I had a Alfa 1600cc Guilietta Sprint Green Cloverleaf-but that was in about 1972! From memory it was quite reliable, but then again it was an old nail-wish I had it now mind!
Drove down to Italy with some friends in a 1750 saloon in 1973-not a moments problem until the water pump seized about 20 miles from Calais on the way home. Slept in the car overnight and fixed it in the morning when the garage opened-those were the days when you could take a spanner to a car and fix most things.
