The Appeal

The Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint Veloce 1.5 Plus represents one of the most desirable variants of the already sought-after Sprint range. Launched in 1981 as a limited production model, it combined the Sprint's renowned handling characteristics with exclusive aesthetic enhancements and interior appointments.

This 1981 example presents the complete Plus package with its distinctive bronze metallic paintwork, gold detailing on both bodywork and alloy wheels, and the model-specific interior trim that sets it apart from standard production Alfasuds. As the photographs show, it presents very well indeed, making this a rare survivor of the model.
