The Background
The Alfa Romeo was styled by car designer Walter De Silva, adding Italian flair to a
A practical family hatchback made the 33 model the alternative choice to the popular Escort and Astra’s of the nineties that could be seen virtually on every street corner.
The car was produced from 1983 and finished production in 1995, shifting over 1 million units in total; it was a great success for the Italian company and was an affordable way into the brand. The 1.5 litre boxer engine produced a respectable 96 bhp, weighing in at only 970 kilos it felt a lot quicker than it actually was and was praised by the motoring press of the day for its handling and characterful engine.
This Alfa Romeo 33 has only had two owners in its lifetime, the current seller acquired the vehicle as it was deemed uneconomical for repair due to the paintwork which had been damaged by chemicals. The car then had a full respray, during its lifetime it has remained in East Kent and had extensive main dealer services though Alfa and specialist dealers. The seller has maintained the car to a high standard and in February it had a service, followed by an MOT in June of this year.
The vehicle is up for sale due to lack of use and space, it is a reluctant sale and the car has remained in original condition as much as possible.
With only two owners the car has a wealth of paperwork, original manuals, service stamps in the book and receipts for the majority of parts required when needed. The last service was February 2021 and MOT in June 2021, with two advisories. The car does come with two sets of keys.
The interior is in very good condition, the walnut steering wheel and gear knob are like new. All of the fabric on the seats are in superb condition and show the care and respect this car has had in its thirty years. The photographs show that there is a small crack on the off side rear door inner card , also on the front grab handles, driver and passenger side show wear and tear.
The interior boot carpet and floor carpets are, as you'd expect, in very good condition due to the two owners only having this vehicle. One note is that the Blaupunkt stereo is not working, it does just need recoding as it shows power to the unit, although the LCD
The Rosso red paintwork is in very good condition, from the respray as you’d expect it is free of any major marks. There are some light scuffs on the off side front bumper corner and passenger side door mirror casing. All genuine Alfa alloys are in exceptional condition, the near side rear has a very slight scuff. Good Year tyres are on all four wheels and in good condition with plenty of tread. The full size spare is also in good order.
The photographs show some areas which require touch ins, notably the drivers door edge, bonnet edge and on the near side boot lid edge. The light panel that goes along the rear of the car has a crack in the centre of the plastic. The bonnet does also have a small dent near the near side front corner.
The car runs smoothly with engine idle as you’d expect from the Boxer engine, purring away with a smooth ticker. The gears are smooth but the owner does mention that the second gear synchro is lazy to go in, a notable problem on this model that would require some attention. The front suspension does have a slight creaking and this is down to the front bushes which again would need looking at in time.
The Alfa Romeo brand is steeped in motorsport history, with this modern classic the Italian designer Walter De Silva produced a timeless yet practical sporting hatchback. This car comes with great ownership, the popular Rosso red paintwork and a punchy and rewarding 1.5 litre Boxer engine.
This car is perfect for a daily driver with a difference, practical, fun and also not out of place at a classic car show during those Spring and Summer months.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
