1981 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint / Sprint Veloce review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch, handbrake ratchet, rusty brake pipes, headlights, wipers and just about every other electrical device you can think of. It's also rusting on just about every panel...
General comments?
Despite the above list of woes, the car has been very reliable and entertaining to own. Parts availability is becoming tricky and expensive although the Alfa owing community is very supportive. The car is a blast to drive with a rorty engine note and excellent roadholding. Brakes superb (when they work) but fiendishly difficult to maintain. Driving position comical - just try driving one for more than an hour continuously...
