Looks like it.

Edit: It's not as I called them and checked.

The white coupe is Alfa White, not Madreperla. Madreperla is the matt finished pearlescent as per the LEs.

The LE satin white is Carrara white. Madreperla is the metallic gloss white.

Baring in mind you work for a dealer I'm surprised you think Madreperla is the matt finished pearlescent.

Carrara White was the matt finished pearlescent as per the LE Coupe.
Madreperla is the tricoat pearlescent with the normal gloss finish. Which is on my Spider incidentally.
Alfa White is the flat plain bright white that was quite popular on a lot of cars.

Anyway that car at Essex Prestige indeed is Alfa White as I called them and asked. Not always so easy to tell from the photos. That car is a cracking deal for someone.

I'd only have the satin white or comp red
This is the one I looked at (looks incredibly big next to my Exige!)

This was 2 years ago and the price was around £47k
Had done very few miles and the dealer had had it for sale for ages - was desperate to get rid of it and iirc there was a good deal to be had.

I nearly bought that car from GVE. Only had 150 miles didn't it.

They did want to move on the price so I never went for it.

The white is growing on me, either pearl or flat. Needs dark wheels and black roof, but I rather like it. It's clearly less of a popular colour, however, as they hang around more than the reds.

Seems not many people specced the pearl white, guess if they were willing to spend the extra they went with TriRosso.

Black 2015 coupe on 4K with what looks like Alfaworks exhaust up at £35.9k with QCC on eBay looks good price.
I reckon they'll deal around £34k

It's round the corner from me, I drove past it a couple of days ago. If someone wants me to go check it out on their behalf I'm happy to do so.

Anyone know why some have 4C embroided mats, some have what look like rubber mats? I can't see anything in the options saying this was a cost option?

The main issue for me is the standard wheels on the black car. I don't mind the alternative smaller wheels (black with the silver fins) but those do it no favours. I'm sure the car drives much better on the smaller wheels, but I'd have to factor in the cost of swapping those.

Given the current weather, how effective is the aircon fitted to a Spider?

Can only speak for the coupe but it works well enough. If the fan speed is set to '0' but the AC is on, a low speed fan runs by default which until recent heat wave has been enough for me.

I tend to leave AC on all the time all year round to keep it active.

Thanks, coming from a TVR which is almost undriveable in this weather, to have some decent cool air ventilation will be a major bonus!
The "Customer Service" provided by Alfa Romeo and the supplying dealer continues to be pretty poor. I hope the car is worth the leap of faith...

Unbelievable to think I picked mine up and still haven’t driven it with the roof on!

I can live with it.

Speaking of "Customer Service" or lack of it does anyone get a decent level of service from AR? When a chum made a call to a main dealer to enquire about a 4C and was first addressed as "Alright Bro" you get the impression whatever, if anything, is advised by AR UK, doesn't get filtered down to in-house staff training and selection.

AR UK if you want to improve the brand and raise your profile/image provide some distance between yourself and Fiat/Jeep.
