Description
We are pleased to offer this excellent example of an Alfasud 1. 5 Ti Green Cloverleaf finished in the classic and desirable Alfa Rosso, formerly part of the Black and White Garage Collection. The car comes with a huge and comprehensive history file.
We have just carried out a full cam belt service and the Sud will be sold with a fresh MOT.
The car was manufactured on 25th March 1983 and sold new by Black and White Garage on 26th May 1983 to Mr Mick Baker a friend of the garage who lived just a mile away. Incredibly on 28th September 2011 Mr Baker, now aged 93, was reunited with the Alfasud when Black and White Garage bought it back for their own collection and invited Mr Baker to come and see his car!
Mr Baker apparently never retained his cars very long and in September 1984 Black and White Garage took it in part exchange for another Alfa Romeo.
A couple of weeks later they sold it to Mr Keith Yeo of Beenham, Berkshire.
In July 1986 Mr Yeo sold the car to Mr Nicholas Constantini of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
In December 1987 Mr Constantini sold the Sud to Mr Christopher Pearson of Haywards Heath, West Sussex.
In April 1991 VJM 5Y changed hands again to Mr Richard Anderson of East Grinstead, West Sussex.
In November 1992 the car was sold to Mr Mathew Adams of East Grinstead.
In July 1993 the Sud was purchased by Mr Richard Norton-Harman of Oxted, Surrey.
In March 1994 Mr Aldo Simeone and Miss Marie-Ann Huseyin from East Dulwich, London purchased the car, sadly in August 1995 the cambelts snapped resulting in a rather expensive engine rebuild!
In September 1995 the Sud changed hands again to an unknown purchaser of Wood Green, London.
In November 1995 the car was purchased by Mr Peter Garforth of Dane End, Hertfordshire.
In July 1996 and the Sud having covered 112, 000 miles it was sold to Mr Jonathan Shove on the Isle of Wight.
It remained on the Isle of Wight being purchased by Mr Loris Valvona of Ryde.
In June 2001 the car returned to the mainland being purchased by Mr Russell Richards of Parkgate, Southampton.
Mr Richards retained the car for the longest of anyone to date, selling it in October 2007 to Mr Kevin Plowman of Boston, Lincolnshire.
Mr Plowman contacted Black and White Garage soon after purchasing the car to see if they could confirm its history. Although the bodywork was now in a very poor state, the Sud was still wearing its original Black and White Garage number plates (as it does today!).
Mr Plowman commenced a thorough body and mechanical restoration in February 200 (full photographic record accompanies the car), with it being completed in July 2009, the night before the Alfa Romeo Owners Club National Day at Newby Hall, near Ripon, North Yorkshire.
In July 2011 Mr Plowman exhibited VJM 5Y at the Alfa Romeo Owners Club Spring Alfa Day at Basildon Park, near Reading, Berkshire, where Mr Plowman was presented with awards for the Best Alfasud and Best Restoration.
In September 2011 was purchased by Black and White Garage for their private collection, where it remained until they decided to sell it due to storage restrictions.
In March 2015 it was purchased by Mr Andy Blight of Biddenham, Bedfordshire, where it has remained in his current ownership.
This car is ready to be used and enjoyed, please contact us to arrange a viewing.
