    I've had an Alfasud and a Spider. Never had any reliability problems with them, and Alfas from that era are some of the best-sounding cars ever made. The Alfasud unfortunately was built to rust away, and the Spider was not a real sports car - more a tourer. But I enjoyed every minute driving them all over Europe.

    Why is such a large, OHC engine, so low on HP and torque? I am confused, this looked like such an impressive engine, I was expecting 6 or 7 hundred of both.

    seeing as it's built in the 1950's, and is either 2.8 or 3.2 litre, that's not a bad output. Todays 6.0 V8's get the numbers you are expecting. Just. This is over 70 years old. I say it did ok.

    @@bobbyduke777 It was a race bike. Race engines can make big power for a short time. This is a road car, designed to last, be reliable and tractable. It isn't so amazing. The big american V8's of the same period were also pretty low powered, especially considering that a 7 litre engine in a factory car could at best about 350 to 400 hp. !although most were around 250..) Double the capacity of this little V8, and just about double the power. There was a supercharged version of this tiny V8 that could push about 350bhp.. Even in the eighties, 60bhp per litre was the norm. for most road cars and 85 for motorcycle engines. Even a Ford Cosworth DFV was only 400 bhp back in the 60's and 70's and that was an F1 engine.

    Honey, you're driving a classic Rolls Royce. Shouldn't your hair be at least, pulled back with a bow or something? Aside from that, this is a rather pleasant drive, I'm sure. I wonder, dear, are we in California? I wouldn't mind looking over to the right every now & then, but for some odd reason, the cameraman is fixated on you, the girl with the messy hair blowing wildly in her face.

    I love these cars... but I have 2011 Genesis with a 4.6 V8 and 385 HP, it would be difficult to transition back to something so slow. These put out like 190 HP in '84?

    I had a '70 C30 Longhorn in light olive green with the black interior . Mine was 402 BBC with TH 400 powered , backed up by 4.56 gears . A previous owner had let the rear brake shoes get down to the rivets and destroy the drums . New 13X3 inch drums weren't available anywhere, so we turned them as far as we dared and put disc brakes on the front using spindles and ball joints from a '75 C20 to get it to stop .
