1975 Alfa Romeo Alfasud 5M In Unrepeatable Condition

1975 Alfa Romeo Alfasud 5M – The Best in Existence

One Owner – Unrepeatable Condition – Collector’s Dream

Some classics survive. This one has been preserved. A 1975 Alfa Romeo Alfasud 5M in astonishing original condition, untouched by rust, neglect, or careless hands. One meticulous owner, a dry South African climate (1, 800m above sea level), and obsessive care have kept this car exactly as Alfa Romeo built it—something no other Alfasud can claim.

A Cherished Machine – The Story of Silvana Di Matteo

This Alfasud was purchased new in 1975 by Silvana Di Matteo, an Italian woman who settled in Pretoria and brought with her a deep appreciation for Alfa Romeo. From the moment she took delivery, this car was her pride and joy, her constant companion, her treasured possession.

Silvana treated her Alfasud like a child—never driven in the rain, never parked under the harsh sun, and always maintained with the utmost care. She would gently polish the brightwork, adjust the mirrors with precision, and close the doors softly, as if speaking to the car in its native Italian. This is why it has survived while others have long since rusted away.

Offered by a Serious Collector

I am not a dealer. I am a private collector with a deep appreciation for special cars, having owned some of the world’s finest machines. Yet, despite the immense cars that have passed through my hands, this humble little Alfasud has remained one of my most treasured possessions. I understand what makes a car truly rare, and this is not just an Alfasud—it is a museum-grade survivor, a true unicorn.

I never planned to sell this car. But due to political instability in South Africa, I am reluctantly parting with one of the best cars I have ever owned. This is not just another classic for sale—this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the best-preserved Alfasud in existence.

Unrestored Perfection

• Original Capo di Monte paintwork – deep, lustrous, and never resprayed.

• Brightwork in spectacular condition – not a hint of pitting or dullness.

• All glass crystal-clear – free of scratches, delamination, or haze.

• Lenses and lights unblemished – no cracks, no fading, no cheap replacements.

• Rubber seals still supple – doors close with the precise, satisfying “click” Alfa intended.

Rare Period-Correct Campagnolo Alloys – With Original Wheels Included

This Alfasud sits on an extremely rare, period-fitted set of Campagnolo alloys, adding to its unique and desirable specification. However, for the purist, the original steel wheels with embellishments are also included, ensuring this car remains exactly as it was when new.

Mechanically Sorted – Drives as Beautifully as It Looks

Unlike most “survivors” that need thousands spent just to move, this Alfasud is ready to enjoy. A substantial amount of money has just been invested to ensure everything works flawlessly:

• Flat-four engine sings beautifully – smooth, eager, and properly maintained.

• 5-speed gearbox is crisp and precise – a joy to row through the gears.

• Brakes, suspension, and electrics fully sorted – no surprises, no excuses.

A Driving Experience Like No Other

Light, nimble, and perfectly balanced, the Alfasud was built for the roads of Europe. Twisty mountain passes, winding coastal highways, the open road—this car was made for them. It dances through corners with the agility only a lightweight, perfectly engineered Alfa Romeo can deliver.

And then there’s the smell. Open the door, and you’re hit with that unmistakable scent of 1970s Alfa Romeo—warm vinyl, untouched fabric, and the pure, irreplaceable aroma of an unrestored classic. No musty dampness, no artificial air fresheners—just the scent of history, perfectly preserved. A Museum-Grade Classic – Never to be Repeated

No rust. No abuse. No disappointments. This car does not belong in a lineup of “drivers” or “weekend toys.” This is a reference-grade piece for the collector who demands the best.

International Shipping – Handled with Professional Care

For international buyers, I have made full shipping arrangements through Freight Factory, based at the port of Cape Town. This is a highly professional outfit that specializes in the careful, secure transport of classic cars worldwide. Buyers can rest assured that this Alfasud will be handled with the same level of care and respect it has received its entire life.

Serious Buyers Only

I’ve already wasted weeks dealing with a time-waster who strung me along with empty promises. I will not entertain another. If you’re serious and understand what this car is, reach out. If not, please don’t waste my time.

Serious inquiries only.
