1982 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint Veloce 1.5 Trofeo Edition: number 154 of 200 - POV TEST DRIVE

[@pt020]

My Father had the 1.2 4 doors 1974, I will never forget the sound of it..

[@howardlake6178]

I've just watched it twice, to celebrate an amazing find on my Sud. Under one of the door rubbers looked very rusty 😳 it literally polished out with Autoglym Super Resin. 5 minutes 😂 now it's getting every treatment it can have to protect it. Forever. Anyone who hasn't driven a Sud, put it on your bucket list 😃

My dad had the sprint veloce 1.5 back in the day. Went like hell superb car glued to the road but never started in the wet

[@dough740]

I had one of these (in dark blue). Used to get faster every day, as something else fell off it, but sounded amazing - accelerating in parts of Glasgow where there were tenements to rebound the sound was awesome. The party trick used to be to edge forward at traffic lights beside an XR3 or Golf GTi (to get them interested), then when the lights changed, you let them go, but once in 3rd, you could take them... ease off to let them catch up, then take them again....... That 3rd gear was stunning!

Thanks for this POV, just found one 1.5 here on my town for restore. Ohhh my its feels like a dream :D

[@RetroClassicCar]

そんな事いいよね😊　だってこの水平対向エンジンとシャープなハンドリングとクリーンなジウジアーロ・デザインなのだから😊 日本🏯より

[@alulatadesse1646]

The sound of a boxer is unmistakable.

[@howardlake6178]

Sheer bliss....

[@tolgaetci9539]

Subaru and alfa were only boxer 4 cyl front engine cars at that time...very unique engineering

[@dWsjapan]

ランチアも？かな？ 日本🏯のスバルメカニックより🎉

[@jncg2311]

Lovely drive. I assume from the sound that the original airbox had been replaced with open filters? A lot more induction noise than normal in this recording.

[@ilmaio]

Naw. It sounded just like that..,

[@bugatti103]

had a 1.3 Sud TI super engine....

[@liamsollars250]

Is this one still for sale? It's my dream car, my dad had one when I was a boy and always promised we would get it back on the road together. But then due to money he had to sell it on :( one day maybe :(

[@RetroClassicCar]

Liam Sollars Yes still for sale! Took it off the market for 3 months and used it ourselves - Seriously what a fantastic little car, so much fun! If you fancy it I’m sure we could sort something out and get your back into one of these Alfa’s again! Just give us a call. Cheers Sam

[@funkmust]

my father also had one ... had to sell it because my mom was pregnant and could not get in the car easily ... it was 1981, great memories of that car........

[@RetroClassicCar]

Cubicle5 SOLD - Add another £11,500 onto your offer and you might have got close 😉

[@peterjennings8258]

What did it sell for? I'm only curious as I own a 1983 sprint green cloverleaf which I currently insure for a value of 15k, and wondered if that's the right ball park these days.

[@mihakrajnc6210]

Hi. Is the steering wheel original? If not, do you know the model of it maybe? Cheers, Miha

[@paulofreitas3428]

Miha Krajnc not original! Nardi steering wheel

[@oliveroneill1388]

Provide

[@klauskarnath8233]

They were more build than 200...

[@RetroClassicCar]

Klaus Karnath I’m guessing the original Alfa paperwork was lying then eh 😂

[@klauskarnath8233]

I have about 200 in my List since 1992...

[@jncg2311]

@@klauskarnath8233 Only 200 Trofeo build for the UK market, there were a number built for other European markets, all of those would be LHD.
