Title: Alfasud Ti Qv
Post by: herbyj on September 24, 2014, 07:11:14 PM
Hi
I finally bought a car!
After a lot of looking I found a great car down in Tasmania.
It been stored for the last 20 years and has a genuine 73,000 on the clock.
The seller has done everything to get it going again; flushed fluids, new slave cylinder, replaced belts etc etc.
The only minor issues are the driver seat has a small tear but I've got some original trim to repair it. One of the panels has been repaired at some stage but there isn't any rust. The tyres are even original but I think I'll have to replace them.
The car runs very well and is tight.
I'm going to put the car on club plates after Pursang do the RWC.
I can't wait to get it on the open road.
See attached photos.
Jonathan

Best Alfa Romeo i have ever driven, looked after one for about 3 years, enjoyed every moment.
Now are going up in value, not an ideal daily driver, due to people damaging them in carparks, but good on club plates for a weekend drive.
Check for reoccuring rust around the front and back screens.
Get it ready for the car display day in November called Spectacolo at Wesley College, Colin.

Will also add my congrats - car looks great and you will have a lot of fun.

Concur with Col's comments. Would suggest cleaning & fish oiling liberally inside bottom B pillars, rear wheel arches and drainage channels along sills/ doors. In my experience, hatch rust along the bottom of the window is typically a C service item!

Enjoy
Paul
