RE: Modern Giulietta sedan (saloon)

Heheh.  
But panelbeaters don't 'panelbeat' so much as 'do panelbeating.'  
As in: "I need to do some panelbeating on my car.'  

Yes, the 116 Giulietta is the direct descendent of the Alfetta, and the precursor to the 75/Milano.  It shares drivetrain, suspension and brakes with the Alfetta, but came packaged in a smaller, lighter body.  This body was then the basis for the 75/Milano -- the bodywork is pretty similar to the back of the front doors, but then they went and made the tail longer and the whole car heavier again.  My car has a truncated little kamm tail, and almost no rear overhang.  

Anthony.

Ah yes, doesn't this car have the rear transaxle like the bigger Milano? 
There's one in Calgary, owed by the Italian body shop owner (he just 
finished a fantastic "restoration" of two damaged 164 by cutting the back 
end of a front ended car and welding it to the front end of a rear ended 
car, beautiful workmanship by Italians who really know how to "panel beat" 
as the British/NZ/Aussies say, you should see his "rolled" Ferrari 308!). 
This car should be a jewel if the ergonomics don't drive you nuts.

Cheers
