James, suggest you add a distributor cap to your shopping list. There were different ones, Bosch, Marelli, Ducellier Someone will be able to recognise yours? I have a dizzy cap you are more than welcome to have. My car is a Bosch distributor and this cap doesn’t fit, so I presume it’s either a Mare...

My 19 year old son loves it as do some of his pals.

A good mate has a Fiat X1/9 and his similarly aged daughter loves it too. There is hope!!

Just want to tell a wee tale from the other night which made me smile. Took the Sprint out for a quick whirl as I do as I think cars should move not sit stationary. Anyway, stupid arse here mis-judged it and ran out of fuel but thankfully only a short walk from the nearest petrol station.....🤦‍♂️ Wa...

Wonder if we have any car audio experts on here that can help with a little query. I have a VDO CD571X head unit that I have pressed in to use in the Sprint. Slightly unusual perhaps, but a bit of digging shows them to be a big OEM supplier and to be fair it sounds pretty decent. This unit dates - I...

I agree Kev

However I actually think this site is simply a bit of an undiscovered gem.

Old Alfa seem to be on a bit of an upward trajectory. This site seems to tick along in the background without the recognition it deserves

I concur. This site is my go to for help and advice and is an asolutely invaluable resource. Keep up the good work folks and thank you for everything. Hopefully now I can also give something back seeing as I am -snagging apart - out the other side and on the road.

Sorry just spotted this. Is it still available?

All the very best everybody, here’s to a better 2022.
Hopefully I can start contributing something here rather than continually asking.......

Pair inlet manifold in good condition, 40mm inlet so from 1.7 head. Can only find one plastic spacer and will have a look for the other, but cannot guarantee it still exists.. Located central Scotland, price advertised inc postage within UK but open to reasonable offers as no real benchmark as to th...

I have been looking for a Sipea 0444 for ages. Do you still have one?

Does anybody know what the code after the 0444 means? I have seen 6J, 6F and 7L.

Either that or a schematic of an 0444 would be a help in the quest to find an equivalent.......

Bit of a thread resurrection. Is John still on the go? Need a rear interior rear window trim in grey amongst other little bits and pieces

Just giving this a bump. Must be of use to somebody???

I bought this as a spare in the event mine did not work post-restoration, but is not required. In good condition and worked when I connected to my car. I think this one may be from a 1.5 as is slightly different to my 1.7 panel. I have however robbed it of some bulb holders (as you will see from pic...

Why have I only noticed this now? Is this the same guy that had them up at £80-odd a few months back? If struggling for numbers I will throw my hat in the ring on this too..

Short and sweet - anybody have a twin carb choke cable knocking around they could sell me ?

Do you have a twin carb choke cable in your aladdins cave??

I have a set of seatbelts and buckles - Britax - which look as though they came from a Sud or Sprint. In good condition with any marks purely age related. Also 2 Sprint door armrests in good condition, grey colour so probably from a later model. In both instances I have no idea as to their worth so ...

ALas he's not and neither am I. THe MOT history checks out just fine however, and the pics look good so am maybe just being paranoid. Just being a private sale one can't be too careful.

HI folks Hope you don't mind, especially given it is a non-alfa related matter. My dad has just verbally committed to a car in Blackpool with the proviso it checks out ok. I am in Glasgow so its not easy to get down to check it out. Would someone be kind enough to give the car a cursory once over fo...

I tried to contact Just SUds but both numbers seem unobtainable and the website was timing out. Are they still trading and do you have their contact number. Oh - and found them. Squirrelled away somewhere so safe I forgot where it was!! However other bits may be required so JustSuds number would be ...

In the true spirit of a prize arse, I would appear to have mislaid some bits and can't find these for love nor money. Does anybody have spare the check strap, spring and bar for the bonnet? Also need the rubber 'flaps' that cover the hole through the inner wing the steering arms go through, plus the...

Ok - a wee survey. Which to put on the Sprint. Both are 15" will be running 195/50 tyres.

Teledials
or
5 spokes?

Even at a fiver each then that is at least something back. I will keep using them until the car is painted then I will stick the proper wheels on that I am going to use. pic below I also have a set of 15" 5 spoke Wolfrace that I changed my mind about to flog too (came off a Grande Punto, so 4 x...

Anybody after some? I know they are not worth much, but if I can recoup some of what my naivety cost me I will be happy. Tyres are on them, but certainly not roadworthy. Probably ideal for someone making a showcar. Cosmetically not brilliant (one comical) but no damage and no buckles. I saw someone ...

In an act of prize lunacy, I have managed to melt the rear wing vents for the Sprint (don't ask how......). Does anyone have a couple they could part with, and perhaps also a bumper bracket guide? I feel like a prize prick.........

I share your pain..........

Try John at JustSuds perhaps

Last two pics

Have a couple of Sprint doors up for grabs if anyone is interested. They are not brilliant, but salvageable by anyone with more talent than me

Passenger side has a rust patch on the window frame (pictured) , while drivers side door bottom is intact but detached also pictured.

Pics attached

Yes agreed, this should be very interesting :) A lot of these programs are a joke to be honest aren't they, those of us who do this type of work all know how many hours it takes on the bodywork on these cars given the construction methods and the lack of panels etc. Like its already been said all p...

have you had a look on Bertelsbeck or on Alfa-Service? Postage may still be prohibitive though.........

Good luck
