The armor-plated Alfa 6 you describe was standard issue for top military
and diplomatic personnel in the late 80s/early 90s.  My father was issued
one (and a carabiniere as a driver) when he was stationed in Tirana in
'91-93.  Performance was a bit sluggish compared to the factory Alfa 6 he
still has today.
