Purchased in 2022 by current owner Mr Allan Green as part of his collection of classics. Living locally to Roger Bray Mr Green and myself (Era classics) went to see the car prior to purchase and Roger enthusiastically told us all about it.
Stunning and amazingly well preserved this 356 defies its restoration age and is a credit to correct storage conditions since completion.
Allan has continued to store in a Carcoon and is only selling to make way for a period racing Alfa for races such as the Millie Miglia.
Roger Bray has given it his usual comprehensive health checks in preparation for sale at a cost of £5, 500 including full service, tappets adjusted, new MOT, leak and compression tests etc ensuring its in fine fettle ready for the new owner to enjoy immediately.
Its also been driven circa 500 miles since the service and performed superbly with fault free motoring and is a lovely reliable 356 that’s ready for any UK or European road trip.
