Alfa Romeo has expanded its Classiche programme with two new heritage services based at the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, further strengthening the site’s role as the centre of the marque’s historic operations.
The new additions allow owners of historic Alfa Romeos to both collect restored vehicles directly from the museum and undertake Certification of Authenticity inspections on site, rather than exclusively through the Officine Classiche facility in Turin.
Since opening in 2015 within Turin’s historic Mirafiori industrial district, the Officine Classiche workshop has become responsible for the restoration and certification of both Alfa Romeo’s own collection and privately owned cars. Under the revised programme, collectors completing restoration work can now choose to take delivery of their car at Arese through a dedicated handover ceremony.
Two delivery packages are being offered, consisting of a basic option – which includes transportation to the museum, a dedicated handover area and access to the museum’s test track – while the premium package adds guided tours, meetings with restoration technicians and bespoke video content documenting the process.
Alongside the restoration handovers, Alfa Romeo is also moving part of its Certification of Authenticity operation to Arese. Owners can now have vehicles inspected directly at the museum by Alfa Romeo Classiche specialists, with technical and photographic reports used to verify originality and historic specification.
The Classiche programme itself continues to centre around three core services: Certification of Origin, Certification of Authenticity and full restoration work.
The announcement also coincides with an important anniversary for the museum itself, which opened in 1976. It was extensively redeveloped ahead of the launch of the modern Giulia in 2015, with a collection that includes everything from the early A.L.F.A. 24 HP through to Formula 1 machinery driven by Juan Manuel Fangio, Mille Miglia racers and Autodelta competition cars.
