DESCRIPTION
A stylish and timeless Italian classic, presented in Rosso Farina with contrasting black leather interior and black carpets, complete with a reconditioned dashboard, new black door cards, period correct Hellebore deep-dish steering wheel and Alfa GTA type wheels.
Since 2008 we are informed by the vendor this car has been meticulously rebuilt and has undergone an engine and mechanical upgrade via Magnum Engines and S&H Motors, tuned for optimum performance, coupled with an Alfaholics fast road suspension set up, body restoration and respray, along with numerous additional enhancements.
In 2009 at 117834 miles he tells us the engine was sent to Magnum Engines for a rebuild. Supporting invoices document the work and parts, including Alfaholics pistons & liners, gasket set, front crankshaft oil seal, rear crank oil seal, oil pump, Kent Race valve springs, engine mounts, C&B cams, timing chains, S/S braided fuel lines, a pair of Weber 40 DCOE carburettors and Pipercross KK300 air filter, and an Alfaholics stainless steel exhaust. Total cost reported to be in excess of £4200.00
In 2010 we are told the car was fitted with an Alfaholics fast road suspension kit including Koni sport front and rear shocks and braided brake hoses.
In 2012 Trickett Welding in Poole, who specialise in classic car restorations, carried out an impressive no body-filler restoration and respray.
The Auto-Delta 15-inch GTA-style wheels are fitted with a full set of Toyo Proxes T1R tyres (195/55R14)
We are informed there is an extensive history file with invoices dating back to 1990 which accompanies this Alfa Romeo, complete with a photographic record of the full body respray at Trickett Welding.
The car is presently fitted with Alfaholics Intertia-reel seat belts in the front and static belts in the rear. The original front static belts will also be included.
Recently classified as a HISTORIC vehicle with the DVLA this car is currently exempt from annual VED (road tax).
