My dad has a 77 alfa spyder. My mom bought it for him for his 50th birthday - that was 15 years ago and I'll bet he's put 10k km on it at best, though he has been driving it more this summer. I think it's a fun car to drive, though it's not the most comfortable ride, it shifts lousy and it's not even slightly fast. It's been decent for maintenance - I think it's been in the shop a few times over the first few years but not much lately. I know it had an electrical issue that kept draining the battery, and there was a fuel injection issue a couple years ago. But it was also bought as a partially restored car, for $10k (and that was in 95).
