£4,000 recent recommissioning by specialist Alex Jupe Motorsport
Four registered keepers from new
Desirable black non-sunroof model with Veloce kit
Mechanically good with scope to sort cosmetics
MOT to November 2024 with no advisories
The Appeal
The 75 is the last of a very special type of Alfa Romeo. The last car produced by the independent company and the last of the long run of rear drive transaxle saloons offering near perfect weight distribution.
Then there is the Busso V6, one of the greatest engines of all time. It all makes the 75 3litre one of Alfa Romeo’s gems. The trouble is, finding a good one now is akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.
Problem solved. Here is not just a 75 V6 but a desirable non-sunroof model with Veloce kit in black. It has also been recently recommissioned by transaxle specialist Alex Jupe Motorsport costing £4,000. The result is a car that feels taut on the road and carries a long MOT to November 2024 with no advisories.
There is scope to take the cosmetics to the next level. But we imagine that can wait because this is a car built to be driven and enjoyed.
