I think I’ve well established, in this space, my bona fides as an old school Ferrari snob. I grew up around the Ferrari Owner’s Club in the 1970s, so I have a reasonably warped sense of what a Ferrari is and isn’t. Part of my “warpage”, if you will, was...

Before the Ferraris, the Maseratis, the Abarths, and the Lamborghinis, Alfa Romeo was the quintessential Italian sports car maker—and there’s a common consensus that it all started with the 6C 1500 Sport.
