Alfa Romeo Brera S Autodelta for sale

Limited edition Prodrive version was already peak Brera - a 350hp Autodelta conversion is the cherry on top

Earlier this month we drew your attention to a very lovely looking GT 1300 Junior that had been coxed to something like perfection via the guiding influence of Alfaholics and Ian Ellis, famed UK-based tuners of the very Italian 105 Series cars (among others). That theme, of British firms shrewdly perfecting Alfa’s handiwork, continues with this very lovely looking Brera S, claimed by the vendor to be the final such car sold in this country.

That would make it the final Brera S sold anywhere, of course, because the model was only made available here; it being a 500-example limited edition specifically tailored to the fickle desires of the British enthusiast. And because it was Prodrive doing the tailoring, Alfa got its money’s worth and the nation’s customers suddenly had the option of a sharper and noticeably sweeter Brera.

But while Prodrive saw to the chassis with Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers, it did not fix the GM-sourced 3.2-litre V6, which blithely continued with its mostly inadequate impression of a Busso, despite outputting 260hp. Happily, one of the previous four owners of this Brera fixed that issue with Autodelta’s J5 3.2 C conversion, the ‘C’ standing for ‘Compressore’ - which refers to the Rotrex C30-94 supercharger doing all the hard graft.

The result, it’s fair to say, ought to be no less transformative than Prodrive’s earlier efforts. You can expect just shy of 350hp according to the tuner, and, no less importantly, 317lb ft of torque where previously there was 237lb ft. On paper, this translates to around 5-ish seconds to 60mph and a top speed of 160mph; on the road, we like to think you finally get a car that not only lives up to Prodrive’s concept of what the Brera could be, but also one that better fills out its Giugiaro design.

If that weren’t enough, the 33k mileage suggests this car has been treated to the kind of sparing use that befits its last-of-the-line status, and looks great (as they always do) in Touring Grey. Granted, if you think modern trappings important, the Brera’s cabin will seem to have aged more like vinegar than fine wine - and presumably the V6’s appetite for unleaded has not backwards - but let’s not forget the car was never properly replaced after 2010, abruptly bringing down the curtain on Alfa’s idea of a 2+2 coupe.

Probably you’ll need to think that a great shame, otherwise the £18,995 asking price is going to seem like a sticking point. After all, it was only two years ago that a 3.2 featured as Shed of the Week. But the S is a rare old bird before you get to the presence of a supercharger beneath the bonnet - and we can’t be the only ones who think the spectacle of a V6-powered Brera an itch worth scratching in 2026. Especially when it’s been brought up to snuff by some blokes in a British industrial unit…
