Bodywork resprayed and reported to be in very good order
Recent service including cam belt change
MOT to July 2027 with no advisories
Good service history
Leather interior reported in very good condition
The Appeal
No discussion of the 156 GTA is complete without mention of its engine. The Busso V6 is often cited as one of the most soulful motors ever made, punching well above its weight in performance while delivering a glorious soundtrack. When introduced to the 156 platform, it makes for a seriously capable sports saloon, the likes of which Alfa has excelled at building for well over half a century.
Increasingly sought after as a modern classic, the GTA sits atop the 156 range and offers a driving experience few rivals can match.
This 2003 manual example presents well across the board. The bodywork has been resprayed, and the vendor reports it is very straight. Inside, the leather interior and original mats are said to be in very good order. Mechanically, the car benefits from a recent service and cam belt change, and it passed its most recent MOT with no advisories. Backed by a good service history, this 156 GTA appears to be a well-maintained example worthy of serious consideration.image.png1.74 MB
