RE: Alfa Romeo SZ | Spotted
Discussion
loved them when they came out, I remember me and my dad looking for a car for me in Enschede, then I spotted the then new SZ in a Alfa showroom, so we stopped and I had to take a look, that dealer was closed so looked through the windows, hands on the window and my nose as well :-) lovely.
but now...nah, they are to high/narrow and seem to have some expensive things, as someone else mentioned body parts and lights.
no idea how the steel chassis ala 75 is... rusty like its familie? then those plastic body parts won't help much.
also wondering, those plastic body parts, are they the same material as say the BMW Z1? so after many years the material gets brittle? or fragile?
at the time 200+ hp wow but nowadays...hm
nah, ok still a different/nice? car when you spot one on the streets you look after it, or how you say that, but buying one? nah... I would not want one, not even for say 25k the interior also looks euhm...
as someone else mentioned, then I rather would have a Alfa Montreal and some money reserve.

Absolutely wonderful, I'd love one, yet I'd always know deep down an Alfa 75 3.0 V6 does the same job for a fractuon of the price!
No.Not in the looks category.
And for performance: it's SWB so you'd struggle to keep up.
This or a 964? No hard choice.
Always loved these. Yes, ugly to some, but elegant in a sort of Brutalist Architecture sort of way.
When I bought my Corrado VR6 in 1996 I could have had one for the same money. Kind of regretting that now given how the SZ had risen in value. Although I don't feel *too* bad about this because I did buy a TVR Sagaris when they were at their lowest price ever.
edit: Having said that, I don't think it has aged well; it looks a lot taller and narrower than I remember it being!
