Alfa Romeo Sprint 1.5, circa 1983. Today’s Tenerife car spot, an 1980’s Alfa from the boxer-engine era. Designed at Italdesign the Sprint was originally sold as an Alfasud Sprint but after 1983 the Alfasud model name was dropped. This one seems to be a local car as I’ve seen it several times, it’s in superb condition (must be garaged most of the time).

Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint Veloce 1.5 
Introduced in 1976, the Alfasud Sprint is the sporty version of the four-door sedan with which, four years earlier, Alfa Romeo entered for the first in the low-cost car category. The line, designed, like that of the normal Alfasud, by Giorgetto Giugiaro, proposes the low, sloping silhouette of another famous Alfa coupe designed by the car designer of the century, the 1974 Alfetta GT. Initially offered with the tried-and-true boxer engines with displacements of 1.3 and 1.5 litres fueled by a single double barrel carburettor, from 1979 the Alfasud Sprint was also offered in the more powerful single-fueled "Veloce" versions, both of which gained about ten horsepower: powered by two double barrel carburettor, the 1.3 provided 86 hp, while the more powerful 1.5 provided 95 hp. This light grey Alfasud Sprint  is not just any "Veloce" version with the more powerful 1.5-litre engine. The car is one of the 1000 examples of the special "Trofeo" series, which the company launched in 1982 on the wave of the success of the Trofeo Alfasud single-brand championship.Giugiaro's design. The grit of the boxer engine. The comfort and brilliance of the ride. These are just some of the reasons why the Alfasud Sprint has become one of the most popular and sought-after vintage Alfa Romeos among enthusiasts. The most powerful 1.5 engine provides a vigorous thrust that, forty years later, enables this snappy Italian school coupe to achieve excellent performance, especially in acceleration. In the special "Trofeo" series, then, Biscione's small sports car smells of racing, emphasizing a long tradition of success on the road and on the track that makes Alfa Romeo one of the world's most appreciated and beloved car makers.

😳1984 Alfa Romeo Sprint Quadrifoglio Verde "Grand Prix”😳 The Sprint used the front-wheel-drive platform and flat-four engine from the Alfasud. It was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign in the 1970s, but by the 1980s, the styling had evolved with bigger bumpers and spoilers and a revised nose. The Grand Prix special edition was just 100 cars based on the Quadrifoglio Verde with a 1.5-liter boxer engine. • • Visit www.Story-Cars.com • • #storycars #carpage #conceptcar #conceptcars #rarecar #rarecars #prototype #prototypes #giorgettogiugiaro #giugiaro #giugiarodesign #alfaromeo #alfaromeosprintquadrifoglioverde #alfaromeosprintquadrifoglio #grandprix #flat4 #flat4nation https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg0HWfHJHz2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🚘 #bixentef #tourisme #automobile #meteocar #vintage #legendcar #italycar 🇮🇹 #france 🇫🇷 #alfaRoméo #alfasud Bien que la mode des coupés touchait à sa fin, Alfa Romeo décida en 1976 de lancer l'Alfasud Sprint, un coupé 4 places avec une carrosserie fastback et hayon. Dessiné par Giugiaro et fortement inspiré par l'Alfetta GT, le résultat fut des plus plaisants. Le moteur était le boxer 1 286 cm3 de 75 ch, brillant mais pas très puissant. Le prix élevé limita son succès. En 1978, la gamme a été étendue avec l'introduction des versions Veloce 1.3 et Veloce 1.5, dotées des moteurs boxer à 2 carburateurs double corps de 1 351 cm3 (86 ch) et 1 490 cm3 (95 ch). Une version 1.3 avec moteur simple carburateur de 79 ch est maintenue en entrée de gamme.En 1982, un prototype fut nommé Sprint 6C destiné à être développé par Autodelta pour les rallyes internationaux. Il reçut un V6 de 2,5L en position centrale. Il n'y eut pas de suite. En 1983, un restylage (nouveaux pare-chocs en plastique, nouvelle calandre, nouveaux feux arrière, bandes latérales plus larges, peinture noire de toutes les parties auparavant chromées et nouveaux intérieurs) lança la seconde série, appelé tout simplement Sprint, perdant l'appellation Alfasud. Deux versions étaient disponibles : 1.3 (1 351 cm3, 86 ch) et 1.5 Quadrifoglio Verde (QV) (1 490 cm3, 105 ch). Le modèle QV se caractérise par une boîte de vitesses courte. Ce dernier est reconnaissable grâce aux lignes vertes sur les pare-chocs et des sièges sport avec appuis-tête percés. Cette version sera vraiment sportive, profitant d'une tenue de route et d'une motricité exemplaires.En 1986, la ligne est allégée grâce à l'élimination des bandes latérales et par quelques modifications aux pare-chocs. La cylindrée de la Quadrifoglio Verde, qui adopta un petit spoiler couleur de la carrosserie à l'arrière, passa de 1 490 cm3 à 1 712 cm3 (118 ch). Les dernières unités produites seront écoulées en 1989. À l'exception du dernier modèle 1 712 cm3, l'Alfasud "coupé" (berline trois portes) développe des performances un agrément de conduite généralement supérieurs aux Sprint. Aujourd'hui ce véhicule fait le bonheur de quelques collectionneurs @wikipedia (à Nîmes) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-JxHLUDt83/?igshid=3yezher595qi

Eight Standouts from the 2018 Jaguar Simola Hillclimb’s Classic Car Friday
KNYSNA, South Africa — First held in 2009, the Jaguar Simola Hillclimb has grown into one of South Africa’s premiere automotive events, with Jaguar joining starting in 2014. Over 17,000 people attended the 2018 edition, bringing much-needed revenue to the town of Knysna, which was badly battered by wildfires last June, mere weeks after the 2017 Hillclimb.
Due to a variety of factors, not the least of which is geography, South Africa’s classic car scene is a motley mix. Among the entries were plenty of Brits bearing the MG, Mini, and Lotus marque plus a grab-bag of Germans and Italians, homologation specials, and even bits of classic American muscle.
In all, 64 cars participated in the Classic Car Friday completion, from pre-war racers to air-cooled 911s and even an E34, divided up between eight classes. Many gathered in town for a show the day before the start of the event. Here are eight that stood out among the rest:
1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
At first glance, this red convertible looks like any other well-kept ’59 Corvette. Give it a second look, however, and its rollbar and racing seat will send your eyebrows rising. While that could mean anything with the hood down and the engine off, the owner left the hood open during the pre-event classic car show, betraying his car’s secret: a 5.7-liter LT-1 V-8. Classic American muscle is rare in South Africa, let alone 50s Corvettes with modern engines, so this car could very well be the only one of its kind in the country. The car finished sixth in the H8 class with a time of 54.788 seconds.
1984 Ford Sierra XR8
This South African native was one of two cars that bore the standard for the 1980s, the other being a 1988 BMW 325i. A South Africa-only homologation special created for competition in Group A racing, the Sierra XR8 is powered by a 5.0-liter V-8 from the Mustang mated to a Borg Warner T5 transmission. Only 250 were made. It finished tenth in the H7 class with a time of 56.230 seconds.
1963 Ferrari 250 GTE
No proper classic car gathering would be complete without a vintage Ferrari, and here that role was filled by this 1963 250 GTE. Though the car looks good enough to sit on the lawn at Pebble Beach, Hannes Pickard instead preferred to drive it in anger up the 1.2-mile course, posting a time of 56.230 seconds, finishing fourth in its H2 class.
1979 Porsche 911 Targa RS
Along with the mandatory Ferrari were several just-as-mandatory air-cooled Porsche 911s. While the ducktailed blue-and-white 1973 911 RS Rally made a strong case for inclusion here, as did a pair of 911 RSRs (a ’69 and a ’75), my personal preference for 911 Targas meant I had no choice but to go with this 1979 911 Targa RS. It finished ninth in the H7 class with a time of 55.836 seconds.
1968 Pontiac GTO
A late-60s Goat is just as unlikely of a find in South Africa as a 50s Corvette, and yet, here was this 1968 GTO. Though the factory engine was a 400 cubic inch V-8, this one was billed as having a 6.5-liter (397-ci) one. Packing the second-largest displacement of any vehicle competing in the 2018 Simola Hillclimb, the black-and-orange Pontiac posted a time of 1:00.412, taking first place in the H3 class. It also served well as a prop for a photo-op with South African comedian Mpho Popps, who made my stomach hurt from laughter for much of the weekend.
1972 Jaguar E-Type
Just like a choice had to be made between several Porsches, a similar decision had to be made between the two Jaguar E-Types on hand—the blue ’66 and the maroon ’72. While the earlier E-Type is easier on the eyes, the edge goes to the man brave enough to race a twelve-cylinder vintage Jag—the ‘72 boasts a 5.3-liter V-12, while the ‘66 features the 4.2-liter I-6. It placed second in the H3 class with a time of 1:06.338 seconds.
1978 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint The Sprint was the coupe version of the Giugiaro-styled Alfa Romeo Alfasud front-wheel drive subcompact. The car got its name from the south Italy factory in which it was built and the joint venture between Alfa Romeo and Finmecanica that built it. This ’78 Alfasud Sprint was powered by the 84-hp 1.5-liter flat-four. While that’s not much go, there’s not much for it to pull, either, as a stock sprint weighs about 2,000 pounds. The car finished third in the H6 class with a time of 1:03.856 seconds.
1972 BMW 3.0 CSL
The name BMW 3.0 CSL is one that needs no introduction to those familiar with touring car racing. Unveiled in 1972, the 3.0 CSL was a lightened version of the E9 3.0 CS made as an homologation special for the European Touring Car Championship. In all, 1,265 were made. This AC Shnitzer-worked example, was billed as having a 3.4-liter I-6 instead of the original 3.0-liter, however, which certainly helped when it came to running up the hill. He took top honors in the H7 class with a time of 48.159 seconds and fifth overall with a Classic Conqueror time of 48.062 seconds.

Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint 1.5 Veloce, 1976. Giugiaro had designed the coupé version of the Alfasud in the late 60s so it was one of Italdesign’s first cars, however it did not enter production until the mid-70s. It remained in the showrooms after the Alfasud saloon had been replaced by the Alfa 33 and was not replaced when it was finally discontinued in 1989
