Current V5 present. Paperwork includes some specification booklets, MOT certificates, a V11 tax reminder, a photo album containing photographs of the vehicle, and various invoices for parts and work.

The vendor has provided the following:

I have owned the vehicle since April 2019 (it had 3 previous owners and has now covered just over 49,000 miles), when purchased it was a good solid example with no rust and never welded. However, I decided to carry out a full nut and bolt restoration at a cost of over £25,000, with many new old stock or refurbished parts which was completed in June 2021 and included a professional respray (in its original Cosmos blue). See photo album for details of restoration.

I have carried out some subtle modifications and improvements which include:

Stainless steel decat manifolds (Zircotec ceramic coated), CF3 downpipes & cat-back exhaust system all from Wizard Exhausts Ltd
Refurbished Genuine GTA teledial 17” alloy wheels (date stamped 2003)
New Genuine GTA front & rear anti-roll bars
Short shift adaptor from Totally Alfa
Quaife limited slip differential
Wiechers front strut brace
Bilstein B14 coilovers
Alpine CD head unit

The car is in nearly new condition and one of the best & lowest mileage examples of this desirable Busso engine V6 manual cars left on the road.

I entered it in last year's AROC National Alfa Day 2023 'Show & Shine' and it was a class winner.

I last changed the engine oil and filter on 26th August 23 at 47,156 miles and also applied Lanoguard underbody rust protection.

The latest MOT passed on 11th April 24 with no advisories. V5, previous MOTs & service history/receipts + original sales brochures included.

The car has always been garaged in my ownership, the sale also includes an all-weather outdoor car cover which I use to stop it getting dusty. In addition, I have included the original cat manifolds if you want to refit and reduce the engine noise.

On August 24 I had the car professionally machine polished and a 3-year ceramic coating applied (at a cost of £500).
