This is a rare six‑speed manual variant of Alfa Romeo's 2.5‑litre V6 156 Veloce; according to the howmanyleft website, just 75 156 2.5 V6s are apparently left taxed on British roads.

This one has a full black leather interior and the desirable large real spoiler, with its low mileage of 54,516 largely supported by the MoT history.

The vendor tells us that it is 'a lovely car to drive'.

The car was originally registered in July 2001 and has four former registered keepers showing on its V5C.

Its MoT is valid until February 2023.

There is also an Alfa Romeo wallet containing manuals and service book with five stamps and a further hand written entry plus spare key.
