I think you may be, they weren't exactly champions of longevity in humid conditions.

Go to Italy/South of France

Any here have turned into a brown stain on the ground.

You won't find one here, only one for sale in the UK, looks in very good condition but pricey...as said Italy best bet.

thanks lads ,thats a fab looking car Irishcrx if i had that kind of money,i had a white one that i never took care of in the early 90s

colmahon

i remeber someone had on up north last year if only i krpt the infomation

Irishcrx

Yeah she's lovely, proper restoration job by the looks of it.

The problem is, that's the kind of money you'd be looking at for one in very good condition as they are so rare. If you really scouted around France/Italy and were willing to travel you might find one but the majority of them will be rust buckets by now and need serious work to put right..

Good luck with that, the Classic Car subforum may be a better place for this query though, someone may know something.

I'd say South Africa would be your best bet for a good RHD example but that's time and money.

There's the best site I know of for Classics, covers what's available in Europe. It pretty much confirms what I said above.

give a look in the classic alfa forum on sud's and I think it was there that I saw an alfasud for sale in ennis for around 6,995euro.

The odd Alfasud does turn up for sale in Ireland, e.g. there was a 4-door 'Sud on DD recently for c.€2500.

Perhaps joining the Irish Italian/Alfa/Fiat club would be a good starting point..

Blue850

Alfasud in Clare . €9750 though

colmahon

ok thanks for that

It is worth spending any money on an old Alfa unless one has a garage and possibly a heated one at that?!

mossy50

if your willing to travel then AUTO SCOUT 24 is the site to look at
they currently have 43 alfa sud s for sale across europe mostly from private sellers at realistic euro prices not overcharged sterling prices
im hopefully picking up a lancia fulvia from belgium in a few weeks time at a realistic price of 6000 euro for a series 2

I'd have to say probably not if you're planning on keeping it for any length of time.

Please drop back here with how that goes for you. Lovely cars 6K sounds very reasonable.

You should drive her home, I know a guy who bought a series 1 from Switzerland and he drove it home no bother.
Once they are running well they are quite reliable.
