But Alfa made the same mistake as BL, it was not a hatchback (well not until 1981). If you wanted a hatch version you had to buy the Giardinetta estate or the Sprint. I had a Sprint after my short stint in an MGB. It was the first fast FWD I had. Great noise and great handling, except when the rear discs locked up under hard braking
