I agree with Ian, I think the Sportiva was a jazzed up 1.5IE - I thought they were all white though, but your red one has just blown that idea out of the water!!

As far as I know the sportiva was a standard 1.5ie with a few bits bolted on (rear spoiler, different wheels, sunroof etc) to make a limited/special edition.
Alot of manufacturers do it, quite often towards the end of a models production or just to get them moving out of the showroom a bit quicker.
Theres some more about it in a post on alfaowner.com

Thanks Bobber I think I may have to go and see it !

But what am I looking for ?

I know the Dutch Imola 33's looked different. They seemed lower and had a different interior.

Nobody know where I can get info about Sportiva RHD model ?

I work in Cyprus occasionally during the year and I run a 1992 (RHD) 33 1.5 IE Sportiva (locally imported from Italy by Alfa importer).

It does not have a Catalyst and I can't find anything that would suggest it is different from a standard IE.

Was the 'Sportiva' available in UK and does anyone know anything about them ?

Thanks
