Alfa SZ?
 

I've just seen a really pretty looking Alfa, which I believe was an SZ, (after
a quick search on the Internet for pics). Very sporty looking car with 3
headlights on each side and a nice sounding engine. Anyone on here got one? Are
they rare / expensive? Any idea how much they sell for? I could really see
myself buying one ....

LHD only. Used prices now around £17,00 IIRC. Check autotrader. RZ was the
even rarer roadster version.

£17k if you're lucky.

Last one I saw for sale was at Alfa Aid - in excess of £20k.

<checks autotrader>

£17995 seems to be the entry point.

Why are they all such low mileage? - Being based on the 75, there's no
reason why they wouldn't make a decent daily driver.

Rarity. Fule consumption (IIRC the engine is a tuned 3.2, but 3l at
least) Oh, and being hand built (assembled / hurled together /
modeled, delete as applicable) I guess repair of the body is not that
simple

Get one for me too. Steve knows my feelings on the SZ well. :)

Only officialy available in 2 colours: Red for the SZ, yellow for the
RZ.
Saw a *fantastic* SZ in black at last year's National Alfa Day. Steve
might even get the photos up. Menawhile:

not that true ..... SZ was officially available only in Red, the RZ
officialy: Yellow, Red, Black ..... then there were some exepctions made
for Mr. Zagato personally (silver RZ and black SZ I think)

Rocking horse ****. Never seen one myself, although Catman's photos suggest
there are more of them than I thought. They must be the only ones in the
country.

The RZ/SZ site's history is wrong in one respect. It says that the
engine was a 3.0 liter DUAL overhead cam unit. It was not, it was a
stock 3.0-liter 'S' engine which was a SINGLE overhead cam motor. Alfa
didn't have a DOHC V-6 until 1994.

Well, to be fair, there *are* two cams ;)
