In 1967, IRI decided to promote and begin development of a small economy but sports car that was to be produced in a new plant in Pomigliano d'Arco, in the province of Naples. The idea was to build a car that was affordable but had the roominess and features of a higher-end car. Rudolf Hruska was called in to study this project and was responsible for the industrialisation of this Alfa Romeo. Featuring a spirited and unprecedented boxer engine and equipped with McPherson front suspension, the Alfasud was unveiled by Giuseppe Luraghi at the 1971 Turin Motor Show. Although its initial success was compromised by production errors that left the Alfasud exposed to corrosion, it remained in production for a full 12 years. Faster and more spacious than its competitors, the Alfasud was the Alfa Romeo of the company's new direction.

Difficult to find in absolutely pristine and well-preserved condition, the Alfasud is a car that has been gaining its own collector's appreciation in recent years. This 1.2 3rd series type 901D4 is presented here in fully preserved condition: it remained with the first owner until 2021 and is finished in the splendid combination of Blu Posillipo with Texalfa Cuoio interior. It was bought in 1980 by a gentleman living in the province of Parma and subsequently the car remained in the family, changing ownership twice.

It retains its first Parma plates, original floor mats from the Alfa Romeo dealer from whom it was purchased. It retains its double keys and on-board documentation and is ready for use. In 2018 ownership performed:

- Timing belt and water pump replacement
- Service belt
- Clutch replacement
- Rectification of the engine heads.

In July 2021 it underwent a subsequent thorough general inspection at an Alfa Romeo specialist, which involved:

- Engine oil change
- Replacement of oil filter
- Brake oil replacement
- New coolant and coolant reservoir
- Changed air and petrol filters
- Changed fuel hoses
- Changed front discs and pads with overhaul of calipers
- Changed rear pads
- New brake hoses, master cylinder and reservoir
- New electric fan bulb

In addition, this car is fitted with new spark plugs, spark plug wires, pins and capacitor, as well as a 50Ah battery. The carburettor has been adjusted as well as the valve clearance. The car also has an overhauled alternator and is fitted with four new Kleber Quadraxer tyres.

A real bargain for enthusiasts looking for a true 'survivor', offered in almost unique original condition. As usable today as it was then, it is without doubt one of the best Alfasuds on the market today.
