The Background:
The Alfa Romeo 3.2V6 GT was produced between 2004 and 2008 and is based on the legendary 156 GTA. Only 4,244 V6’s were produced worldwide and just 440 imported to the UK, so with Bertone styling the car, in usual Alfa fashion it stood out from the crowd.
The classic Coupé styling has the flexibility of a hatchback making it an extremely practical Grand Tourer, allowing full seating for four people as opposed to the usual 2+2 set up of its competitors, and an extra lap belt for short distance.
The top of the range 3.2 V6 ‘Busso’ engine sounds fabulous and with a smooth and precise six-speed manual gearbox you suddenly had a practical daily sports car capable of 0-60 in 6.5secs and 155mph (limited).

The History:
The owner is an Alfa Romeo owners club member, with another two in his collection and it is now time for this 3.2 V6 to go on to another home. The car has been serviced extensively during its life and with the car being in current ownership since March 2010, this GT has been part of the family, enjoying trips to Italy etc and being an extremely reliable and an enjoyable daily driver.
The car was originally an Alfa Romeo registered vehicle, then purchased by J.Vickers and Son (Bristol Alfa dealer) as a demonstrator, since then it has only had two private owners.

The Paperwork:
This car has a wealth of stamps, receipts and original books with it. The photographs show only a fraction of the cars history since it was first registered and highlight the owners love for this Alfa Romeo. There is a letter confirming that when sold from the dealership that they had purchased it direct from Alfa Romeo.
When work has had to be carried out on this car mechanically it has been done, all paperwork backs this up as do the stamps in the original service booklet. The car was last serviced in April 2021 and the MOT was carried out in September 2021, a first time pass with no advisories.

The Interior:
Lusso’s come with soft opulent Italian Frau tan leather upholstery which is in very good condition throughout, the light wear on the drivers bolster is to be expected with the mileage and age of the car but otherwise, passenger and rear seats are in good order.
The Hi-fi/CD unit is fully operational and linked to the impressive Bose sound system, the door cards are in good condition, with just superficial marks on the grab handles. The leather armrests and panels are free of any marks and damage.
The multi-functional leather steering wheel is in very good condition as is all the switch gear, the car’s impressive specification includes full electrics, dual zone climate control (cold), iPhone connection and as mentioned full leather interior. The boot area is clean and as shown in the photographs the rear seats fold down almost flat with a 60/40 split for versatility.

The Exterior:
Finished in Alfa Rosso, externally this GT in the owners words is “the most honest car you’ll ever find”, stone chips have been touched in, with some lacquer issues, notably on the roof and some small areas around the front bumper, the photographs show these in detail.
The 18” turbine alloys would benefit from refurbishment and showing the care for this car are wrapped in Good Year F1 asymmetric rubber, which have good tread on them. The red calliper Brembo 330mm brakes setting off the look of the GT and could do with a refresh to brighten them up cosmetically, though they work very effectively.

The Mechanics:
GT V6’s were galvanised and this car remains entirely rust free, being checked every year at service. Stamps show Autolusso, Day and White and Bianco’s have kept it in great mechanical health and it's had new cambelts with metal impeller/water pump fitted by all of them in that time with the last done at 85k in June 2018.
The Q2 Limited Slip differential was fitted on purchase and together with Bilstein B4 shocks ride/handling is improved. Front suspension was substantially rebuilt in 2019, Brake Master Cylinder, exhaust, alternator and radiator replaced too plus there’s new discs, ECU and rear wheel bearings in the impressive amount of paperwork making up the service history. Well placed aluminium pedals aid the driving experience.
The seller notes that the reversing sensors have just stopped working, possibly an earth issue but yet to be investigated.

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.
