1/24 Alfa Romeo S.Z. (1989)

[1959scudetto]

Now for something different:  the 1989 Alfa Romeo S.Z., a limited edition sports car, based on the Alfa 75, the suspension was taken from the Alfa 75 group A/IMSA car and modified by Giorgio Pianta.

Back then it was  the fastest Alfa Romeo production car (150 mph +) -  Only one official colour scheme was available: red with dark grey roof, tan leather interior.

Kits are rare, but a die-cast is available (from the 2010 Alfa Romeo Centenary collection): biggest issue are the lights (front lights have no lenses, backlights should be toned down with Tamiya smoke clear or something similar), stance is a tad too high – so a little bit of detail work will be necessary – here are the pics:

Such a tough looking little car like a bull dog

10 years ago, this model has been sold for € 10,00 ... it does need a little TLC - the pics show it untouched
