Description
This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Classic Car Sale at Stoneleigh Park 2024 on Saturday the 28th of September, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, CV8 2LG.
The S4 was launched in 1990 with curved, colour-coded bumpers, a Bosch Motronic fuel-injected 2-litre engine mated to a 5-speed gearbox and only available in left-hand drive
This example was supplied new to Fiat Motor Sales of Wembley on 01/ 04/ 1993 with a factory hardtop and the car was registered to them as K857 SLB, we assume as a demonstrator. It was purchased by our enthusiast vendor on 06/ 08/ 2016
The second series of Absolutely Fabulous aired in 1994 and the fifth episode, Poor, is still a favourite with many fans
Forced to economise, Edina gives up her chauffeur-driven Daimler and buys 'the smallest car she could find', causing mayhem along the way with the Alfa later clamped outside the Harvey Nicholls front door
Converted in period to right-hand drive, it's presented to auction with book packs, copy historic registration documents, historic receipts and MOTs
The car is not without a few scuffs to the paintwork but, as an Italian roadster that has covered 74, 556km (46, 326 miles) on British roads from new, the condition is remarkable overall
An ideal first-time classic or a must-have for a diehard fan of the show, this 'darling little Alfa' is an 'absolute sweetie'
