In 9 years my beautiful Sud has had 2 new handbrakes (I believe Suds usually come with bricks and buckets - I have not needed the bucket) the usual tyres, oil filters but little else.
Only now is the passenger seat slightly wearing, the driver's seat has a fitted sheepskin cover.
It has no faults.
This wonderful car has not a spot of rust anywhere.
After being garaged for two years while I was overseas it started again at first turn of the ignition.
Strong handling.
Needs sensitive handling changing down, its complaint otherwise is audible.
Hi fellow Alfasud owner. I have an '82 as well and would love to have another, You're going overseas and selling your SUD? Please contact me at orvestco@yahoo.com THANKS!
