2006 marks the 35th anniversary of the launch of the Alfasud in 1971, and the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Alfasud Sprint. This means that this years feature marque at Spettacolo in November definitely has to be the 900 series.
Attention all 900 series owners - lets put on a great display of Suds, Sprints, and 33s at this year's Spettacolo!!!
cheers,
Evan.

You guys are unbelievable - I'd support this if you can source a "real" 33 ie. a flat 12 70's sports racer!!
Gee Scott, I thought you would support it because you have existing satisfied customers that race 900's with your cages in them and other 900 drivers out there preparing funds for cages in their cars, thus are potential additional customers for you :P
If i was to get my back up, i would comment that we have recognised the anniversary of most other Alfa series so why not the 35th and 30th Australian anniversaries of the Sud and SudSprints? Last time i checked, they had an Alfa badge on the front grill >:(
but of course i wouldnt get my back up cos i love all Alfas and will do anything to encourage all Alfa lovers/ drivers/ owners out of the woodwork. ;)
Scott stop wasting time baiting Edward and build yourself a nice Sud racecar! You know you want to :-)

Hey guys in what year will we feature the ARNA at Spettacolo, Just got to love that Nissan pulsar shape with a Alfa grill! Anyone who bought one of these realy is a second class Alfa owner, or is that a first class Nissan owner?
Thank gawd they never brought those out here. I've actually only seen one in real life, although it really is just a pulsar with a different grille from the outside. I think outside of Europe they sold them as the "Nissan Cherry Europa"...
Out of interest though I think someone in the UK did one of these up a few years ago as a race car and WON the AROC-UK championship... weird.

It is just tooooo easy!
As for the Sud racer - I just don't know what to say.....OK I'll do it
All I need to do is find a nice straight car with no rust........
I love it!
Well you already have the roll-cage pattern for a SUDSPRINT so buy Tony Mawdsleys completely rust free, roadworthy prepared red sprint for $1500.00 - $1800.00. I has already had $4500 spent on it in readiness for registration but that never happened.
You can see some "before" shots of it in the copmeptiotrs gallery on the www.trofeoalfasud.com site.
Even Mr. Crea owns a 900 now and Jim N keeps talking about doing one up some day so it cant be all that bad ;)
Now time for me to search for a TI body kit to fit a SPRINT like in the pic below.. Tough looking car
$4500?? You must be DREAMIN.
Offer him $500.
:P
P.S. Hi tony if you are reading...
$4500 is his expense too date. $1500 will change owners
I feel like a cornered animal.......what have I done!
Now just remember that 4 of the club's committee members now drive Suds - Damien, Andrew (well it's been a while, but it's still a Sud), Ed, and myself. We're planning to hold a special general meeting to discuss renaming the club to "Alfasud Lovers Club of Victoria"!
It all a bit Star Trek - "You will be added to the collective - resistance is futile" You guys are making me scared now....
You love it and deep down you wanna be part of it!!! ;D
Here's Scott's newly developed Dulux Alfasud Sprint...
What sacrilege! However, they have worked out the only way to build a fast 900 is to disguise a REAL car as one......
I'll will happily buy a 900 when you can show me a 900 that can do a <1:50 at the island (still using the boxer engine)......
There - the challenge is out there - who can be the first to make me buy a 900!!!!
(I think I'm safe - te he te he)

The date has been set for this monumental occasion - SUN NOV 19, 2006 @ Como Park, South Yarra (the usual location). Being the 35th anniversary for the SUD and 30th for the SPRINT, with this much advanced notice, we want every SUD, SPRINT and 33 out there in attendance, regardless of condition, appearance. If you have to - tow it!
The sub-committee will do a ring around, email broadcast and magazine ads to alert everyone to this event.
sounds like a great day. My new 33 will be on the road by then so it will be there is all it's glory.
I was sweating on the date as I am working the following weekend at Sexpo.
I am planning to have my Alfa electric car finished by then so that will be on display as well.
see you there.

I think it's good that this year's show is on the 900 series. It gives me a chance to show off my recently acquired 92 33 16V. See you at the Spetaccolo!!!
All my photos are too large, but it looks the same as this.

When do I get my new Sud?
