Sprint specifications

Got my wee Sprinty and the plan is to ensure it is to original spec. Trouble is there are so many permutations of spec that I am confused - skirts, no skirts. Pepperpots or not, black interior - or not, Black bumpers, or body colour etc etc etc.
Mine is an '88 green cloverleaf 1.7. What should it look like inside and out?
Can anyone assist??

Hi Scott

I'd post a few pics if i were you (inside and out) -then let the experts out there tell you what's original or what needs to be changed


cheers

Exterior shots here. Interior to follow as I don't have any . . . . .

From outside looks to be untouched....No plastic on the sides , rear fender , rims same as those in 33 , colored scudeto and sideskirts as those in the IE version of sprint....


One of the last that came out of production....

Cool kids in the pics, have some pics of my Sprints with my kids in somewhere, brings back good memories

If its a 1.7 then it is not called Green Cloverleaf but just Sprint 1.7. The earlier 1.5 was called Green Cloverleaf (with interior to match) and black plastic side trims along the side

From your pics I would say wheels are correct, interior looks like the grey/white check interior and dark grey dash.

The standard 1.7 Sprint bumpers and side skirts should be black. Only the Veloce with the Zender body kit was body colour.

Grill surround should be chrome and not red and mirrors could also be red too. Rear spoiler is correct.

Just my opinion but I think it looks great as it is and no reason to change the bumpers etc.

Was there an IE version of the Sprint?.......I dont think there was one in the UK

Here are some shots of an unmodified Sprint 1.7 I found on the net

There is a good photo resource on part of Alfa's website for anyone looking for reference pics Archivio Fotografico - Fiat Group Automobiles Press

There was an IE version of sprint ,i dont know though if there was in UK. In fact the rear spoiler that i got was forn an IE sprint i found in the jankyard and also had the same sideskerts and the bumpers where also painted.. yes scudeto should have been chrome but i like it in red and it is a minor next to other things....

I have the original Alfa UK 1.7 Sprint brochure somewhere, might look it out if you want.

If you have that would be grand. A scan would be fine.

Many thanks

IE being injection? (as per 33)

It definitely has carburettors!

The last Sprints had injection , 1,7 ie ....

I noticed the mirrors and i thing they might not be the originals since from whta i can see the base of them is not as wide as in mine.

Do they have the word Alfaromeo on them? Can they be adjusted from inside with a stick on the door?

Sorry not the greatest quality for text but pics should give the idea
