This episode is largely dedicated to the Arna (therefore 4 stars, although being presente only in this episode). This Arna should be "the last existing unit" (in reality, it's not really so ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

What's left of Japanese in this car? |

Well the whole body is Japanese. The mechanic was used also for some versions of the Nissan Cherry, some of them built in Italy as well. |

Most of it. The only Italian bits are the engine, trim details and final assembly in Naples. Eveything else is Nissan Cherry, using pre-built cars which arrived from J. See info at /vehicle_38105-Nissan-Cherry-Europe-920-1985.html . |

I've read somewhere (can't remember exactly where, Wikipedia perhaps, so not much info reliable in that case) that the engine compartment had to be modified (enlarged I think) by Alfa Romeo in order to fully accommodate Italian engines. I don't know if this may help to qualify as Italian-made vehicle here... (For example I never understood why a Seat 127 or 131 or Ritmo and perhaps others I can't recall now are considered Spanish models, what's of Spanish inside these models? Although some other models were indeed modified by Seat, what about those?) |

It sounds feasible, since the Cherry had a transverse in line four and the Alfa engine was a boxer. |

I've read this too somewhere. Agree for the issue of the Seats. |
