Not necessarily... the Turbodelta came in both sedan and GTV form. Certainly in
Australia the sedan's outnumbered the GTV's at least 10-1. The d'Amico-Tabucci
figures for the "Alfetta Turbodelta" could be for the combined sedan and GTV. If
the Australian ratio was common then this would make for approximately 50
Turbodelta GTV's and henceforth comparitive rarity to the Nuova Giulietta.
