Re: 14 inch Revolutions, 33, sud, sprint

And again, you never know someone might want the last set of Revo’s………I’m pretty sure Santa won’t have any in his grotto.

Re: SPRINT RESURRECTION

Well, every day is a school day, I didnt know the b post panel was body colour on early cars !

For contrast, not the best side by sides

Have you decided on a colour yet AOG ? It looks nice sat on the jig in bare metal !

If it were mine I’d go with a metallic colour, however it’s yours so my opinion doesn’t count. :D

Re: Alfasud Trofeo Sump

I wouldn’t bother, unless you are going on a circuit or plan to take every road corner 100% on the limit the std sump is more than good enough. It’s not the state of tune that the sump is baffled for, it’s the oil surge on on heavy circuit/race cornering. For example I still had a baffled sump on my...

Re: SPRINT RESURRECTION

I wouldn’t fit a rear wiper, not for purist reasons but I prefer the clean and unfussy lines of the earlier chrome bumper models.

I’d weld the holes up and find some early b pillar covers, they just look nicer I think.

But it is your car :D

Diff 101473 6M

I found a diff and loads of gear cogs, some have got water contamination but the diff looks ok and would clean.

Can anyone identify the type from the code stamped/cast on it in the title ? Or is that just the casing part number

I thinks it’s a 1200ti but not sure

Thanks

Alfa 75 3 litre V6 Veloce and lots of spares - £5000

It’s time to sell this so for what is now a rare and 100% complete car, and what must be at least £1500 worth spares, then as a complete package I’d like £5000. Feel free to share on other forums like FB etc unless you think I’m smoking. I’ve owned this since 1995 (that’s right 29 years, 3rd owner) ...

Re: SPRINT RESURRECTION

I’d go for ARS231 verde faito metallic, it’s a lovely colour. Sprints also look nice in silver I think.

But it’s your choice, not mine, good luck with the work :D

I still have everything listed above except the cill, plus I have a good rust free but used slam panel. The one that runs across the inner wings above lights and grill.

I think Roger has ‘retired’ from Peak Alfa but may still be building race and special stuff for himself and I’d heard the odd racer customer. He’s raced a 8c engined Giulietta in the Alfa championship , last year, maybe try reaching out to someone on the committee or the f8ckedupbook page……….apologi...

Re: Rally Sprint

Well, hopefully a bit of inspiration to complete it and that it will be well worth waiting for, here’s mine in action last year. The Capri is a 2.8i and at least 250bhp, heavier than my sprint but once I got past him I pulled away.

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