That looks like my father's old Datsun.
Datsuns won't sound the same. Ride quality is way above datsun standard. The gear ratio( manual) all well spaced. Steering nicely weighted. And since lancia was under Fiat group, its engine was reliable.

Nice...

I also like the Karmann Ghia and Triumph GT6 from that era...
Between the italians, Germans and the Brits, I think the Triumphs are lower maintenance, parts are more accessible, straight forward engineering too. The GT6 isn't that common, it's the one with six cylinders? SU carburettors too I think, like the Spitfire and the MGs. The Karmann Ghia has lots of mojo, rear engine, twin Solex carburettors. The good old days of everything mechanical, we can even tune the carburettors ourselves to adjust fuel mixture.

That brand has g9ne for good as a car maker, but I think they still make bikes and bras.

Alfa Romeo 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo – 33-unit limited run for the US; homage to mid-engined classic



Five years on from the debut of the production Alfa Romeo 4C Spider comes a modern-day homage to the Italian automaker’s 1967 33 Stradale mid-engined classic – the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo. Just 33 units of these will be bound for the United States market, and this wears a red finish on its visible carbon-fibre monocoque to go with its Rosso Villa d’Este tri-coat exterior paint.

If one does not have upwards of US$50 mil to splash on a 1962-64 Ferrari 250 GTO, there's always the 1963-67 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ. Only US$200K-300K.

Drove one of these on north south expressway at 200km/ hr. When it was possible back then due to low traffic. Must watch out for lorries overtaking as from far, if you do not brake early, msy end up underneath them quite literally. For lorry drivers, they do not expect you to drive do fast.
Italian cars have emotions. You can feel their passion in design and manufacturing. It feels alive when driving them unlike say german or Japanese cars.

The Fiat 124 Sports of 1971 -74 looked like this one. What model is this?

Such a shame that a name of such heritage is perishing. Compared to Bianchi which has been far more successful and flow with the times
