Re: Alfa 4R

Gee Zac,

I think that's a bit harsh.  Should we not include any "1750" 105 series car
as well.  After all they are so-named to conjure up memories of past
successes, as the engine is over 1750cc's capacity.  And what about the 116
series Giulietta ?

One could also include anything which had it's bodywork outsourced by AR
using that logic. (Junior Z, 750 Sprint etc).
