The Alfa Romeo Alfetta was conceived as the technological flagship of Alfa Romeo’s sedan range, introducing a transaxle layout that placed the gearbox and clutch at the rear for improved weight distribution. By the early 1980s the 2.0-litre version represented the most refined evolution of the original project, combining the marque’s twin-cam four-cylinder engine with balanced handling and everyday usability. While many examples have accumulated high mileage or undergone extensive restoration, preserved cars have become increasingly difficult to find.

According to the seller, this 1982 Alfetta 2.0 has covered just 18,478 kilometres from new and remains completely original, with no restoration work carried out. The photographs are consistent with that description. The engine bay retains its factory layout, finishes and ancillary components, while the cabin shows very limited wear, with beige upholstery, dashboard, steering wheel and trim appearing remarkably well preserved. The exterior in Blu Alfa also presents as coherent throughout, and the car is accompanied by ASI Targa Oro certification, an important recognition of originality when correctly documented.

If the mileage is supported by service records and inspection history, this would place the car among the best-preserved surviving Alfetta saloons rather than simply another restored example. As with any low-mileage preserved car, prospective buyers should verify the documentation behind the odometer reading, inspect typical corrosion-prone areas such as the sills, floorpan, suspension mounting points and rear axle attachments, and confirm that the mechanical components have been regularly exercised despite the limited use. The originality visible in the photographs appears to be the car’s principal strength. Find it for sale at €25,000 (Today $29,300) here in Verona, Italy.
