Alfasud Sprint Red - Concours Condition

[Marlow Sud]

Hi Guys,

There is a classic car dealer on the industrial estate where I work in Thame Oxfordshire. He has a concours condition Sprint that is not advertised yet. I think it is 1983? He drove it past my office window otherwise I would be none the wiser. Never spoken to him before but he is a nice guy. He says I can have it for £11,000. The same price as the one in New Zealand but it is in the UK. He says that if he advertises it the price will be quite a bit higher than this.

I will post details shortly. Anyone interested can contact the seller direct.

Good luck.

Brgds,
Simon

Hi Guys,

Hot off the press at 16.42 tonight. I think this car will make someone very happy. Pictures here:

Anybody recognise how the rear brake conversion was done? Is it 156 / 147 discs and calipers ? Stub axel ?
Looks really nice.

Keith,

P4s had rear disc axles together with those red painted single pot cast iron sliding calipers.

I have one that may get fitted to my Sud one day although it has aluminium bodied calipers similar to those fitted to Mk4 Golfs which are a fair bit lighter.

Thanks,

Adam

Thanks Adam, it looks a smart set up.
Nice.

The Alfa 155 etc has almost identical rear calipers to the p4 aswell.

I have a set of 155 and the VW calipers, and the only difference (regardless of ATE or Girling branding) was the position of the handbrake mechanism.

Quite easily adaptable to a sud rear disc axle too.

What about a 33 axle ?

What about leaving it standard?

Hi guys

This is one of my restorations that I sold back in November to Attington Classics. The car is pretty much concourse and ready to use. I 've no affiliation to the dealer i sold it to but I will say that this car is the perfect buy for anyone looking for one of the best Sprint Cloverleafs in the country. I put more than 10 grand into this car, not counting my labour and ever single part has either been restored or replaced. I built it with the intention of keeping it long term and passing it onto my son but he decided that driving about in a 25 + year old car wasn't "cool" so in a moment of madness I put it up for sale.

The rear brake conversion is a mix of alfa 33 and 145 parts with some custom made brackets fabricated from 8mm thick plate steel cut on a CNC milling machine.

It would be nice to know the car's going to a good home to be appreciated and looked after by a likeminded enthusiast.

Beautiful job GTcoop.
You should be very proud. I have no doubt that the new owner will cherish this car.
Thanks for sharing with us that it was your car.
All the best,
Simon

Hi Gtcoop,
Thanks for sharing with us, any chance you could do a thread of the build?
The brake conversion could be helpful. What do you have at the moment?
Cheers
Keith.
