Alfa Romeo - AR8 4x4 - 1983

Alfa Romeo AR8 4x4 Sirecome – 1983 | 5000 original kilometers

We propose for sale a very rare Alfa Romeo AR8 4x4 from 1983, with only 5000 original certified kilometers. The odometer has been replaced because, having been registered for civilian use, the mandatory tachograph for registration was added, which currently shows the kilometers run since it was nationalized; however, in the registration book the real mileage of the vehicle has been recorded. By losing a bit of payload you can also lower the gross weight to 35 q.li, but still listing it to a private individual does not require the tachograph.

The vehicle was supplied new to the Police of Rome and has been used exclusively for transporting horses during official events.

Special Sirecome setup, 2.5 Iveco engine, 4x4 selectable with low gears.

This vehicle represents an excellent opportunity both as a historical collectible vehicle, due to its rarity and exceptional condition, and as a base for a special project. It can be transformed into a expedition vehicle, camper, expedition vehicle, or into a support vehicle for sports teams or competitions.

Body:

The vehicle has been stationary for a long time and, due to sun exposure, the paint has slightly faded. The previous owner had the cab completely repainted and the cell refurbished. The upper part above the cab needs a new polish, an operation we can perform before delivery.

The chassis is in excellent condition, still in its original Iveco red color, solid and free from rust or defects. The door and windscreen seals are new.

At the rear of the cell there is an original tailgate used for loading horses. The tailgate can be easily removed to conveniently use the two traditional rear doors.

Internally the cell is fully lined with 3 mm anti-slip aluminum sheets.

Interiors:

The interiors are completely original. The seat fabric is the first equipment type, with no tears and the padding is in excellent condition. In the center there is a machined aluminum cover where the Police radio was originally installed, removed at the time of sale.

The door panels are in excellent condition and the headliner still retains the original plastic cover.

Mechanical:

Engine, gearbox and differentials work very well. The engine starts at first attempt even in winter, there are no oil leaks and all gears engage correctly. The 4x4 engagement and low gears also operate normally.

Before delivery a general service will be performed. The battery and six tires are new.

For those seeking higher performance, this model offers interesting upgrade possibilities: with few modifications it is possible to install an engine from the same family brought to 2.8 liters, with intercooler and modified pump, achieving up to about 160 HP. Another possible upgrade is fitting higher-profile tires to further improve the vehicle’s appearance and off-road capabilities.

Documents:

The vehicle is in order with the documents. It can be sold in Italy with a regular title transfer, or, for abroad, it will be delivered with the original logbook stamped for export to the buyer’s destination country.

At the time of sale, a new inspection will be performed. A copy of the logbook front/back is available, with stamps of the last two regular inspections.

The vehicle is located in Scorzè, in the province of Venice. It can be picked up at our premises or shipping to Europe or America can be organized, at the buyer’s expense.
