Alfa Romeo Sprint Zagato

Weird ONES During the 90s, the Alfa Romeo Sprint Zagato (SZ) was only known by connoisseurs and people from the industry. It didn't get much attention and people that knew it was very critical. Mainly because of the looks. 

The Alfa Romeo Sprint Zagato (SZ) was renowned for three things: exotic design, superb handling, and remarkable drivability. These qualities made its owners proud and satisfied. Being a limited edition with only 1,036 units ever built also helped to raise its classic car status today.

But also because the performance wasn't very impressive compared to its competition. However, with time passing by and taste and opinions evolving, more and more people have caught themselves liking the design for different reasons which has caused a significant rise in the model's value.
