Swiss bank vault

A safe as a Swiss bank vault: invest in a 1980s Alfa legend…
As long as we’ve known Jelenek insider, Max W, he’s always hankered after Alfa Romeo’s angular ‘80s ancestor to the 8C Competizione - the legendary Sprint Zegato (SZ). According to London-based Max, he’s acquired “one of the UK’s finest examples” making a rare car to find, even rarer. Alfa produced only 1036 examples from 1989 – 1993 (in any colour, as long as it was Alfa red), having launched Antonio Castellana’s prototype for Zegato at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show. Mechanically based on the 3.0 litre Alfa 75 group A rally car, the SZ boasted more than muscular looks with a meaty 210 HP V6 motor and precision Lancia-Fiat works’ suspension. Although UK buyers won’t find one of these on Pistonheads anytime soon, an almost new (5,000 Km) example is currently up for sale in Switzerland) which at 44,000 Euro seems like a sound long-term investment.
