turbodelta alfetta's con't

I agree with John H (Stateside) that:

It is entirely possible that the Autodelta turbo "kit" was added to the Alfetta
Sedan by Alfa Romeo Australia. This my have been to boost the sales of the sedan
vs the coupe. This would also explain the extreme scarcity of Turbodelta GTV's
in this country.

John's reasoning on the homologation issue can't be faulted.

I have a road test of the Turbodelta Sedan somewhere (not to hand) which may
offer some clues.
