Wow that Positano Yellow is a real looker. I had a 1980 in that cream color that 90 % of all Spiders came in. With a little wax it would almost become a beautiful shade of dull.

Isn't the leading sedan (barely peeking its tail into the pic) an Alfa?

I think it is an Alfa ('63 Giulia TI?) and sorry Fin but those are Fiat 124 sedans, not 125s, .
 
The Spider wears a Turin plate (TO=Torino) and the white Fiat berlina wears a Roman Plate (ROma=Rome).

I'm gonna guess a 1981 Datsun 210? And considering how well they held up from that era, I'd say that one almost qualifies as rust-free!
 
It's kinda funny, how with that era of 210, the other bodystyles seem like diminutive little things, but the wagon actually seems a bit large-ish.

I test drove one of those. 108hp on the SI.
 
I remember the HF model had 62hp and the middle model (I forget the model designation, was it just called the "base"?) had 92hp.
 
At the time, the HF was $300 cheaper, but 30hp for $300 sounds like a bargain at $10/horse.
 
I considered the Civic Si, the Swift GT, but ended up with a 91 Ford Escort GT. It had 127hp, which was a lot for a cheap hatch at the time, and more torque than my other choices. The powertrain held up well but the interior had pieces falling off and the motorized mice seatbelts drove my passengers nuts.

Hmm, I owned a 1980 210 coupe, and it seemed a bit different. Those rear doors seem mighty long for some reason.
 
Did they have a model between the 210 and the 510/Maxima?
