Alfa Romeo Alfa 6 (Sei): The Italian Rolls-Royce

The Alfa Sei is the largest Alfa Romeo sedan ever offered. It's even longer and heavier than the chunky 166. Though the styling was quite bland, it was nevertheless a much-coveted car. Even the Pope had one.

Build quality was sub-par. Many of the 12,000-plus built between 1979 and 1986 died a slow rust-filled death. The original 2.5 liter V6 had a carburettor for every cylinder. I can't decide if the car is a mess or a quirky gift from the gods.
