The 156 GTA and 156 Sportwagon GTA were launched in September 2001, named after the Alfa Romeo GTA from the 1960s and abbreviated from Gran Turismo Alleggerita. The GTA was hand-assembled on a separate production line to the standard 156 models and continues to be highly sought-after by collectors as well as keen drivers due to its rarity, pedigree and Busso-designed engine. Very few GTAs were sold, with righthand drive vehicles holding a premium over lefthand drive vehicles due to their rarity. Furthermore, vehicles sold new in New Zealand and the United Kingdom hold a premium over other righthand drive markets such as Australia, Malaysia, Japan or Singapore due to a more desirable specification with higher output engines.
This example of the fabulous 156 GTA is offered in Alfa Silver with full Nero Monte Carlo black leather trim and in 2013 won the Alfa Romeo Owners Club best car - a credit to its owners. Our vendor has owned this car since 2014 and has continued the upkeep as a keen Alfa Romeo enthusiast and club member. Sensible upgrades have been carried out including the 330m Brembo brakes, KWI coil overs and all bushes replaced (all recognised Alfa upgrades from this era). Documentation supporting this work can be found within the comprehensive history file which also includes invoices for other regular maintenance and repairs including replacement of the cambelts and auxillary belts together with a replacement of both front wishbones.
Offered with a UK V5C registration document, two sets of keys and every MoT certificate including the current one valid until June 2021, this is a fabulous example of a very collectable Alfa saloon with viewing recommended.
Guide Price £8,000 - £12,000
