Model History:
The Alfa Romeo 147 GTA, introduced in 2002, took a bold step by combining a compact hatchback with its legendary 3.2L V6 engine, the "Busso" named after engineering legend Giuseppe Busso.
This engine, celebrated for its soulful sound and robust performance, produced 247 horsepower, making the 147 GTA one of the most powerful front-wheel-drive hot hatches of its time. The 147 GTA's aggressive yet elegant styling, combined with its exhilarating driving experience, left a lasting impression on both enthusiasts and critics.
Vehicle History & Condition:
This particular 2002 Alfa Romeo 147 GTA was delivered in December 2002 at Autostadium Strasburg Alfa Romeo in France. Finished in a "Sterling Grey" , the car was originally fitted with a premium Bose sound system and leather upholstery, adding a layer of luxury to its sporting car character.
The current owner, committed to preserving and enhancing the driving experience, has made tasteful modifications.
In 2022, the brakes were upgraded to 330mm discs from later 147 GTA models, offering both originality and improved performance.
A Supersprint exhaust system was also installed, replacing the original exhaust and elevating the V6's sound development.
With just 95,700 km on the odometer, this example has been meticulously maintained. The owner has documented the car’s complete service history and offers a clean VIN report. The mechanical condition is excellent, with a timing belt and accessory belt service scheduled for September 2024.
The current owner offers the option to complete this service for the buyer (for a fee), ensuring continued peace of mind.
Inside, the car remains in good overall condition, with minor signs of wear consistent with its age and mileage as can be seen on the pictures.
The vehicle comes with two original keys, service booklets and manuals.
