2008 ALFA ROMEO GT

Alfa Romeo GT Cloverleaf 1.9 JTDM 2008

Having owned my Alfa GT for nine years, being only the third owner of the car, it’s time for a change so she’s up for sale.

The car has 146k miles on the clock of which around half of that I have put on her as my daily driver.

Cars have always been a passion of mine, this was my fourth Alfa Romeo, so she’s been well cared for. During my ownership services have been carried out every 12 months or 12k miles, whichever being the shorter. Since I moved to Norfolk all servicing has been carried out by independent Alfa specialists Alfashop in Norwich.

A cambelt service was carried out last year when front shocks and springs were also changed, as were the front brake discs and rear brake calipers.

The service record is all stamped up and I have retained a significant number of receipts for work carried out.

Pirelli P Zeros, with plenty of tread, are fitted all round on the factory fitted alloys which were refurbished in 2021.

I wash the car using Meguiars Gold Class and polish with Meguiars Carnauba Wax then protect it using Autoglym Super Resin Polish. Probably why some of the neighbours refer to it as the shiniest car in the road, despite it being one of the oldest. That black paint really does gleam. I use Autoglym Leather Care Balm to feed the full leather seats.

The car has continued to be my reliable daily driver. Just two things don’t work being the aircon, which is due to a hose being unavailable, although I expect a hose and hydraulic specialist would be able to make one up, and the reversing sensors were intermittently working so I disconnected them at the connector in the boot.

There is some wear to the drivers seat bolster from getting in and out of the car which seems to be common on these cars.

If you run a history check on the vehicle a milage inconsistency is highlighted. This is clearly due to a type error in the MoT milage of 2015 prior to my ownership of the car where the milage is stated as 715,503. The 2014 MoT milage states 65069 miles and the 2016 MoT milage states 82,539. This didn’t worry me when I purchased the vehicle as all milages stated on all other previous MoT’s and service records tie up. I would hazard a guess that in the 2015 MoT the digit 5 was depressed twice inadvertently. Photos of the respective MoT milages are included with the pictures of the car.

Other than those few points it’s a very nice car which has been regularly maintained and still turns heads. The car has 12 months MoT.

No canvassers.
