The Alfa Romeo Hall of Fame
For almost 100 years, Alfa Romeo cars have been able to touch the heart of anyone who cares about driving. And when it comes to Alfa Romeo fame, there’s no shortage of celebrated drivers.
Whether it’s Dustin Hoffman in the classic 60’s film ‘The Graduate’, Al Pacino in ‘The Godfather’ or Roger Moore as James Bond in ‘Octopussy’, driving an Alfa Romeo has always been a statement of style and confidence.
The current generation of famous Alfa Romeo drivers in the UK demonstrate all the attributes required to be an Alfista. Read on to find out more...
Comedian Rory Bremner has been an Alfista for 12 years now owning a 1963 Giulia Spider and a more recent Alfa 159 Sportwagon.
Bremner’s Alfa Romeo appreciation runs deep, ‘There are some cars that scream expense and luxury at you, but there is something more elegant and stylish about an Alfa – it’s a kind of quiet pleasure you get from them.’
Home grown international movie star, Dexter Fletcher, 40, added some extra glamour to the streets when he collected his new Alfa Brera recently.
The star of 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' has just completed the movie 'Stardust' opposite Robert De Niro and Michelle Pffeifer in the US.
Dexter said, “I miss driving when I am abroad and crave clocking up some miles in the UK. I am genuinely excited by the Alfa Brera.”
Stunning British music sensation, Katie Melua, 22, is the latest celebrity to be seen behind the wheel of a new Alfa Romeo. Onlookers said the platinum-selling singer looked drop-top gorgeous in her Alfa Spider.
Actress, Tamzin Outhwaite coincidently, played alongside another Alfisti, Dexter Fletcher, as Rebecca in the first two series of the drama Hotel Babylon.
Tamzin recently chose an Alfa Spider and has been spotted out and about enjoying the (limited) British summer with the top down on her Alfa Spider.
Looking gorgeous behind the wheel of her stylish Alfa Brera, actress Claire Goose said, “Owning a brand new car is exhilarating in itself, but when it’s an Alfa Brera it’s a real thrill. It’s just so pretty.”
Movie star, Kris Marshall, 33, recently took ownership of his new Alfa Brera. Kris commented, “I first saw an Alfa Brera on my way home from the theatre and I knew I had to have one. I was genuinely very eager to get behind the wheel. It’s not an obvious choice and that appeals to me. That and its sheer understated cool make it perfect.”
Former Eastenders actor, Nigel Harman said, “I don’t know how Alfa Romeo does it; they just seem to know the secret ingredients to making truly beautiful cars.”
Joel Beckett, actor, collected an Alfa Spider recently, “It takes a lot to turn my head, but the Alfa Spider definitely has it. The team at Alfa Romeo have got it spot on. I just can’t wait to get the roof down on the open road.”
Celebrity chef, Aldo Zilli, is keeping it Italian with his latest acquisition, an Alfa Spider. The Soho restaurateur and chef to the stars, was in no doubt that his latest car should be beautiful and Italian, so headed to Alfa Romeo.
Aldo said, “The Alfa Spider is simply stunning. Just look at it. Who wouldn’t want to be seen driving this? It’s my new toy and I love it.”
James Martin, celebrity chef and presenter of BBC’s Saturday Kitchen, added some Italian flavour to his car collection when he chose a brand new Alfa Brera.
