Actor gets a taste for Italian speed in Cheshire.

ACTOR Max Beesley returned to the North West to fulfill his child-like passion for cars when he collected his new Alfa Romeo.

Star of BBC hit series Hotel Babylon, Max is now in the driving seat of an Alfa Romeo Brera 2.2 JTS in Carbonio Black, which he collected from the UK’s largest and longest established Alfa Romeo dealership Mangoletsi, at Knutsford.

Now driving his second Alfa Romeo in less than a year, Max is mesmerised by the Italian marque’s drive appeal and sheer beauty.

After driving an Alfa Romeo Spider 2.2 JTS convertible, Max is now lapping up the stylish Brera, which combines Alfa Romeo’s harmony of exotic design, performance, safety, and exclusivity.

Max said: “The Brera is a beautiful car and the staff here at Mangoletsi are a real friendly bunch. It’s a pleasure to come in and see them, and the fantastic cars.”

Max, an avid Manchester United fan, was back in Manchester filming the BBC remake of the cult classic Survivors and dropped into Mangoletsi between his filming schedule.

“I have always been a Porsche fan but now I’ve been won over by the new range of Alfa Romeo models - I love them. Maybe when I hit a mid-life crisis I’ll get a Porsche again,” joked Max.

He added: “The new Alfa Romeo 8C is amazing, I’d love to get behind the wheel of that – it’s a monster.”
