We've heard a couple of harsh descriptions of the styling of our Alfa Romeo Milano from creative observers. The best - and sadly, most accurate - is probably "VW Jetta that has been rear-ended". Key on a Milano, though, and the design doesn't seem to have as much bearing on the experience as the sweet Busso V6 sound does.

We love the styling on the Milano, and are fans of Ermanno Cressoni's work on the Alfa Romeo 33 as well. That said, we can't imagine that most people align with us on the 33, so we are left wondering: how did the 33 win over so many people? Affordability is probably key here, but we've heard that the handling on the 33 is very entertaining. We have to wonder about that, because despite the low position of the engine, it does seem to lie entirely in front of the front axle - not ideal for directional changes.

Beautiful 1994 Alfa Romeo 33 5 Speed manual, H4 engine 1,351cc 1.3L Fuel Injection, Only 29,530 miles! Momo Corse steering wheel, Sparco pedals, Sparco Sport/Performance lowering springs and Super Sprint exhaust. VIN number ZAR90700005953579. 

The seller of this car is located in the United States and is auctioning off a car that they plan to import in the future - keep that in mind if bidding. The photos, while not great for the purpose of this post, do seem to capture most of the body surfaces and reveal a car with a condition in line with the reported mileage. Looking at the under-hood shots, there is a lot to like here. No leaks are apparent, and the original plating is visible on many of the components.

We think that one of these would look cool parked next to its Alfa 164 contemporary. A Cressoni connoisseur, if such a thing exists, might even park one next to an Alfa Milano. In any case, this would certainly be an interesting addition to a collection in North America, where these were never offered new.
