MOT until- 15/10/2014
No tax- On SORN
SPARES OR REPAIRS
This is my Alfa Romeo which I’m selling because I simply don’t use it enough to warrant keeping it and it’s far too nice to sit outside and be neglected. In addition to this there are some issues which will need sorting soon, hence SPARES OR REPAIR. That said, it drove fine until the tax ran out when it was in daily use. It's still got nearly a years MOT’d so seems a shame to kill it! If nothing else just stick it on your drive as an ornament maybe?!
The car is a 1998 model with the 2.0 engine and has covered around 104500 miles. The car has a good service history with the all-important timing belts having been changed last year at 100242 miles.
The service history (as illustrated in the booklet is as follows)
13/07/98- Alfa Romeo Stockport
12/11/99- Independent (14182 miles)
10/10/01- Independent (20950 miles)
10/10/02- Independent (33396 miles)
01/10/03- Alfa Romeo Bristol (43165 miles)
13/10/04- Alfa Romeo Bristol (53128 miles) CAM BELT change
23/09/05- Independent (62193 miles)
11/10/06- Independent (71827 miles)
20/07/12- Independent (100242 miles) CAM BELT change
Since I’ve had the car it has never caused me any hassle and has never let me down. It always starts and behaves as it should with no overheating or warning lights flashing! Speaking of which, all the warning lights come on AND go out as they should. The car also comes with two keys.
The problems-
1) There is a whining noise (bearing/belt kind of noise) from what I have read I THINK it’s the belt tensioner. Obviously this wasn’t changed when the belt was. The car still drives fine but the noise and problem is there. So please bid with this in mind.
2) There were a couple of MOT advisories. Firstly the front discs will need doing soon but also some of the rear sub frame bushes need doing. There is some slight rear end rumble which indicates this. Again, car drives fine but it is something to bear in mind.
3) There are various dings and dents on the car but then it is 15 years old! There is also the usual bolster wear. However when scrubbed up the car still looks very pretty!
4) The car has no passenger seat! I have removed it to use it for another project! You could either replace it or a whole new interior can be had for £150.
The car is a Lusso spec model so has the gorgeous red Momo interior which is a lovely place to sit and works very well with the black paintwork. The electric windows all work as they should, as does the central locking and the car as a fairly new Kenwood CD player.
If I cant sell the car as it is I'll break it myself and weigh what is left in. But I don't really have the time to do it so offering it up one last time as is.
Car is located in Worcester. Viewing welcome.
I have got lots of photos but not sure how to add them here, when I work it out I'll stick some up! Until then I'm happy to email them.
PRICE- £300 ONO
