Exactly how I would describe it, Dave. It's good fun to drive. For a Road car there's a bit still to do but for the track it is good to start the project. I had the rear shocks replaced last year, it has new tyres, a front driveshaft was replaced and I put the green carpet in it. No engine or gearbo...

photos look better than RL but is basically sound and runs well. It was stripped for a track car, sold before completed, rebuilt as a road car by AlfaDave on here, bought by me and subsequently given to my Son. It would have failed MOT in Jan on electrics so I sorned it and it has been sitting ever ...

Might have a sprint that satisfies this requirement. It is actually my lads but he's not using the sprint and it's been on sorn since last spring. It works fine but has an electrical issue with lights and wipers - prob the switch gear on the steering column. He doesn't look like fixing it and I woul...

Good shout with the toll roads . We did them going to Germany through France . But came back through Holland Belgium then frence .No tolls . As my wife booked the wrong port :lol: so look into going that route ;) as for driving an older car .Took the 33 to spa three times .Had no trouble keeping up...

I can tell you about my drive to Tuscany in 2015 if it helps. I took my 1986 Alfetta GTV6. We drove through France into Italy and back again taking our time. My biggest observation is that driving through France the novelty of driving a classic car soon fades. You spend most of the day on the motorw...

Merry Xmas CAF!

Still THE go-to place for suds.

Steve

£5300. I think the buyer did well.

1 hour to go.....

Who is twitching?!?

40 miles for me, Shrew.

Give me a shout if nobody can help

Rgds,
Steve

Speaking as a civilian.......I was dead impressed!

I saw this on fb and thought of you guys and Lauren. Is this a method you use?

That didn't last long!

No replies, Dave. Things can be slow around here......

I saw the car before you began the resto and it was nice even then!

Steve5M

Well as far as that goes I have a transit van and a can do attitude!

Sorry, I'm South Coast.

Steve

I saw your last headlining!

I'm still corpsing every time I think about it.....

This is making me giggle like a loon! Apologies if you've seen it before. I hope the link still works if you don't have Facebook.

Shrew.....and everybody else, The problem I always have is that my photos are too large to upload. I have posted a few photos tonight and prior to doing this I was groaning over the prospect of going into a photo editing program to reduce the size of each of my photos. I decided to google and found ...

Hi gang!

Does anybody have a Sud Sprint S3 windscreen wiper relay they are willing to part with?

Steve

Yes, I'm happy with the arrangement and the guy I spoke to was very helpful.

btw Loving the Sprint Speciale stuff!

Just in case anyone's following this and intending to buy one of these......

They called today. The item listed is no longer available. They have sourced an identical replacement from Denmark for an extra £30. So, £79 plus a £48 refundable 'alternator surcharge'. Lead time is 14 days.

Steve

Kev,

I doubt they are good enough for one of your rebuilds.

Smoke enough?

Steve

That's a fair price as far as I'm concerned.

Back to the sherbets!

Hasta luego, amigo!

Shrew,

That's £48.08 plus £48 alternator surcharge that is returned when you send the old unit to them.

Steve

Alternatively........CAF - Class and Friendly

Cheers, Alfamet!

Now that's why I love this place. Any other forum they'd be bitching and smashing me for not knowing where to look.

CAF - a class act!

Love and kisses,
Steve

Well said, Shrew!

Happy Christmas everybody!

Steve

The alternator on the '87 Sprint 1.5 QV needs replacing. The engine is the 95?bhp one.

Can the sudmeisters advise on new/old replacements?

Cheers!
