“Alfa Romeo is going through a key phase in its history. The historical period we are going through is a genuine evolution.

Certificate of Authenticity: Alfa Romeo will review the detail and refinements of an individual car and verify its production data and technical specifications in the company archives. Specialists the Heritage department will then certify the authenticity of the car, highlighting its value. To obtain this certification each car goes through a rigorous inspection and evaluation process which is carried out by the specialized team, verifying the authenticity of the car and its components and the functioning of the main mechanical parts. The vehicle can be examined at the Officine Classiche in Mirafiori, at the customer’s home (globally) or at the Stellantis & You sales and service dealership in Rome and Palermo.

Restoration service: Furthermore, the same team that takes care of Stellantis’ historical collection is available to private clients, with services ranging from simple maintenance to complete restoration: from diagnosis to exterior restoration, repair of individual mechanical and aesthetic components and final testing.
