Description
The Alfa Romeo 2000 was a sports car produced by the Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo between 1958 and 1962, as a successor to the 1900 Super. It was replaced in 1962 by the Alfa Romeo 2600.
The 2000 was presented in 1957 at the Turin Motor Show, with 4-door, 6-seater saloon Berlina body. Production started in 1958, and the car was available as Berlina or Spider convertible. In 1960, the Sprint coupé was added. The 2000 Berlina had gearbox operated via column-mounted shifter making space for three people in front. The two Grand Touring versions had the gear lever located in the floor, and a higher output engine. Until 1961, when 2+2-seater became available, the Spider was a pure two-seater.
This car was manufactured in June 1960 for the South Africa market, which is where it has spent its life until December 2022 when it was bought by the current owner who shipped to the UK in January 2023. It was registered with the DVLA in June 2023 and given the registration number of 150 XWA.
In 2022 it underwent a major restoration which included a bare metal respray in its original colour of Rosso Alfa. Photos are available. It also had a later 2. 6 litre, 6 cylinder engine fitted.
Over £6000 has recently been spent on the car at a renowned classic car restoration specialist in Hampshire; work completed included: Brake system overhaul, new brake servo, brake master cylinder, new shock absorbers and oil service.
MOT’d until February 2027.
The car is in storage with us and we are selling it behalf of the customer.
