Thanks all. I've heard both good and bad about Gaz, Spax, Avo, etc that I really just think; go down a certain route and make my own mind up!
Did have a chat with Leda and they might be able to help and suggested the Konis rebuilt so, if you have some Looloo that would be great.
Cheers, Ted

Hi All, my Sprint Veloce really could do with a set of shocks front and rear and I am struggling to find anyone with anything for sale or any suitable alternatives. Can anyone on here please shove me in the right direction please? I have been told that if I can find a set of early (rebuild able) Kon...

We've all heard that old chestnut 'Drive it like you've stolen it' haven't we? Does that include Trofeo Alfasuds as well.........? Taken from this month's Motor Sport magazine.
Ted

Just thought I'd bump this one up the list as I've added some better photos......
Cheers,
Ted

Possibly me as I might have to come up at some point with the Formula Ford. I'll confirm in a day or so.

Tatra Simon? Looks like a late one.........
Ted

Just read down and Shrew beat me to it!!!! Damn.

I'm going Lauren to Brooklands but, as you say, not to walk among rows of 156's and 159's - just not interested. Hopefully there will be some interesting Lancias, Fiats, Abarths - the kind of stuff that gets totally overlooked!

No doubt there will be blokes there with Lambos making a racket......!

Don't put him on a pedestal Simon, you're every bit as good, if not better.

All, I thought I would update this. My 75 is going in for a big service and MOT with Jamie Porter on Wednesday so that it can be ready for a new owner. I've spent the past couple of weeks using this car and it really is a good one and drives really nicely with taut suspension and a great engine and ...

Good call Ted.

My Dad used to have one. Great little cars!

2nd Photo - Ford St Focus or possibly a Noble - bit different but both have central pipes?
3rd photo - Fiat 850 Sport.

Great discussion guys - watched programme on Saturday and pretty much agree with what's been said here already. The thing that struck me watching and also people comments on here is how much I, and kids at my school, noticed these things when we were growing up - if one of us saw a Lightning, a Harr...

Ah, but not just any old Alfasud though!

Best wishes for a great Christmas and New Year to all on the forum and in our little Alfa world!

Hi all,
Yes, my Sud runs on 7''X 15'' wheels with Toyo 888's (205/50/15) I looked a lot younger in 2015!

Kev and Dave, When you used this on bumpers/ external trim did you have to prime the parts first or just clean and then apply the paint?

The waist level trim and rear bumper black trim on my 75 TS SE has faded badly and thought I'd give this a try...

Cheers,

Ted

There is a cynic in me who thinks that possibly - and I'm not in any way accusing the seller of doing this as I'm sure he is legitimately just trying to sell an old, rusty Alfa - but I wonder if it has occurred to anyone that the V5, chassis plate and engine number will all be shown as a Touring bod...

Hi All, Here's my on-board footage from Sunday's race at Snetterton. For some reason I think the camera is set up wrong as the it seems to over-expose the view outside the car, I'll have to check the settings going forward. Any suggestions or advice gratefully received! https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Thanks John. Key long gone I'm afraid so resort to drill? It's about a 5mm pin isn't it that locks into the column?
Not doing the angle grinder thingy as the car is pretty much mint inside and out apart from the missing key!!
I will need a new barrel anyway so will be in touch.
Cheers,
Ted

Help/Advice please! I have bought a 1981 Sud Sprint Veloce which has one obvious immediate problem - there is no ignition key with the car as it was lost when the car was put into storage about 10 years ago. I have seen a couple of replacement barrels on Ebay, Sud Parts, etc but need to know how eas...

Cracking day at Brands on Sunday. Car ran faultlessly and the weather was perfect so all was good. Qualified 4th in the Italia/Britain Allcomers Race behind two Ferrari355 Challenge cars and a Mini Miglia. Cracking start in race 1 and led first two laps but couldn't keep the Ferraris at bay or the M...

1st lot here goes top to bottom.......
1. Vauxhall Wyvern or some such drudgery....?
2.Fiat Dino 2400
3. Rover?
4. Panhard
5. Marcos Mantis
2nd lot.......not got a clue!!
Cheers,

Hi Guys, Can you help me identify my fuse boxes please? I want to buy the plastic covers for them or buy NOS replacement fuse boxes. Any help much appreciated. Brgds, Simon IMG_4241.JPG Simon, I have a feeling that they're early Ferrari 308GTB or maybe possibly Dino 246/308GT4 fuse boards - they lo...

I'm sure that most of you will have seen this but I'll post it anyway - it's the Festival Italia Day at Brands Hatch this coming Sunday. http://www.festivalitalia.com/ I've entered the Sud in the Italian Car Allcomers Race so I can give it (and me) a bit of a run out. I'll keep everyone posted as to...

With Keith on the first - Renault 25/30.
2nd one - wild guess; Auburn Speedster or some such American.....A Packard?
3rd One - Swallow Doretti
4th one - Jowett (Javelin?)
5th One - Vauxhall Velox or could it be an early Ford Consul?
Cheers
Ted

Was the series 2 car once owned and raced by Frank Manning in the late 80's and early 90's?
Cheers, Ted

Well, well, well, - in a box that should be labelled ' what are these because they are not Sud parts' I have two of these indicator repeaters for the 2000 / 2600 Sprint, brand new, in packets ! Cheers, John. John, I have a feeling they're the same as the side repeaters for step front Bertones as we...

First one is an Alfa 2000/2600 Sprint. I don't think anyone could be definite without seeing the bonnet. 2600 has intake - 2000 doesn't.

2nd car - not a clue. Aero-engined special though.

Cheers, Ted

I can't see that there can be many cars prettier than that. Lovely.
Cheers, Ted

Hi Shrew,
Can you make it this Thursday as I have to be in Sutton On Trent Friday am to pick the Crossle up!!
Cheers,
