Gerrit Kreuter was the owner of this unusual Alfasud Ti QV.
He used it as every day transport for a short period of time. On the
photo on the right it looks like a usual Alfasud Ti 1.5 QV with a non-serial paint.
But in fact it is a very special Ti. In its best days, this Ti was a real thread! The engine developped
more than 130 bhp.
The only problem: when these photos were taken, there
was no engine in the engine bay anymore. Gerrit wanted to blueprint it
but did not manage to. Before Gerrit bought the car, it was an endurance racer. The yellow
roll cage is still mounted in the car. Being sponsored by the German tyre
shop "Point S", it was painted in their colours blue and green. The author already had the pleasure to
enter the driver's
seat in a narrow barn. Not that easy if you are 1.97 metres tall! The roll
cage makes it even more difficult. But if you have once found the way into the
driver seat, you do not want to leave the car anymore.
In Germany, all important modifications (roll cage,
lowering spring kit, smaller steering wheel, different wheel / tyre combinations
etc.) have to be aproved by the TÜV before you are allowed to drive the car on
the road. All the modifications on this Alfasud were aproved. Nethertheless,
there was no week where Gerit was not stopped by the police in order to check
that. Unfortunately they never found something illegal...
Meanwhile the Ti has found a new owner. Let's hope that it will soon
be back on track, chasing its competitors!
