It's a great example of the top version of the 147 to come out of the factory and very likely the highest specification and the best prepared 147 GTA 3.2 V6 now available in the UK. The car was built from the basis of an excellent condition low mileage car, between me. To be very well set up for track day use, while still being entirely usable as a daily driver on the road. More important than the destination and was a process they both enjoyed.

They are both Italian car experts. A car enthusiast of 50 years standing and have been doing track days for the last 20 years here and in Australia. Though I used to do my own work on my cars, I've now retired from that. Tweaks have been done by my local trusted mechanic who.

Gearbox, which can be left in full auto or can be driven as a. Manual, with a simple flick of the gear lever. Changes are smooth and quick. This version of the semi-auto is not to be confused with the version used in the Twin Spark. It is infinitely superior to that version, sharing technology with Ferraris etc.

I mostly leave it in auto on the road because that's nice and lazy and smooth, and use the gear lever on track, which results in faster changes exactly when I want them and with d. Own-changes accompanied by a blip of the throttle for perfect rev-matching every time with no need for the driver. The car has only done 2,500 miles since. From the major upgrade, which were mostly in 2023.

Costs of parts below are what they are known to have actually. Are the current prices for the same items, or are my estimates.

My estimate of labour costs. Intake and exhaust (see below) now sound epic. Know the car is coming before they can see it. The quality of the sound that sets it apart, and not the volume. T road speeds and at normal throttle openings and revs.

So the full tread width meets the road. Prevents premature or lopsided wear on the edges of your tires, extending their lifespan. Ensures the car tracks straight without wandering, pulling to one side, or requiring constant steering corrections. Improves turn-in precision and overall steering feel. Reduces rolling resistance, allowing better car performance. Ensures the car behaves identically and predictably whether you are turning left or right. Prevents sudden drops in traction, wheel spin on driven wheels, or single-wheel.

Erratic understeer or oversteer tendencies at the limit, making the chassis feel transparent and balanced. Quaife limited slip differential (LSD). A Quaife ATB limited slip differential relies on gears, rather than. Clutch plates for its operation.

It never locks harshly and is silent. On FWD cars a Quaife Differential reduces understeer.

It works on heavy braking and deceleration too, moving traction away from a slipping wheel. This allows you to brake later into the corners. Quaife LSDs work with the electronic traction control and anti-lock braking systems, delaying their. And improving the driving experience by helping limit. And seamless in action, never locking.

Maximised traction and minimal wheelspin, particularly in slippery conditions. Reduced torque steer, understeer and/or oversteer.

But they can't help but to have increased power and torque somewhat. Feel free to arrange a session on a rolling road to confirm power and torque levels and the revs at which they occur. Collection is from Fleetwood in Lancashire.

If you absolutely must have this car but. Must have it with a manual gearbox and a manual clutch, this can also be arranged. Pay for the car and for the conversion as stated below.
