The silver resto sprint on eBay is on the above for £8500

I’m sure the gtv6 would cost at least that to restore and build at Alex jupe but still a bit eye watering.

Went for £1865, if as solid as it looked then cheap I’d say. Make a good racer.

Glad Kev did mine in white tho and not orange, even tho I sold it

Definitely battery, should have known really but the wired attempts to start it were confusing. Tried the extra earth just in case, still slow to turn over Put my little Halfords smart charger on this morning, within 5 hours it said it was charged so took it off and started fine. Can’t enable the st...

I have the stop start permenantly switched off. Short / town journeys and that many restarts can’t be healthy for an engine. I switched it off the day we bought it :D Good shout on the earth test, I forgot to try that . It’s a 13 plate but the battery doesn’t have any Alfa or manufacturers marks, I ...

Agree, the manual isn’t overly clear. Fingers crossed, and tbh the battery has been on as long as we’ve had the car, it’s not original but is at least 6 years old so I’m tempted to replace it anyhow. It does short journeys so probably finished it off based on that and the first frost .

Pretty sure it’s the battery after trying it this morning. Slow turn over. Assume if it’s the earth then it wouldnt turn at all, or would turn but not start ? Dumb question - any issue jump starting with the start stop system, or do I go straight on the battery terminals as normal ? Hate to say it b...

Thanks Lou, I did think battery initially but the random sequence above was confusing.

Hello, anyone here…… :D Strange one this morning, Giulietta wouldn’t start and a bit unusual symptoms. Initially assumed battery had dropped voltage and on its way out on the first cold morning this year but not so sure… 1. Initially when putting key in and turning ignition on, all dash lights as no...

Well, yes based on recent sales :D If this car was as solid as it looked then all it really needed was a repaint, new extinguisher and harnesses to go racing…….plus a good check over obviously It was a production spec car when last raced, so fairly standard engine with probably 10 extra Bhp, maybe 1...

Went for £5400 plus commission.

I think I’d be taking that back to where I bought it from even if it was July when purchased.

That oil will be more than fine, oil is oil……so long as it is high quality in the first place which most top brands are. Think I’ve posted on here before that a mate worked for silkolene and castrol and he was adamant that so long as it was a top brand, hence refined well, Ester based, then other th...

Welcome Gary, what suds do you have, do you still have that white racer ?

Well, my all steel and glass sud racer with a boot weighed in at 825kg on Mallory Parks scales, my sprint with Perspex and aluminium boot floor weighs a very ‘trim’ 775kg on Cadwell parks scales. My race wheels are very light tho and probably help by at least a kg each, 33 rear axle is probably 5kg ...

If I remember rightly your sud has fibreglass bonnet, boot and wings, and Perspex windows ?

If so 800kg is about right.

Thanks Dave, no issue with mine re splines and staying on, the end that the blade connects to has broken off.

Mine hasn’t

Morning all - I need a drivers side wiper arm for my sprint, it’s the push on type not the one with a nut on the end.

Thanks

Hi Bryan, Dave Ashford is looking for a 1200cc crank, he’s on 07710 879526

The red one is a Fiat 128 coupe

Viva is a Magnum, poverty spec viva didn’t have the chrome trim across the back ?

The rear end round lights are Datsun of some form (308 gt4 has rectangle lenses)

Edit, Keith is right, I’m wrong it is a 308 gt4

Finally have an engine fitted, back at Cadwell this bank hol Monday which is where the crank broke just over a year ago. Worked on the car last 2 Saturdays on the drive, 6 interruptions. ; 1. Chap walking his dogs and liked the look of it 2. Chap up the road with a very early mini 3. Chap down the r...

To the top one more time, the cill has gone to a good home but the other panels are still in my loft if anyone needs them. eBay next week if not.

One set sold, but I still have a set of 4 Revo’s as above. £200

Back to the top for the 84mm std sized pistons, rings and rods. pistons/rings are new, rods used £200

The +4’s have been sold.

Suspect this one won’t sell very quickly, but if so then I guess I’ll have to eat my words. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1369726 All feels a bit random, a rusty heap sud number of months ago £4500 if I remember, the black one in a derelict ex car service garage ? The 2 red ones £3k, the silv...

I regretted selling the sud racer shell that Kev did such a great job with, but needs must. To console myself I’ve just bought these two racers to replace it, I’ll need a dose of the incredible shrinking man serum to fit in them. :lol: D43CB5FD-909D-4E38-A153-4C9DCD9C39A3.jpeg Some where in the loft...

No Gary, ‘our’ old sud is actually on the road via Daves efforts (alfadave). This is series 3 racer shell I bought with the aim / dream of building a stripped out road car, but time and storage and a blown engine in my sprint meant I needed to sell it. Kev welded an sprayed it, we made it look like ...
