Alfa Romeo Alfasud Super 1979


Specifications


Description

Just as Alfa Romeo led the automotive field of many firsts, the launch of the Alfasud in November 1971 at the Turin Motor Show and subsequent commencment of sales in 1972 heralded a first for Alfa Romeo.

With its front wheel drive and flat four motor, the introduction of the Alfasud was one of the biggest design and philosophy changes to occur in Alfa Romeo's history.

The Alfasud received glowing reports and reviews about its styling, superb handling and good performance.The Alfasud and its design was a brilliant concept way ahead of its time and from my own personal experience, an agile and brilliant handling little car!

The Alfasud had no predecessor, and history has told us that it hasn't had a real successor, either. It took Europe by storm in 1972, remained an enthusiasts' favorite for years, and thanks to careful mechanical evolution on top of an ahead-of-its-time concept, stayed alive through 1989.

A cynic may argue that these cars were not perfect. This is because these cars had a heart and aren't we all just machines if we had no heart?

Don't linger if you're after one of these rare iconic cars of the 70's, as its not often that such opportunities present themselves.

Will be sold WOF'd and Registered if sold in New Zealand.
