THE Alfa Romeo 147 has made an impressive auction debut, with low mileage, X-plate models retaining about 90% of their list price. The cars went under the hammer in a special sale held at BCA Nottingham, after a Used Car Conference for Alfa Romeo dealers hosted by the auction centre.

John Chater, Used Car Manager for Alfa Romeo said: 'The debut 147 models achieved prices that were in line with our own high expectations.'
