Total United States sales for 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C = 238 units
I had a test drive in a 4C Spider a few years ago - I really wanted to like it but it was one of the worst handling cars I've ever driven - I went and bought another Elise instead !
I love Alfas and tried to book a test drive when they were first
announced, I never even received a reply. Looks like I didn't
miss much!

Major Dad,
it is an AEC Matador in the National Tansport museum in Ireland. You can read about the vehicle if you Google the truck registration. My dad owned a truck version in the late 1940s and used it in his business.
