The Appeal
As part of a collaboration with renowned rally-car builder and specialist tuner, Prodrive, Alfa Romeo produced 500 ‘S’ variants of the Giugiaro designed Brera. Only 250 of those featured Alfa’s V6 drivetrain.
Here we have a very rare and collectible V6 ‘S’ model, presented in very good, original condition. With numerous enhancements over the standard model, this is a superb opportunity to acquire one of the rarest performance cars of the 2000s.

Summary
Car enthusiasts generally love an Alfa, mainly because few marques produce cars with the flair and personality of the Italian manufacturer.
The Brera is certainly one of the best looking cars they’ve made in recent decades, and in V6 ‘S’ specification, it drives as well as it looks. Add to that the fact that this is a very rare car, with only 250 having been made, and that it presents in very good condition for its age, and you have something very special. Collectible, brilliant to drive and stunning to look at – it would be a crime to let this lovely Alfa slip through your fingers.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
