Classic Alfa Forums

Does anyone know what Alfasud new list prices were in July 1977.

at that time,I came home after working abroad on a Construction project with several grand burning a hole in my pocket!

My parents lived in Horsforth,Leeds, and I remember a small garage selling new and used Alfasuds on Hawksworth Road.

I had a look at a couple ,but sadly never bought one.

I ended up buying a new Spitfire 1500, and clearly remember paying £2300 for it.
Awful car,poor engine,4 speed gearbox failed after a few months,dodgy handling.....but my then girlfriend liked the look of the car in Brooklands green with tan houndstooth seats.
An X1/9 1300 had been high on my list also, but they wouldn't insure me as it was group 6 out of the old 7 groups!
I always regret not buying a new or nearly new Sud.
Can't remember clearly, but perhaps I couldn't get insured on a ti. Or maybe they were a lot more than the Spitfire.
but an SC would have been nice.....Hey Ho

Anyone old enough on this forum to know the answer......don't be shy!

Here is a start Dave,

Sorry it is on it's side

Simon

Simon, by around 1985 my '77 "R reg" 5M cost me £275.

That's dedication, painting the garage door to match. Love it!

That was a bit of a steal Keith.

In 1981 my blue 1.2ti cost me £850 I think. The metal was quietly fizzing though.

Simon

£450 for the green one, 1986
£350 for the white one , 1987
£460 for the red one, 1989

jobeed, the door is now green and my Dad still lives there.

Simon, it didn't look like that when I bought it. That was after new wings, arches and a respray. It later got ti spoilers.

Tim, nice collection. Were the wheels all the same set or just coincidence ? I had a similar looking set of 100+ on my S1 Alfa 33.

I would never have remembered the wheels Keith if you hadn't named them.

The green and rust coloured series 2 wheels where 100+, however the wheels on the white series 1, then transferred to the red S3 were momo. They looked almost identical.
