1978 Alfa Romeo Alfetta
The Alfa Romeo Alfetta, introduced in the early 1970s, quickly became known as one of the most engaging sporting saloons of its era. Its name — meaning “Little Alfa” — was a nod to Alfa’s pre-war racing success, but the car itself became a modern classic thanks to its innovative transaxle layout, sharp handling, and timeless Italian design. Favoured by enthusiasts for its balance and character, the Alfetta has secured its place in motoring culture as a driver’s car first and foremost.
This 1978 Alfetta sedan presents in appealing Alfa Red with beige leather trim and wood veneer inlays. Power comes from a 2.0L twin-cam inline-four producing around 96kW, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Features include a black leather deep-dish steering wheel and newly fitted Campagnola mag wheels. The odometer shows 15,042 km, though this is not warranted.
Originally delivered to South Africa before being imported to Australia, the car passed compliance in August 2024. The vendor notes cosmetic rust spots on the bonnet and windscreen surround. It starts when the amber light is glowing, but low revs at idle need attention, and the red light must come on before running.
The car benefits from recent servicing in February 2024 at 14,378 km, which included an oil and filter change, replacement of spark plugs, air filter, fan belt, and fuel filter. It is offered with its service booklet, jack, spare wheel, and two keys.
Praised in period road tests for blending everyday practicality with sporting flair, the Alfetta embodied Alfa Romeo’s racing DNA in a usable four-door package. Today, it remains an affordable gateway into classic Italian motoring with unmistakable charm and presence.
