Price: £100.00 - £109.99, Profile: 80 | Alfa Romeo Alfasud 1972 to 1983

It's hard to over-emphasize how different the Alfasud was, both for Alfa and for the world of small cars. Alfa's first small FWD drive car, built with a new engine type, in a new factory, in a new region for the company, was a dynamic gem that rewrote the standard for the market sector. Great to drive, roomy and cheap. It wasn't well-built or properly rust-proofed though, so quite rare now.

Available as a 2-door, 4-door, estate and hatchback, with a selection of flat-4 engines, the range included practical and sporty versions, with several tyre options. Standard fitments are as follows:

1200 Berlina (1972 to 1974) - 145SR13 tyre
