Mention Alfa Romeos from the 1960s and 1970s and what usually springs to mind is the marque's 105 Series Coupe, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone, considered to be one of his greatest designs. Not only as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars of the period, but the advanced specification, with its five-speed gearbox, all-round disc brakes, independent suspension, and powerful twin-cam engine, still has the capability to embarrass many of its modern counterparts.

This is a very early 105 series 'step nose' example, which has been in the care of our vendor for some 35 years, it was bought as his first car and used for four or five years before being laid up and stored in his father's garage up until 2018. The car is an original UK supplied example and is the perfect candidate for further restoration or to turn into a restomod. The car has undergone much work since 2018 such as fitment of a new front crossmember, front chassis legs and lower valance, both doors were rebuilt and reskinned, new fuel tank, fuel lines and rebuilt carburettors, new servo and rebuilt calipers, new radiator, water pump and hoses, new spring pans and track rod ends, new mats, re-covered rear seat and a new exhaust system. The car would next benefit from some attention to the paintwork, but it is perfectly useable as is and our vendor has been using it, but loss of storage now means the car must be sold. This provides an excellent opportunity to take on a car which has had much of the hard work completed and leaves the next owner with the decision on which style to finish the car in. Supplied to auction with an MoT test certificate valid until March 2025, a V5C registration document and various invoices. Consigned by Fraser Smith
