Description
The Sprint used to be a very popular racing car in the late 70s until 1983.
Sprint Trofeo was a well known European GT competition in those years.
Even today, Alfa Sprints are being used as racing cars, mostly in historic cups or hill climbing races. Its popularity mainly due to its good handling capabilities.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- New Zealand new
- Just under 2000 were built in the last year of production out of which only 480 were built in RHD making this Sprint a rare car, especially when considering how many of them rusted away or were abused of.
- A nice example of a much loved 80's classic.
- Nine owners amongst traders - last owner for 8 years
- The driving position is classic Italian – short legs and long arms :)
- Well maintained, this car is in sound mechanical condition - its been loved and cared for and most importantly - it has been driven regularly.
- All the rubbers, trims, external trim etc are good.
- The original interior is nice and tidy - some cracks on dash.
- It also sounds fabulous and goes incredibly well.
- Comes complete with spare wheel, wheel brace and jack.
- Various parts come with car.
The Sprint drives like a hormonal teenager with a personality disorder. The secret to getting the most from it is the tachometer, keeping the car one gear lower than you’d expect to. Keep the revs low and you’ve got a grumpy, sleepy teen that’s disinterested in everything around it.
Get it above 4,000 and you’ve got an ADHD wunderkind with an insatiable lust for life, keen to attack every corner in its path. The car comes alive in such a wonderful way that you can forgive every one of its design and execution faults. The sound from the little boxer is almost cartoonish and totally addictive. The pop and crackle on the overrun is just magical.
Simply put – the Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint is more fun than a sack full of puppies.
Some say there are a million reasons to walk away from an Alfasud Sprint. Our view is that there are two compelling reasons to drive it, though, and that sparkling engine along with its magical handling will keep you coming back again, and again, and again.
You simply cant be a true car enthusiast if you haven't owned an Alfa - period!
Car will be sold WOF’d and Registered if sold in New Zealand.
