Since its first owner, this Alfa Romeo has met only appreciative and careful owners. The first owner of this 75 was a Finnair pilot who bought it when he retired. The car was serviced at an authorised dealership and it has had met minimal miles. The car continued to circulate with similar type owners, and to the pleasant surprise of the Originalita council, which performs the inspection, the car is amazingly original in all its parts, the engine room and luggage compartment are in exemplary good condition, like in a 75 that has just rolled off the factory production line. The instrument panel has had to be replaced, but according to the owner's report, it has been driven for 130,000 km only. Its paintwork is original, as well as the original rims are like new. Even a part such as the plastic strip at the bottom of the tailgate is original and like new.
This 75 is in the Finnish museum car register. This Concorse d'Originalita winner can be summed up in two sentences: "The car is unique in its originality, technical condition and cleanliness. It belongs to the rare best of Alfa Romeos brought to Finland by an importer authorized by Alfa Romeo."
