I was driving along down here in Tasmania, minding my own business (pretty much all you can do here) and stumbled across an SZ . Left hand drive, so it's obviously an import... In fact I'm not sure they were even sold here?
I was stupid enough not to catch the plates, so I'm not sure where it was from.
Alfas aren't all too common down in Tasmania, so I was very surprised to see such a rare car. Does anyone know of any others that were sent to our big brown country?

Re: SZ in Oz
A friends dad was involved with alfa Australia in the 90s and has some pics of a car that was sent down here for a show circuit but it went home after that... My guess?
Private import with no 'real' rego! Good on him!!

Re: SZ in Oz
Cheers for the reply, Jules.
I did some snooping and got a hold of the owner's name, turns out he is a mate of my dad and a long time addict (Six 75s, a GTV6 or two and now an SZ).
Only arrived in the state yesterday and is on a Victorian import permit of some kind, I'm a little sketchy on the details.
Apparantly he doesn't like it!?

Re: SZ in Oz
SZ were apparently sold in Japan, maybe an import from there?
Re: SZ in Oz
I'll have to ask him next time he appears at a club meet. If that ever happens...
I'll try and take some proper photos if I get a chance.
Japan got more than 100 out of the 1036 made, apparantly; So it's highly possible.
So far its the only one I've heard of in the country. Feel free to correct me on that.
