History and ownership cloverleaf

I brought this car from a reputable but none Alfa dealer in the West Midlands in April 2023, it was quite a trek (and two visits) but proved to be well worth it as the car is absolutely beautiful and drives just as well as it looks.  It had two previous owners and had just under 48k mileage in the 6 years of ownership, I suspected by the tyres that the previous owner was not an Alfisti but it had both keys and a decent amount of receipts and stamps in the book to evidence its mileage and service history.  Before purchase I paid for an enhanced V-Car check and all was clear so the car was mine.  First job was to get 4 quality all weather tyres, next job was service, Cam belt and water pump with a local Alfa specialist in nearby Denholme who kindly photographed the various stages for piece of mind.  The car then passed its MOT with flying colours and I've had the paintwork ceramic coated.  So a year on with almost daily use it has only needed a battery and a couple of suspension bearings so I've been pleasantly surprised by the reliability and definitely plan on keeping it becuase it is one of the last small petrol Alfas.  I intend on using it a few times a week and have access to a second car to keep the miles off the Alfa.
