In some of my shed photos you can see my 'Sud, and there are often a few appreciative comments, so here's a few pics. It' undergoing a bit of a resurrection at the moment..

It will rust, they all did - cracking engine and handling though.

Quality 8)

My parents owned a 1.5 'Sud when I was a kid - even my Mum thought it was a great car. Shame the chassis rotted and it went to the scrapper.

I had an Alfetta when I were a lad, went like a sh*t of the shovel, absolute stonker.

Oooooooo. I've come over all un-nessessary. I often mention 'Suds when the pub chat gets onto cars, and I googled them a while back, but there aren't many around, sadly, most being on the continent. Always wanted one, wish I'd bought one when I had a chance, but I never had a garage to do the work nessessary to keep the thing running, and as rust-free as possible. Ha!
Not jealous, no, not at all, no siree...

That is beautiful!

I would love to do up something like that, maybe after I've finished the MG.

My dad used to have a GT Junior when he was younger. He still has some pictures and it looks amazing. One day I will have a classic alfa.
