The Series 3 Spider was previewed in North America for the 1982 model year with the introduction of 2.0 liter Bosch electronic fuel injection to replace the SPICA mechanical injection.
The Spider underwent a major styling revamp in 1983, which saw the introduction of black rubber front and rear bumpers. The front bumper incorporated the grille and a small soft rubber spoiler was added to the trunk lid. The change altered the exterior appearance of the car considerably and was not universally praised by enthusiasts. Various other minor mechanical and aesthetic modifications were also made, and the 1600 car (never available in North America) dropped the "Junior" name.
The Quadrifoglio Verde (Green Fourleaf Clover) model was introduced in 1986, with many aesthetic tweaks, including sideskirts, mirrors, new front and rear spoilers, hard rubber trunk mounted spoilers with integral 3rd stoplight and optional removable hardtop. It was otherwise mechanically identical to the standard Spider Veloce model, with a 1962 cc double overhead cam, four-cylinder engine (twin two-barrel carburetors in Europe; North American models retained the Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection introduced for the 1982 model year except that the VVT mechanism was now L-Jet activated) and five-speed manual transmission.[8]
The interiors was revised with a new center console, lower dash panels (to meet U.S. regulations) and a single monopod gauge cluster (with electronic gauges). For the North American market a model dubbed the Graduate was added in tribute to the car's famous appearance in the 1967 film, The Graduate, starring Dustin Hoffman.
The Graduate was intended as a less expensive "entry-level" Alfa. While it had the same engine and transmission as the Quadrifoglio and Spider, it lacked the alloy wheels and luxury features of the other two models. The Graduate model had manual windows, basic vinyl seats, a vinyl top, and steel wheels as standard. Air conditioning and a dealer-installed radio were the only options. It first appeared in 1985 in North America and continued until 1990.
Production: 1982 - 1990
Engine: 2.0 L
Transmission: 5-Speed manual
Length: 4,288 mm
Height: 1,240 mm

The Austin 10 was a small car made by the Austin Motor Company. It was launched in 1932 and was Austin's best selling car in the 1930's and continued in production, with upgrades, until 1947. It fitted in between the "baby" Austin 7 which had been introduced in 1922 and the Austin 12 hp which had been updated in 1931.
The design of the car was conservative with a pressed steel body built on a cross braced chassis. The chassis was bought in and was designed to give a low overall height to the car by dipping down by 2.75 inches (70 mm) between the axles. The 1125 cc four cylinder side valve engine producing 21 bhp (16 kW) drove the rear wheels through a four speed gearbox and open drive shaft to a live rear axle. Suspension was by half elliptic springs all round and the brakes were cable operated. The electrical system was 6 volt. For the first year only, a four door saloon was made in two versions. The basic model cost £155 and was capable of reaching 55 mph (89 km/h) with an economy of 34 mpg; it was rapidly followed by the Sunshine or De-Luxe with opening roof and leather upholstery at £168.
1933 saw the saloons joined by an open two seater or "Open Road" tourer, a "Colwyn" cabriolet and a van. A sports model, the 65 mph (105 km/h), 30 bhp (22 kW) "Ripley" joined the range in 1934. Mechanical upgrades for 1934 included a stronger chassis, synchromesh on the top two gears and 12 volt electrics.
The first styling change came in late 1934 with a change to the radiator when the plated surround or cowl was replaced by one painted in body colour and it was given a slight slope. Synchromesh was added to second gear and "semaphore" type indicators were standardised. The saloon was given the name "Lichfield" and got a protruding boot which enclosed the spare wheel.
A new body style was added in 1936 with the six light (three windows down each side, with one behind the rear door) "Sherbourne" but the big change came in 1937 with the almost streamlined "Cambridge" saloon and "Conway" cabriolet.. Other changes included Girling rod brakes, 16 inch steel disc wheels replaced the 19 inch wires and more room for passengers by moving the engine forwards by 4 inches (100 mm). Top speed rose to 60 mph (97 km/h). These changes did not appear on the open cars, which no longer included the Ripley sports, until 1938 when all cars also gained an aluminium cylinder head on the engine.
A virtually new car was lauched in 1939 with the body shell incorporating the floor to give a semi-unitary structure. The car was completely restyled by Argentine born Ricardo "Dick" Burzi who had joinjed Austin from Lancia in 1929. The bonnet was hinged at the rear replacing the side opening type on the old car and the radiator grille became rounded and there was no cabriolet. In spite of the outbreak of World War 2, production of the Austin 10 continued in large numbers but there were no tourers but their was a pick-up. In all during the war 53,000 of the saloons, pick-ups and vans, the last two unofficially known as "Tillies", were made.
With peace in 1945 a change was immediately made to civilian production but with the post-war financial crisis they were nearly all exported with the first one arriving in the United States in July 1945. The car continued in production in saloon form only until October 1947 to be replaced by the A40. The van also re-appeared post-war with a slightly larger 1237 cc engine.
