SUMMARY
From 11 years current ownership and still bearing its Top Gear battle scars, would add interest to any Collection and undoubtedly a conversation starter.
DESCRIPTION
- Named to celebrate Alfa's 75th Anniversary, the 75 Saloon gained a reputation for superb dynamics, great handling and particularly in 3-litre V6 form, sparkling performance
- Top of the range was the rare 3.0 Veloce with the even rarer OEM leather interior, as we have here
- It's an original UK-supplied example showing just over 51,000 miles supported by a comprehensive history file with original handbooks, stamped service book, old MOTs and a fully detailed DVLA ownership log showing every change of keeper
- However, the appeal of this particular Alfa will have very little to do with the above, as it was used (and abused) by Jeremy Clarkson during the infamous Alfa Challenge in Episode 3 of Top Gear's Season 11 - 3 Italians fight it out
- Despite his best efforts, the Alfa survived and was later purchased by our vendor, still wearing its battle scars
- During our vendor's 11 years of ownership, c.£4,500 has been spent on the car mechanically, including a cam belt service, new clutch, fully rebuilt gearbox and more
- The car is supplied with three doors, a bonnet, front wings, rear arches, and front and rear bumpers should its next owner wish to return the car to standard spec
- A great opportunity to buy a TV 'star car' that starts, runs and stops. Last MOT expired in 2017
Category 'C' Insurance Loss. Vehicle Extensively Damaged but Repairable - Insurer Decided Not To Repair - 23/09/2001
The car was recently reviewed and driven by Mike from Drive Tribe - you can watch the video here We Drove a Legendary Clarkson Top Gear Car

Vehicle History
Remarks
The cars first 4 owners were all the same company and the last private owner was the owner of the company that bought it new, he continued to own the car until it was sold to to the dealer that supplied it to Top Gear production team, the car was also damaged during his ownership and he bought it from the insurance company and had it repaid and continued to own the car for a further few years. It would not take much for an insurance company to not repair an 11 year old Alfa Romeo. I have 3 doors, a bonnet, front wings, rear arches and front and rear bumpers to go with the car.
