  • Six-speed manual gearbox
  • Full service history
  • Only 5 previous keepers
  • Many tasteful upgrades by specialists

Launched in 2002 as the top of the range hatchback model for Alfa Romeo, the GTA is powered by the classic Busso 3.2-litre 24 valve V6. Said to produce some 247 bhp it gave a top speed of circa 153 mph. Characterized by wider arches, Teledial 17 inch alloys and a more aggressive grille design, most examples had six-speed manual transmission whilst a small number featured the Selespeed automated manual system. In total, 5,029 147 GTAs were built, 1,004 of which were Selespeeds.

This 147 GTA was delivered new on the 20th of May 2005 and is finished in the traditional Alfa Romeo Red with a Black leather interior. Its 3.2-litre six-cylinder engine coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox has undoubtedly provided a lot of joy to its 5 previous keepers, covering 106,400 at the time of consignment. To improve the enjoyment factor even further, this 147 GTA has been fitted with a few tasteful modifications, including a Quaife diff, KW fully adjustable suspension, a Wizard stainless steel cat-back exhaust system, Autolusso silicone water pipes and air intake pipe, a BCM CDA carbon air intake, braided brake hoses, an engine strut brace, polished plenum, rocker cover and intake pipes, Alfa Romeo 159 wheels and refurbished brake callipers painted in yellow. The fact that it comes with a full service history, with the last service completed in May 2022, says a lot about the pride the current and previous owners have taken in the GTA and it is clearly evidenced by the condition of the car. Having benefitted from a new clutch, cambelt and water pump together with a refurbishment of the gearbox in 2020 and a new battery in 2022, the Alfa Romeo is described by the vendor as being in a very good condition mechanically and cosmetically, and is said to drive and handle very well. Offered with a big folder containing the handbook, service booklet, original brochure, invoices dating back to 2005, the car also comes with the original Teledial wheels, the original suspension with Eibach springs, air intake and coilover adjuster tool and an aluminium undertray. The original radio will also be refitted prior to the auction.
