Created primarily for the Japanese market based on the 1997 MY GTV, it stood as the fastest mass-produced road-going Alfa Romeo prior to the release of the limited-run 8C Competizione. This specific vehicle is chassis Number 3 of only 5 units ever produced. Imported from Japan to the UK in 2020, it has been kept in dry storage within a private collection and presents in remarkable, time-warp condition without any prior body repairs or accident history in either jurisdiction. BODYWORK/PAINT: The paintwork is in very good condition throughout. The rubber seals, windows, chrome elements, and light lenses are all in very good order. The car retains its unique Conrero visual upgrades, featuring an aggressive body kit with a custom front lower lip spoiler, an upgraded rear spoiler, lightweight alloy wheels, bespoke quad-tip dual exhaust pipes, and original "Conrero Challenge" badging. INTERIOR: The cabin is presented in exceptional condition, with all upholstery, seats, headliner, dashboard, and door cards remaining original as supplied by Conrero. Unlike typical period Alfa Romeos, all electrical systems are fully operational with no current faults or issues reported. MECHANICS: Under the bonnet is the iconic 3.0-litre 24V Busso V6 engine, heavily tuned by Conrero from the standard 220 hp up to 280 hp. Power is delivered via a manual transmission, achieving 0–100 km/h in 6.3 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h. Mechanical components—including brakes, tyres, suspension, belts, and clutch—are in good condition. The engine starts on the first turn and runs smoothly and responsively, with excellent engine and gearbox performance. DOCUMENTS: The vehicle comes with its original handbooks and Japanese service sheets. In Japan, the mandatory bi-annual Shaken inspection serves as official verification of strict, ongoing maintenance. The vehicle can be viewed and picked up. Bids do not include transportation or export costs unless stated otherwise. Arranging transport, transfer of ownership, and any applicable export/COC fees are the responsibility of the buyer.
