SUMMARY

Restored by Ant Anstead and his team for the new TV Show, The Naked Mechanic'

DESCRIPTION

  • Discovered by Ant Anstead, this Alfa Sud was carefully locked away in a garage for 31 years. It’s an incredible find – an authentic car bought new with no aftermarket add-ons and laid untouched, awaiting rediscovery
  • Verified matching paperwork and matching numbers along with a documented historical service history. Ant and the team approached this 'resurrection' with white gloves to retain as much of the car's originality as possible
  • The engine has been gently brought out of its 31-year slumber and fully serviced, including new fuel pump, points, coil and condensers, new filters and fresh fluids. The engine has been dry-iced and the suspension has also been refurbished and brakes reconditioned
  • Unlike so many Alfa Suds, this one has escaped rust as it’s been so carefully stored away from the British weather for its entire life
  • The paint work has been corrected to retain the original paint, with minimal welds only where structurally required
  • The interior has been reconditioned, including the acquisition of original fabric where needed
  • This is really special. For Ant's own words take a look at the Condition Report

Vehicle History

Remarks

“Every car builder waits for that barn find thats been hidden away, untouched for decades. The genuine "One Owner" car with main dealer service history stamped in a book, with annual service records and receipts for all the work telling the true story of this car. Add to the mix that the car happens to be a notoriously rare survivor with the vast majority of that model being condemned to the scrap heap makes it even more compelling. Then combine the manufacturer Alfa Romeo to the mix and you have the the perfect survivor barn find. And its the survivor element that makes this Alfasud so rare. Not over restored, rather re awakened to reveal what has to be one of the most authentic surviving Alfasuds left. And now a usable daily classic which carries street cred that even the legend Ayrton Senna drove one. There won't be another Sud like this.”
