Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Reportedly driven less than 1,000 miles since restoration a number of years ago. Older respray that was never all that great to begin with. Drips around the panel edges and orange peel on the tail and left rear fender. Faded overall. The panels themselves have uneven fit. Upholstery is very good, but original gauges and steering wheel are showing their age, and the painted portions of the dash and doors are of the same average quality and dull finish as the outside. The bumper chrome is quite good, but the rest of the brightwork is old and dull. The engine bay is quite tidy, and the frame is clean and dry. This is an older enthusiast restoration of acceptable quality. It makes for an honest little Alfa and a fun casual driver.
Market commentary
This was not a bad car by any means, but its flaws stuck out in the field of immaculately presented cars that surrounded it. The RM bidders may have expected more, but they nevertheless made this is an expensive Alfa Normale.
