VEHICLE DESCRIPTION

Strikingly beautiful to look at and powered by a sonorous, Ferrari-derived, 444bhp V8 engine, the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione has become a highly collectible modern classic.

Only 500 were built, and the spectacular example being offered for sale here is one of only 40 that were sold new in the UK. It was delivered on 7 May 2009 to an owner in the south-west of England, and has been fastidiously maintained ever since.

It comes with a complete set of books in their original leather wallet, and the service record shows that it was serviced by Maranello Sales on 26 April 2012, when it had covered 4649 miles. The Alfa was then entrusted to Meridien Modena, and returned there even after being sold to a new owner in 2015. He kept the car as part of his private collection, and by the time it was serviced by Meridien Modena on 30 June 2016, it had still covered only 8058 miles.

The following year, the 8C was sold via DK Engineering to its current owner – a former historics racer and lifelong motoring enthusiast. He has kept it ever since, and had it serviced by Cotswold Prestige Cars in August 2025, by which time it had clocked up 14,150 miles. He also added the distinctive yellow nose band in tribute to the fabulous Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 racing cars that enjoyed considerable success during the 1960s and 1970s.

Any 8C Competizione is a rare and coveted car, but UK-supplied examples are particularly scarce. From its Rosso Alfa bodywork to its evocative interior with swathes of leather and carbon-fibre trim, this cherished low-mileage car is an exceptionally charismatic alternative to its rivals from Porsche, Aston Martin and Maserati.
