1987 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint / Sprint Veloce 1.5 boxer

Summary:

A small red Italian sports car!

Faults:

I've had quite a lot of trouble with the electrical systems. For example when I turn on the fan for the climate control, the interval on the wiper won't work.

The starter engine doesn't "grab" the flywheel, but I just went to the scrap-heap and bought a new one!

General Comments:

The car is so lovely on the road!

And it is fast with its small engine!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Go along with this review - terrific fun to drive, great looking, fantastic character, but can be expensive when things go wrong - as seems to happen more often than with your average Japanese boredom box.

I've got an '85 Sprint QV, very good condition, with still only 150,000 km on the clock...
