Looks great, just bought a sad vandalised blue A reg base model...2 in the fold...

Should machine polish out, but has Alan Partridge cock element to it...

Bought this about 15 years ago in Derby.
The story was, the mother went to the local car dealers after their old 40's car died and asked for the cheapest new car they had to replace it.
The 4 was delivered to the house, the son took one look at it and refused to ever drive it.
The next time it came out of the garage was when I got it, had 75 miles on the clock.
Did some of the work needed and sold it to a collector in Holland.

My, now sold early base 14 and my for sale late full monty turbo diesel...

For our younger viewers, Alfa Romeo's commercial division made a fantastic range of vehicles, from heavy lorries to vans into the 1980's after which the AR badge was often seen on IVECO/FIAT vans etc. You can still, if you're lucky, see the comically named Alfa Romeo Romeo in active duty in remoter parts of Italy along with the 'F12'.

Alfa Romeo F12.

Lancia also had a commercial vehicles division making a wide range from lorries to vans, again from the 80's the Lancias became a badge on an IVECO.

Lancia Esagamma

This is interesting - it's UK registered and has another comedy name the Lancia Super Jolly.
I became aware of Lancia commercials in an old Observers Book of Commercial Vehicles which showed one of these, later rebranded as either a FIAT or  IVECO, but originally built as a Lancia - the, not so comically named, '6640', it floated regardless of it's 4mm armour.


I suspect Lancias and Alfa Romeos independent commercial production stopped when FIAT bought them and rationalised the commercial vehicle portfolio (the heavy divisions becoming part of IVECO).
 

Skoda Skopak, which uses Skoda Octavia chassis and running gear. Built in Karachi, Pakistan between 1968 to 1971:

 

The question is too tough!
Sending a crack team of Autoshite forensic auditors is the only way!
Pack up your kids with their note books and crayons and 2 to 3 weeks should get it done!

So I just dont understand this stuff anymore and that's after a 40 year career of shite buying and selling.
Daughter needed a cheap car, so found a v nice 54 plate Clio, 60,000 service history and long mot, drives perfectly bought for £400. Crazy cheap.
Son needs to sell his C1, 10 plate, super condition and v low miles, so I sell it easily for £2000. For a 10 year old supermini, crazy expensive.
Wanted to buy a nice old 1991 french saloon, 100,000 and no mot, they want £4000 for it. Crazy crazy expensive.
Selling my 1976 CX, paid to much for it, then spent the thick end of £4000 on it, now trying to get £3000 for it. About right...
When every piece of crap in a barn is more. Crazy...
