It's not the critic who counts,The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena who strives valiantly, who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat

wow, that's an amazing sud, with that low mileage silver is a great bodycolour for the Alfasud, mine used to be silver originally, but a previous owner liked black better  |

do you have any plans to upgrade or modify the sud?
i've owned 6 alfasuds, 5 of them were projects i've sold on without completing.
now i have an '83 sud Ti QV with a lot of modifications ;D
hoping to finish this project this summer

cloverleaf wheels etc, whatever i do I'm keeping to the standard alfasud look.

That low mileage sud looks like a good catch nomad. Hope you make a start on her soon.  Boxerman, your's is looking very smart indeed, look forward to seeing more of that I need to build up some enthusiasm to get on with my 33, so you guys may help. |

Thanks sav, I'm in scot next sunday/monday furniture run, i was once very close to buying a 1.7 16v 33 in black low mileage, wife and kids money etc ! ended up with a peugeot 305 diesel estate !!!
and missed the sud green cloverleaf i sold for pennies.
boxerman thats the look I'm after, the first series1 1.2 and last 1.5ti & cloverleaf suds are best, i have owened all the gti pugs and golfs none are as good as a sud (when working)
MK1 Scirocco storm come very close.

i used to race one of these on the oval a few years back, man talk about under steer,full lock and it still tried to go straight. but on the plus side it was rapid on the straights but not much good when you lost all those places on the bend. nice fun car though.

Must be just on the oval that cos on the road the handling is amazing? Matt |
