I pulled this out of a nice dry barn in Derbyshire where it had laid for 15 years under a cover, well it drove out with a new battery and fresh fuel and the brakes freeing off..It had been put away after having a lot of welding done! come on its an Alfasud, anyway its solid so that's all that matters, what it did need was a repaint, it had been done before being put away but was a shocking yard brush job...
Bit (bloody lots) of rubbing down and this is the result...
It goes like a little barsteward, easily matches new traffic, gets lots of thumbs up from those who know, fill up with petrol and someone always comments on that they haven't seen one since they where kids.. its one of 5 left, and even rarer than that, it has electric windows, and they work!
Weren't the 80`s great..

Love it, had a sud in the 80s, went like stink and just got quicker and quicker with its self lightening program, as thing rusted they fell off, loved the car until it went to the breakers.....

What a great looking car.
Very clean. Is the silver grill original? Thought they all were black.
Cheers
