MERIDIEN Milano in Portsmouth has helped Alfa Romeo UK to achieve its highest sales figures since 2003, with total sales for 2009 up by a massive 52 per cent on 2008.

According to the latest statistics from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), the Italian sporting marque substantially boosted its annual sales from 5,950 to 9,067 units, and against the backdrop of a declining UK car market, Alfa Romeo has enjoyed substantial growth in the past year.

Alfa Romeo sales success in 2009 has been accelerated by strong demand for the stylish new Alfa MiTo with more than 6,000 sold since its launch in January 2009. The Alfa GT, 159, Brera and Spider have also contributed to the increased sales figures.
