Wow, that sounds and looks superb. The other green Alfa seems OK as well.

The other green Alfa is the same Muschio Verde and was owned by the French guy who took the photos. It was a chance meeting, we'd followed each other for a while on Insta (@woody.gt and @gui_pix) as we have a shared Alfa love. He could see I'd posted a picture in Nantes and happened to be in the area so he came down and met up with us.

Took my daily Alfa for an Italian tune up yesterday



Stock figure 148hp, 184 lb.ft
Stock* on the day 163hp, 198lb.ft
Tuned 205hp, 219lb.ft

The OEM mapping was weird, when D was selected on the DNA switch, which is the most aggressive of the 3 selections, setting off in 1st was always very lurchy. That has gone away now, car feels very strong in all gears now, no flatspots (4th gear always felt flat between about 4500-6000) and just generally drives a lot nicer.

If you -10 for the RR potentially overreading that probably gives you more realistic figures of 195hp , 209lb.ft

Yes, they are Aliexpress £4 Ferrari centre caps!

To be honest for £4 they are really good quality, not your usual stick on a blank centre cap, proper centre caps.

Sweet!

New addition to the family. Humble Sud 1.5. 42k miles from new. Had the original rear tyres on the car when I took delivery.

wow, looks better then mine back in 1984... and that one was only 4 years old.

Alfa Sud 1300cc brown metall from 1980

Oh my God that's magnificent. Boggo spec, beige, right up my alley.

First Sud I ever sat in was a brown metallic Sud but from 70’s. Waaaayy back.

Can’t find any evidence of welding on the car although it has age related rash on body work which will need redoing.

Probably made in the same place as my genuine Maserati centre caps.
Nice car btw.

My Spider sits on BC Racing now: dropped half an inch and insane better driving. Here's an old piccie.

Hello sir,

1981.

Will do. This car is far from perfect but body is solid (needs a repaint ideally).

My first post on this thread, my Guilia QV, owned for the past couple of years, just over 40k miles

[Tim16V]

Picked this up today after years of BMWs and I’m delighted I did!

[Martyn P]

Hello to all.

Back into Alfa ownership, 4th one I have now owned (Sud, 147, GT previously).

Just collected it today - maybe one of the last produced (May 2025)?

Took the long way home ...

Stunning looking car. I did look at them back in 2019, but ultimately went for another BMW. It seems like you went the other way.

Still the best looking car on the market.
But as far as I know they have extended production for another two years, so unless it’s only LHD ones, it may not be one of the last!

The Quad is out of production currently, but I believe it may resume. The normal variants are as you say.

Agree, the looks were as important as the performance.
The dealer did say they 'might' resume production because Alfa were not happy with the replacements being suggested by Stelantis!
