I just rang around to check this out. The garages I rang reckon
that late 1983 to 1985 Alfetta GTVs, Strada GTVs (not sure of
their year - was it 1983?), and 116 Guiliettas have the flat
filter airbox. However, all of this information is verbal and I
have yet to find a definitive hard copy source.

Hmm... this goes against what I was told above! Is there a
record of the features of each year anywhere? It would be a
handy reference.
