Classic Alfa for Sale

The Alfa Romeo bug is alive and well in Japan with loads of clubs and specialist dealers devoted to the marque although that statement is rather contradicted by the sparse number of classic or rare Alfa's that are currently on the market.

Below are some that i have found that may be of interest. It is notable that the RZ and SZ series found particular popularity over here and enjoyed brisk sales of new and later used imports from abroad.

Kyowa Motors of Hyogo have this series 2 1974 2000cc Alfa Romeo Spider in red and is described as having never been driven in the rain. The car is totally original and has only covered 35,000km. Asking price is 2,680,000 JPY

Interesting dealer Jiron Auto who run a classic shop alongside their multiple franchise dealer have a 1995 red Alfa RZ, production no 214 that has so far only achieved a minuscule 20,200 km. Price is available on request.

They also have a rather attractive series 2 1979 2000cc Spider finished in white which is ever a popular colour for all things in Japan. Mileage is checked at 26,200km. Chassis no AR115410006688. Price is a not unreasonable 1,580,000 JPY or about the same price as a new Daihatsu Copen.

Appia of the beautiful city of Kyoto are currently in possession of a very classic looking 1973 Alfa Romeo 1600 GTJ in silver and with unconfirmed mileage although the condition looks very acceptable. Car is RHD indicating it may be an original Japan car. A recent engine overhaul has recently been done as well as new shock absorbers put in place. Price is available on request.

Toy Car Land of centrally based Shiga Prefecture offer for sale this unashamed 1996 Alfa RZ in yellow. The car has covered a respectable 40,500km and the advertisement stresses that the car is in exceptional condition and has recently undergone a timing belt change. Price is available on request.

The gem of this bunch has to be Wing corporation of Tochigi Prefecture's Alfa Romeo coupe version of the beautiful Giulietta. The car is a 1964 example and has achieved a mileage of 82,000 km. Finished in a very appropriate dark red (although it is not clear if this is the original colour as the car has been repainted) and being extensively restored throughout, including a complete engine overhaul, the price is naturally available on request.
