Presentation / History of the vehicle

This vehicle is again presented for sale with a reserve price revised downwards by its owner and new photos relating to its restoration!
The Alfasud holds an important place in the history of Alfa Romeo. The project was entrusted to Rudolf Hruska in 1967, an Austrian engineer who worked at Alfa in the 50s. The goal for the Italian brand is to produce a popular small car that will come out of the brand new factory in southern Italy, built near Naples.
Designed by the famous Giugiaro, it impresses during its launch with its maneuverability, handling and quite high top speed. But the most striking innovation on this model comes from the choice of its engine: a new 4-cylinder flat, which is mounted longitudinally and clearly overhanging the front wheels. This choice is then put forward because it is very favorable to motor skills. Indeed, this block proves to be more compact and has a lower center of gravity than a 4 in line. With a displacement of 1490cc, it is coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission.
In terms of its dimensions, the Alfasud is a true compact: length of 3.89 meters, width of 1.59 meters, height of 1.37 meters on a wheelbase of 2.45 meters. Habitability has also been the subject of extensive optimization.

We have very little information on the history of this specimen. It was recently imported from Italy to Belgium by a professional, as part of a more global transaction. The vehicle does in fact have Italian papers, but can be easily registered as a collector's vehicle.
