2004 ALFA ROMEO

A rare opportunity to own an appreciating modern classic. This is a JDM (Japanese Import) 147 GTA, one of only 1,004 ever made, and tipped by Hagerty for its 2025 'Bull Market' list.

This is the Selespeed (F1-style paddle shift) model, NOT the manual.

As a JDM car, it has lived on salt-free roads and the underside is exceptionally clean. It has been fully prepped for the UK with over £6,600 in specialist work in my ownership (all documented).

Year: 2004 (04 Plate)

Engine: 3.2L Busso V6

Mileage: 59,000 km (approx. 36,000 miles)

MOT: 29th September 2026

Ownership: 1 UK owner (me) since import in 2024

Interior: Pristine and original

Condition: Excellent, 2 keys included

Plate: M80 GTA comes with the car.

Main Notes:

This car has a full, bespoke custom exhaust system fitted by its previous Japanese owner. This is an expensive, high-end system (estimated £5k-£6k value).

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is arguably the best-sounding Busso V6 in the country. It is absolutely intoxicating. Both SDR and Autolusso garages have commented on it (and we all geeked out on the workmanship!)

It has had a no-expense-spared major service and overhaul at Autolusso (Nov 2024 at 57,383km). The invoice for £5,748 is available to view.

Work includes:

Q2 UPGRADE: Brand new Quaife ATB Limited Slip Differential (LSD) supplied and fitted

GEARBOX: Full Selespeed setup and calibration , new Selespeed fluid , and new gearbox oil.

ENGINE: Full timing belt service with new belt, tensioner, and idlers.

ENGINE: New metal-impellar water pump.

ENGINE: Full V6 service with new 10w60 Fuchs Titan oil , 6x NGK spark plugs , and both rocker cover gaskets.

CHASSIS: Full chassis wax-oil protection. Arch liners removed, chassis cleaned, and fully protected with 3M Cavity Wax (see invoice).

BRAKES: Full brake fluid change.

SUSPENSION: Full 4-wheel alignment.

COSMETICS: Brand new genuine front bumper grilles (full set).

COSMETICS: New genuine front and rear badges.

The car drives like it's on rails and is bonkers fun. It's an event every single time you start it.

It comes with the original steering wheel, original titanium engine bay cross rod if you wish to refit them.

Any inspection is welcome (AA/RAC/specialist). Located in Hawkhurst.

Please, only serious enquiries if you are looking for this specific Selespeed model. This is a car for a true enthusiast or collector.
