Just a quick note. As former editor of Chequered Flag and part of the Perrier team; I had wondered where the Perrier Alfasud ended up... I would love to get any further updates... I had tracked down the clone car that was my daily drive but when last found it had been involved in two accidents and was beyond economic repair...

Seems this forum has given me some new passion to go for it ag.qain...

I've been told that the Perrier Sud ended up with Steve Downie in Sydney who turned it into a turbocharged sports sedan and raced it sporadically over the years. My recollection was that it was fast but fragile and Steve, an Alfa engineer/mechanic did a huge amount of development to make it work. I remember once Steve had it at Oran Park on jack stands with tyre warmers on the front tyres - can't recall whether the front wheels were 8 inch or 10 inch - but it was an amazing sight. 

I think Steve still has the Sud, but his son Mitch, who I think frequents this forum, would know for sure.

I've got the last Sud based twin carb Sprint 84 model. Does that count ?

[DAMO1A]

Why not!  It is certainly part of the Sud family.

There is a Red 83 Sud twin carb at Pacific Mtrs, at Pacific Hwy at Pymble.Sydney
Have confirmed the year.
Spoke to the owner,Andrew,, of the business who has owned it and restored it.
Currently in the showroom,with its 1985 Red GTV V6 brother,and can be viewed anytime.
Not for sale,as I have asked him many times.
One of  the nicer ones I have seen.

Wrecked plenty of them over the years,as no one wanted them.
Now I want one,,like many of us do= Nostalgia.

Why not!  It is certainly part of the Sud family.

  I'm just being a smart ass but I am pretty proud of my car

Sorry to say, but you need to take me off the list.  The rust was beyond my skill, so I sold my one to a chap who was going to use it's parts to resurrect his one.  Hopefully he'll be along soon with a beautiful Ti.   

And one day I hope to be back on the list.  I really love these cars.

Sheldon,

Very sorry to hear that but at least it is helping to resurrect another.  They seem to come out of the woodwork now and again so hopefully there will be another in your future.
