That would be very rare in the UK and painted back to it's Orange would be as Cool as.

Don’t think I’ve seen a rally car. There was a super touring 21

1964 Alfa Romeo Dauphine​

Alfa Romeo were originally stated by a Frenchman Alexander Daracq to build versions of his Darracq 8/10HP in Italy so the Dauphine was only following the age old tradition
