Allestimento Speciale Numerato

To say that the Alfa 75 is an enthusiasts’ darling is perhaps an understatement. The Italian Alfisti worship this car, and there are plenty of good reasons for doing so.

Introduced in 1985 and manufactured until 1992, the Alfa 75 was arguably the last old-school Alfa Romeo, and it’s also been the last rear-wheel-drive saloon until the arrival of the 2015 Giulia. So naturally, this makes all 75s collectible, and prices have been steadily rising over the last decade.
Well over 300.000 Alfa 75s were made, though, and not all were created equal: this achingly beautiful example, resplendent in the classic Rosso Alfa 130 color, is one of the most coveted models of all: it’s a 1991 Twin Spark ASN, which stands for Allestimento Speciale Numerato.

The end is near

Known outside Italy as either Limited Edition or Podium, it was kind of a sendoff, a farewell to two of the most beloved versions of the Alfa 75 as this model’s production began to be wound down: the Twin Spark mentioned above and the Turbo Quadrifoglio Verde.

the ASN package adds the finishing touches to a shape that’s already got plenty of character
