Classic Alfa Romeo Buyer’s Tips

If you’ve been thinking about adding a classic Alfa Romeo to your garage but want to ensure you are prepared for the buying process, you’ve come to the right place to learn the valuable classic Alfa Romeo Buyer’s Tips you need to be successful. Whether you’re in search of a classic Alfa Romeo 1900 for restoration, a Giulietta Sprint Speciale in mint-condition or one of the first Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 touring cars, The Beverly Hills Car Club looks forward to sharing their knowledge and expertise with you.

With that being said, let’s take a look at some of the classic Alfa Romeo Buyer’s Tips that The Beverly Hills Car Club has learned over their years of experience in the classic car marketplace.

1. Rust Requires Further Inspection: While a bubble or two of rust on a quarter panel may not deter you from purchasing a classic Alfa Romeo, if you can see through the trunk and floors or the sides are eaten up, be sure you consider the cost it will take you to repair and restore the classic. Classic Alfa Romeos are plagued by rust, yet there comes a point when your money is better spent finding a car in better condition. Of course, this all depends on the level of restoration you’re willing to take on.

2. Always Check the Numbers: As with most classics, numbers-matching cars are typically the most valuable. This means the car’s engine, transmission and chassis numbers all match up to the car’s VIN number or historical records. Unsure of where to look? An Alfa Romeo specialist or mechanic can assist you in locating these numbers.

3. Lower Production Numbers and Mileage: If you’re thinking about buying a classic Alfa Romeo for investment purposes, focus on models with low production numbers like the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale or the early 6C 2500 examples. Low production numbers limit availability and thus increase demand and value. Similarly, cars with low mileage and a good body are favored over those that have seen excessive use.

4. Determine Your Use: If you’re going to be using a classic Alfa Romeo as your daily driver, there is no need to find a mint-condition, show-quality example. If you’re thinking about restoring an Alfa Romeo, finding one with a quality body would take priority over one with your favorite paint color. Narrowing down your use will help you narrow down your search.

5. Inspect and Appraise: As with all big purchases, it is best to have a professional inspect the condition and value of your potential purchase. Look for professionals that specialize in Alfa Romeo classics.
