It’s not exactly common. Just looking for make/model, bonus points for trim level. And no, I was not working on it. I don’t have the skill or knowledge for this beautiful piece of machinery. WILLIAMSSW AND COBRAJOE GOT IT AT THE SAME TIME! ALFA MILANO! VERDE EVEN!

AWD..... twist beam rear axle with watt’s link... INBOARD rear discs... WTF?

Oil pan looks Renault-ish... now that that pic finally loaded... wait IS it AWD?

Alfa Romeo Milano?

Inboard brakes, DeDion rear suspension, watts linkage, trans axle... Those are all oddball components, and a Milano looks about the right age and price for something so used and yet using so much aluminum.

Inboard brakes and that oil pan... gotta be an Alfa. Only one I’ve seen like that was a Formula 3 car though so... not sure on the model. Alfasud maybe?

Thought so! The suspension setup and transaxle made me think of it, the wheels made me pretty sure.

Well, I was only mostly wrong. Wiki says it had inboard drum brakes.

The 75/Milano is to some extent just a comprehensive facelift of the 70s Nuova Giulietta - itself an Alfetta saloon (Sports Saloon in the US) with a sportier, younger appearance.

Alfa Romeo also found a way to freshen up the Alfetta but in a much more conservative manner: that was the 90, a Gandini design that unfortunately did not last long in the market.

Both 75/Milano and 90 received as top-of-the-range the fabulous Busso V6. (Alfettas and Giuliettas never did but it is a fairly easy swap.)

The Alfetta GT/GTV/GTV6 coupés (actually 2-door fastbacks with a hatch, but well) were based on a shortened Alfetta floorpan; the very latest GTV2000 and GTV6, conversely, where based on a shortened 75/Milano floorpan.

They all share the same platform, suspension and De Dion layout.

That looks like a stupid design for brakes that isn’t worth the weight reduction at the wheels given the trouble it causes when it comes time for service.

Not surprised it’s something like an old Alfa.
