Nearly finished my project now. All mechanical work is done - had respray two months ago- she's mot's and taxed - £90 fully comp a year. Just had it tuned up too - waiting for a 1.7 8v to be dropped in very soon too! Going to some Alfa and Italian shows - but would like to get to some retro car meets and shows. Would love to have done the London one that was in this months Modified Retro Mag.     |

That is fantastic! My first Alfa was a 1.3Ti series 3 sud. The car I wished I never sold.
Should be a little beast with the 1.7

I like Suds anyway but that is a bit special. Get yourself along to www.alfaowner.com and tell 'em Keithyboy sent you. There is a section for Suds and Sprints on there too. Did you buy it with the kit on? |

There's an early Sud for sale in Ipswich.
Needs work, but It's not too bad.
No price, just a phone number in the back window

I am on the Alfa Forum too - I love most retro and classic cars that's why I'm in here as well. My user name is Rat Trap.
Yes the kit was on the car when I bought it. It is a 1 of 30 specials as I am aware of that was built in 1984. The kit was fitted by Alfa Romeo and the whole car was properly waxoiled and preserved. When I bought it it was a wreck mechanically but there was no welding ever done on the car. I was the first to weld the cracks on front struts because the car is so stiffened not due to rot.
The kit was a £1600 extra on top of the dealer price as far as I can assertain. £1600 was alot of money in 1984 especially when the car was £5k car!
I am so pleased with this car - only trouble is now - I need a new project but wifey will not let me. I have absolutely no plans to sell this sud. I will garage her over winter and put the 1.7 boxer in in good time. I just found my original thread just now and added to it. You can see the cars previous pictures there.

I like the Sud a great deal, got a mate who's got 2 (one much less crashed than the other) and has had at least one other in the past, great little cars!
And practical too, who'd've thought you could get a boat in the roof.........
