*** PERM 4x4 NOW FIXED SEE MOST RECENT POST***
Now relisted on ebay for the last time!

Alfa 33 Cloverleaf 16V Permanent 4 (London, Middlesex area)
2 previous owners
White - no rust previously wax oiled
Squadra chip installed
New K & N filter installed (Scorpion spare)
Barely any chipping to alloys
Ultra fast with excellent fuel economy that is testament to the engines condition.
No grinding in any of the gears whatsoever and the clutch is in perfect condition.
12 months MOT - just passed 3 days ago, only front headlamp adjustment was required.
1 months Tax - can renew at cost to the buyer
Private number plate

All work including servicing, which was done about 4 months ago, has been completed by a forum member who knows Alfa 33s inside out. Unfortunately for me this involves traveling from London to Christchurch.

The P4 comes with numerous amounts of spares some new including:
Petrol pump, alternators x 2, brake master cylinder, fuel pump, headlamps, indicators, rear white colour coded bumper in excellent condition, new genuine Alfa P4 back box, etc, etc. I have two crates of P4 spares. I also have a spare P4 gear box and electro magnetic coupling but it will have to be collected from Christchurch.

Note I have very little technical knowledge of these cars as I just can't grasp it (had to get the RAC to change the fan belt recently) hence that is why I have decided to sell. It is highly recommended that the vehicle is inspected and test driven for serious buyers.

Bad bits
After 20 mins driving the 4 x 4 system disengages and 4 x 4 warning light comes on. This has occurred quite recently however, if the P4 does not reach near asking price I will get this fixed.

There is a metallic rattling sound coming from somewhere which has been with the car ever since I had it (approx 1 1/2 years) that is usually heard when traveling over 80mph.

One head lamp washer jet at front is missing but may have a spare somewhere.

Price £1,200 neg. (pictures to follow). Please send a message to my personal email if interested or post through this forum. I can also be contacted at prauguste@hotmail.com.

Forgot to mention that I also have series 3, 33owners manual and P4 supplement.

No offers don't be shy now. I can offer the car only with gear box and viscous coupling (in case you need bits to sort the 4 x 4 system out), else I will fix it up and sell it on ebay.

Hi,

This has now been listed on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250040440899
but let me know when you want to take a look. Thanks

It looks fabulous - I would offer to bid just to get the ball rolling, but I wouldn't want to infringe forum rules. By the way, I see you are in Northolt - I work in Brent Cross, and am often going thru that way. Would you happen to have an o/s fog light lens in amongst all those spares of yours? At some point, if you're not busy, I'd love to drop by for a chat (/drink) and see what parts you've got, if you'd be willing to sell any separately. I need so many bits...! Confused

Ta,
Alex 07714 335219.

PS Good luck with the sale! I hope you set the reserve....

Is there no takers for my P4? If you are concerned about the few faults, I can get these fixed. Any offers as I have a few to many cars at the moment. Amazingly no ones even viewed it yet Crying or Very sad

. See ebay listing within this posting for further details.

Hi,

Thanks for that, I may have to keep it for another year and sell my Saxo instead. The truth is I travel forty miles to and from work and the P4 is not ideal car for long distance motorway driving. Also, I am more into cycling these days and don't need to cars. It drives okay without the 4WD. My problem is a lack of a good maintainer in London; every knowledgeable P4 enthusiast lives to far away Crying or Very sad

Thanks

Have you tried Alfa Aid in Maidenhead? Expensive but absolutely superb and they know virtually everything there is to know about 33s!

The Permanent 4WD was fixed today by Paul Hide, just a faulty tooth mesh sensor, which I had a spare, and under idea conditions would of been a 20 min job. See http://www.alfa-pages.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2802
for a discussion on how Paul fixed the fault with his P4.

My P4 is still for sale at the ebay reserve price of £895 and bundling a few parts as well including an original colour coded bumper but be quick as it is about to be re-listed. PM me or call 07886977675.
