Highlights

  • Impressive state of conservation
  • Extensive recent mechanical work
  • Low mileage considered correct - 21,000km
  • Full history included

The Appeal

As Jeremy Clarkson once said, you're never a true car enthusiast until you've owned an Alfa Romeo. Indeed, these cars can be a lot of fun to drive, but they have a reputation for harbouring problems.
This Alfa Romeo 33, however, seems to have given all its problems to other examples. Indeed, having spent much of its life being pampered, covering very few miles during its lifetime, this car is in exceptionally good condition both inside and out. The interior in particular resembles that of a car fresh from the factory.
Mechanically, this 1.3 S has undergone a thorough overhaul in recent years. As a result, it runs like a dream and should perform wonderfully. If ever there was a car to help tick Alfa Romeo off the list of cars to own, this is it.

Summary

It looks brilliant and runs just as well after a great deal of mechanical work.
