For sale by private individual on a consignment basis, trade-in negotiable. In 1980, Alfa Romeo commissioned Italian fashion designer Valentino Garavani to design an action model based on the Sud. He chose a rare shade of metallic bronze combined with a black roof, gold wheels and Valentino gold side stripes. The interior is black velvet with gold piping, a wooden steering wheel and brown carpet. The exterior is very handsome and the metallic paintwork is very bright. For aesthetic reasons, the Sud has been professionally repainted in the past. Of course, the Valention strip was also reapplied at the time. There are virtually no traces of use. The owner uses the Alfa regularly, which is obviously pleasant. However, during some heavy traffic, there was some minor damage to the front recently, which has been very well repaired. All indications are that the car has been well looked after. The interior is completely original and in a remarkably clean condition. The seats still have their original upholstery. The dashboard is fully complete and the instruments all work as they should. It's a real time capsule. Inside, this Alfasud is 100% original, which is unique. The few remaining Suds are often simple 1. 2 versions and such a beautiful Valentino 1. 5 is almost impossible to find. The reliable boxer engine starts immediately, hot or cold, and sounds great. A boxer engine has many advantages: no vibrations, low centre of gravity and no critical revs. On the motorway, the engine is remarkably quiet thanks to the double partitioning of the engine compartment. The Alfasud was the best-steered front-wheel-drive car of its day, and it's still a lot of fun to drive: tight steering, powerful brakes and a lovely shrill sound. You're driving a modern classic that you can use every day. The Sud was designed by Rudolf Hruska and his team, who created a brilliant compact car on time and on budget. All the motoring journalists praised the Sud for its many positive features. It could have been a huge success around two years before the Volkswagen Golf arrived on the market, which could also have rusted badly..... Due to the inexperience of the workers on the assembly line, the numerous strikes and the poor quality of the steel, the first few years were a tragedy. Fortunately, since 1980, better steel has been used, even partially galvanised. As mentioned, the beautiful South has been very well maintained. In 2022, only 3, 900 km ago, the timing belt was replaced, including the tensioners and water pump. Also in 2022, the front callipers were overhauled. A major service was then carried out, including a new silencer (original!). In addition, the gearbox bearings and retaining ring were replaced, among other things. The engine and gearbox are now leak-free. The master cylinder and torque arm bushes are also new.
