The Appeal
The Alfa Romeo 147 GTA is a truly powerful hot hatch from Alfa. When the GTA letters adorn one of their models you are usually in for an exhilarating experience. GTA stands for Gran Turismo Alleggerita, in other words a lightened GT.
The 147 GTA offers some impressive performance figures such as 0-62mph in 6.3 seconds with a top speed of 153mph, numbers that even by today's standards are very impressive for a hot hatch.
Braking and handling are also improved over the standard 147, with larger brake discs, 4 pot Brembo callipers all around and a suspension combination of high double wishbones at the front with a MacPherson strut arrangement at the rear. Alfa clearly understood the importance of the driving experience with the 147 GTA!

The Interior
- Original tan and black leather interior in very good condition
- All features such as aircon etc in working order
- Desirable factory fitted sunroof
- Original stereo with Bose speakers
This 147 GTA was thoughtfully configured from new by the original owner, boasting tan and black full leather seats, sunroof and a Bose sound system. The interior overall is in good to very good condition. The leather seats have been looked after with the only noticeable signs of wear around the driver’s seat bolster, though these are only scuff marks and the leather is free of any rips or tears.
We are told that all interior features work as should with the only area possibly requiring attention being the sun roof switch, it works as should but using an aftermarket switch, not the original switch or fixture. The headlining is in very good condition and the carpets are also Alfa Romeo branded and in good condition. The boot is in good condition too and included in the boot and sale is an all-weather car cover from Auto Covers.

The Exterior
- Desirable Verde Boreale (green) paintwork
- All weather car cover included in sale
- Matching refurbished original alloys
- Minimal chips and blemishes
Clad in Verde Boreale, an elegant colour which really accentuates the beautiful styling, this example gives for a graceful presence. The current owner has taken very good care which can be seen in the recent service history. The original alloys have been refurbished in 2016 ensuring there are no scuffs present. The alloys are complemented by red brake callipers all around which are in very good condition.
The paintwork has minimal chips and blemishes that you may expect with the age and mileage. The front headlamps do have some light fogging on the lenses, again in expectance with the age and mileage which would easily be polished out if so desired. The sunroof operates smoothly and in both pop up or fully retracted positions. All brightwork is in good condition with a special mention for the front grille and exhaust muffler tips.

The Mechanics
- Original 3.2L V6 engine
- 4 matching Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres with good tread
- Cruise control
- Desirable 6 speed manual model
- Upgraded Q2 differential
This 147 GTA possesses arguably one of Alfa Romeo's best engines. A truly beautiful all aluminium V6, not only to drive but also to hear and see. The current owner has ensured it has received regular and attentive servicing carried out with Alfa specialists. The current owner has also kept the intake runners polished which certainly catches the eye when opening the bonnet.
The owner informs that the tyres have driven less than 1000 miles since fitting and thus have plenty of tread remaining. The engine bay is clean and tidy and we have been told the vehicle accelerates and brakes very well with the V6 giving a lovely deep soundtrack, absent of any bangs, knocking or smoke. Also included in the boot is a spare wheel and an Alfa Romeo branded tyre pump.
The engine warning light is illuminated with an accompanying 'Motor control system failure' warning message, the current owner explains this is from a recent ECU issue. The ECU has since been repaired with a lifetime warranty included. However, the warning message is yet to be cleared with a diagnostics computer.

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.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
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.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
