2004 Alfa Romeo

Reluctantly selling my 2004 147 GTA due to lack of use (have a company car).

79k miles, Rosso Red paint with black leather interior, original 17" Teledial alloys repainted in anthracite.

Two keys

MOT expires 01/08/2019

330mm Brembo brakes, Autodelta LSD (an important upgrade for these cars, most owners have a Q2/Quaife diff but this is Autodelta's in-house differential which is essentially the same).

Upgraded stereo with iPod connection in glovebox.

Bose speakers & factory subwoofer

Heated front seats/PAS/Climate control/Cruise control/Traction control/ABS

Autodelta-fitted 147 GTA AM front bumper (resembles an Alfa GT).

The car also has been treated to the following modifications, which are fairly standard in the 147/156 GTA world:

KW V1 shock absorbers & springs, lowered 30mm

Ragazzon quad-exit exhaust with Ragazzon centre pipe (cat still in place)

Performance Friction brake pads

K&N drop-in air filter

Autodelta carbon-fibre intake pipe

Autolusso silicone top intake elbow

Powerflexed rear suspension and front anti-roll bar

Mechanically-speaking there is nothing to do on the car; it has been well-maintained over the years. There are no electrical problems and no engine management light showing. I have a large ring-binder full of receipts from the last few years, including the original owner's order form for the vehicle in 2004.

The car has a large wad of paperwork and full service history. Laurence at Autolusso Bournemouth has looked after the car religiously for the last 4 years and is happy to discuss the car with a potential buyer. All the major work which a 147 GTA needs doing has been done in the last 2-3 years, and a major engine overhaul was carried out in August, including:

Complete top-end engine rebuild including cambelt, tensioners, water pump & headgaskets

Oil change & filter cleaned, service carried out

Aircon regassed (no leaks)

New radiator

New battery

4-wheel alignment & tracking

Minor welding done to seatbelt mounting point on floor; this is the only welding the car has ever needed.

In addition, the car has had the following notable maintenance items:

New clutch fitted 2017

New exhaust flexis fitted March 2017

New NGK spark plugs & rear engine mount fitted 2016

Undersealed in 2015

New alternator fitted November 2014

Notable points:

The wheels could do with a refurb as they are marked in several places.

The lacquer is also delaminating from the paintwork over the rear offside arch. Rosso Red fades somewhat in the sun; the car could benefit from a decent paintwork tidy-up really, and had I kept the car I would have carried this out.

These points have been factored into the price.

Private plate will NOT come with the car and will be retained before sale.

Owner is regular member of "Alfabook" & AlfaOwner owners' communities.

Original plate for HPI searches etc is EJ04 CHC.
