COVID-19 Coronavirus Message Updated: 8th July
Mail Order Customers:
  * Our carrier DHL is operating near normally across the world. Allow an extra day for delivery (2 days for Australia, 6 days for New Zealand), just in case. However, regular international postal services can have additional delays, and are not recommended for anything required within 6 weeks.
  * For the UK only, Royal Mail are delivering the vast majority of orders on time according to our data, but is experiencing higher levels of staff absences, so there may some local delays.
  * We will be working normally and have a large warehouse full of parts that will help keep your car on the road. However, we are beginning to see supply delays from factory lockdowns around the world.
Workshop Customers:
  * Following government guidance, we are open as usual. Taking your vehicle to a garage for repairs is a permitted activity (safety) as long as you observe the social distancing rules. We have strict social distancing processes internally and disinfect daily (not least because we have staff in vulnerable groups). In the circumstances, we have had to close our waiting room. Our mechanics wear gloves at all times and we will disinfect your vehicle with our Zaflora sprays on handing back to you. We would respectfully ask you to show our staff the same courtesy. We also have full amount contactless payment systems.
  * MOTs due for renewal from 30th March to 31st July will be extended for six months. However, you are still legally obliged to keep your vehicle in a safe and roadworthy condition, so if you need to use your car in this period, it is still strongly recommended to get one done.

Alfa Brera Spider


The New Alfa Romeo Spider was launched at the Geneva Motor Show at the beginning of March 2006, however there was a private showing at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concourse D'Elegance.

The spider shares the same chassis as the Brera, known as the "premium platform" or type 939, this was developed in conjunction with GM and is also used on the 159 although with a longer wheel base. The Brera Spider when originally launched had the choice of the new 185 bhp 2.2 litre JTS engine or the 3.2 litre V6 24 valve 260 bhp engine but in 2007 the 2.4 litre 20 valve diesel was added to the range. Both the petrol engines are direct injection with both inlet and exhaust cam shafts having variable timing. The 2.2 litre engine has a 6 speed gearbox while the V6 has Alfa Romeo’s Q4 four wheel drive system which is tuned to give the car a distinct rear wheel drive feel.

Suspension is double wishbone at the front with a wide upper wishbone, while the rear has got a multi link arrangement. Accommodation is much improved on the last model spider, with considerably more luggage space and the Spider comes with a pair of neat titanium coloured aerodynamic roll over hoops.

Styling follows along the same lines as the Brera with aggressive front lights and a deep front grill, while the rear has distinct echo’s of the 1960's Alfa Romeo GTC and the four exhausts give the car a distinctively sporting air.
