SUMMARY
Crack open the 'Bolly' for the car famously clamped outside Harvey Nicholls. Known ownership from new, period right-hand drive conversion and a recorded equivalent of 46,326 miles.
DESCRIPTION
- The S4 was launched in 1990 with curved, colour-coded bumpers, a Bosch Motronic fuel-injected 2-litre engine mated to a 5-speed gearbox and only available in left-hand drive
- This example was supplied new to Fiat Motor Sales of Wembley on 01/04/1993 with a factory hardtop and the car was registered to them as K857 SLB, we assume as a demonstrator. It was purchased by our enthusiast vendor on 06/08/2016
- The second series of Absolutely Fabulous aired in 1994 and the fifth episode, Poor, is still a favourite with many fans
- Forced to economise, Edina gives up her chauffeur-driven Daimler and buys 'the smallest car she could find', causing mayhem along the way with the Alfa later clamped outside the Harvey Nicholls front door
- Converted in period to right-hand drive, it's presented to auction with book packs, copy historic registration documents, historic receipts and MOTs
- The car is not without a few scuffs to the paintwork but, as an Italian roadster that has covered 74,556km (46,326 miles) on British roads from new, the condition is remarkable overall
- An ideal first-time classic or a must-have for a diehard fan of the show, this 'darling little Alfa' is an 'absolute sweetie'
