Re: SPRINT RESURRECTION

To my knowledge, the extent of the repairs being carried out to your 82 Sprint is almost unprecedented for an Alfasud. The only other project I have seen that was as comprehensive and complicated as yours was this 1977 series 1 Ti that my friend Darek at MCG Classic Cars in Hanslope, Bucks undertook...
