A mate at college had a wonderful Alfetta GT. It was great for impecunious students. Not.
Wonderful exhaust note, superb styling as only the Italians can manage (his was an early chrome bumper model), and a real babe magnet (after my Moggy Minor).
But the rust was so prevalent that the owner had given it a mat black paint job, so that every time he filled it more, it was easier to 'touch the paint up'. I kid you not, there was rust everywhere (windscreen surround, roof gutters, as well as the usual whelarches, door bottoms, wing tops, floor ...).
It was, until the next MOT, great fun.
