Does anyone have any experience with an Alfa Romeo alfasud?
Horizontal 4 banger, water cooled.....looks nice.

The transmission is what interested me.
Built with inboard disk brakes mounted on the transaxle...

It's one of the wheeler dealer shows on tonight.
I really like the brake setup, looks a lot like ours with a mechanical ebrake on the calipers too.

I had one and I rebuilt it from ground up.
The brakes on the transmission help the stability a lot.
I had an AlfaSud Sprint with brakes on the gearbox and my friend had a newer model that used the Alfa 33 brakes assembly in the traditional place, on the wheels. Mine handled a lot better.
The only bad part is that it eats more axles due to braking power being transmitted through then.
BTW, the AlfaSud was concepted by a high executive that left Porsche and joined Alfa. I could see a lot if similarities.
