Knutsford-based Alfa Romeo dealer Mangoletsi has sold the UK’s first £111,000 8C Competizione.

The dealer sold the first of just 41 of the Competizione two-seater cars coming to the UK, all of which have been pre-ordered.

Fraser Hudson, managing director of Mangoletsi, is taking the 8C's new owner to Italy to collect the car from the Alfa Romeo factory and drive it around the Alfa test track.

Hudson said: "It’s extremely exciting to be handing over the Competizione to the first owner in the UK. This is one of the most exclusive cars that Alfa has produced and everyone who sees it is amazed by its beauty."
