprints (not the US Alfettas)

Which brings me to another, not strictly Alfa-related, point. How can
you possibly have a 3-door, or 5-door sedan? Or the Rover 4-door coupe
of the (?)70s. For that matter, are the Alfa GTV(eloce)s really coupes
if they have rear seats/upoiholstered parcel shelfes (and the 116s dared
to have a hatch)?

My dictionary has a coupe as "an enclosed two-door car with only one
seat or set of seats".

Even better is the Holden Commodor Berlina Station Wagon. Last time I
looked, a berlina was a sedan.

Car manufacturers and the truth - never the twain shall meet.
