AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Left-Hand Drive
• Dry stored under current ownership for 6 years
• Low reported mileage, driven less than 500 km in 6 years
• Extensively repaired bodywork with full floor replacement
• Includes new, unused door cards in original packaging
• European provenance history across France, the UK, and Ireland
HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
This vehicle represents an intriguing project for an enthusiastic collector or restorer. Under the current ownership for the past six years, the car has been dry stored and driven fewer than 500 km during this time.
According to available records, the vehicle was imported into France in 2005, subsequently moved to the UK in 2010, and arrived in Ireland in 2020. The current owner notes that a considerable amount of money has been spent sourcing original parts along with select modern improvements. It is presented as an ongoing project requiring final touches to complete.
EXTERIOR
• The bodywork has been repaired and repainted in a burgundy color, which was preferred over its original cherry red finish.
• The original cherry red color remains visible inside the engine bay.
• All floor panels have been replaced.
• The convertible hood is reported to be in very good condition with a clear rear window.
• Front and rear bumpers are described as acceptable, requiring minor repairs to achieve optimal condition.
• Wheels and tires are in good condition, though a powder coat finish on the wheels would enhance their appearance.
INTERIOR:
• Features 1970s seats in good condition displaying natural patina.
• The dashboard is fitted with a modern cover supplied by Classic Alfa, though refurbishing the original dashboard would be ideal.
• Includes a set of brand-new door cards, still in their original plastic packaging.
• Electrical components are in working order, with the exception of the heater, which is currently non-functional/untested.
MECHANICS:
• Powered by an engine that starts after a few turns and runs beautifully.
• The owner notes the car would benefit from an electronic ignition/starter upgrade.
• The vehicle shows very low indicated mileage, which the seller has no reason to doubt given the car's history.
DOCUMENTS:
• Comes with many receipts and records from previous owners documenting its care and history.
• Vehicle registration and history records showing provenance in France (2005), the UK (2010), and Ireland (2020).
It is recommended to view the vehicle prior to bidding. The vehicle is available for pick-up only in Dublin, Ireland. The buyer is responsible for pick-up, transport, and any applicable registration or transfer fees in their country.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
