I wonder if that was a Datsun or Alpha Sud

Well, it's not an Alfa Sud because that wreck is rear wheel drive.

Alfa, 'Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili', not the Greek 'alpha'.

I was joking, Alfa Suds had a bad reputation for rusting as soon as it rained on them which it does here every other day

IIRC there was a dispute with the Italian factory that made the bodywork. As a result a lot of produced bodies sat out in the factorylot for a long time. The factory was located naar the seaside. Therefore those carbodies suffered from servere corrosion before they were eventually transported to the Alfa factory for assembly.

Ah. Factory installed rust...

For what it's worth, the current non-mini countryman is almost the same footprint as a Renault kangoo van (in fact it's a bit longer)
