Christmas gifts for the Alfisti

I hope that everyone's having a great Christmas whatever the circumstances. I was sort of wondering if anyone received any presents appropriate to their love of our cars? For my part, my family obviously know me too well. This has to be one of the best presents they've ever bought for me. IMG_202112...

Re: It begins...

So chuffed! The Sprint Speciale made it to it's first show for many years at the weekend in The Italian Car & Motorcycle Day at Newby Hall. Great stuff. Well worth the long wait. I haven't stopped smiling yet. She ran beautifully with good oil pressure and a constant water temperature. The brakes ne...

None of the events causing to the delays could be foreseen or planned for but, as I've said many times before, it's all been worth it. Another one saved an...

2021 Sud Anniversary events

Now, as you know I'm a bit of a Sud anorak. 2021 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Alfasud, it being introduced at the Turin Motor Show in 1971. Such an anniversary should be celebrated I think we'd all agree. So, as some of you may also know, I'm a founding member of Club Alfa UK and we're putting ...

In the meantime, I'm keeping myself happy by drooling over the latest photographs of the near completed restoration. Just the rear spoiler to see to now and th...

Re: It begins...

No problem. The colour is called "Ionian Ivory" and the colour code is AR129 for the main bodywork.
The code for the wheel inners is 'Grigio Vesuvio 035'.
'Grigio Vesuvio 035' is also the code for the B posts on the Trofeo and the Speciale.
Hope this helps!

There are just a few cosmetic upgrades and panel alignment adjustments needed now and I'll be getting her back early in the New Year once the Covid restrictions are eased. The pictures aren't the best and don't really do the restoration any justice at all but she'll be out and about at as many Shows...

Thanks for all your kind messages. Very much appreciated I can tell you.

Thanks Kev. When I started out on this restoration, it was the fulfilment of a lifetime's dream for me. I had no clue that circumstances would transpire against me and that it would take so long to complete to my exacting standards but, do you know what? It's been so, so worth it. I'm due to end up ...

I'm probably going to regret this, but with all the virus restrictions and family illnesses, it looks like we're on the final lap of this marathon restoration. Truly final fitting and fettling now. The tyres have been collected from Yorkshire last week and they're now in Dundee ready to be reunited ...

Alfasuds were never manufactured in Australia s...
