WilkesyMB6 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Alfa 155 ftw had a soft spot for these for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roylewaa Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Yeah I loved that car, bought it off a mate for £500, I took it in for a pre mot (as it only had a short test) and discovered it was rotton as a pear underneath with a split running across the width of the car under the front seats, the garage didnt even want me to drive it home it was that dangerous, they agreed in the end as long as a mechanic followed me home slowly, it went through the auctions as a scrapper and sold for £175, the wheels were probably worth more than that as they were rare, and it had a full powerflow s/s exhaust on that cost £250 which was only on the car 3 months. I always wondered how the exhaust fitters never noticed the state of it underneath I'm always on ebay looking to see if any turn up, but they're either spares or repairs or silly money now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roylewaa Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Yeah it was a shame as I loved the car, went really well and handled superbI did ponder having it all welded up but it was too far gone, and it needed a few jobs doing on the engine, cam variator (I think) as it sounded like a diesel sub 2k rpmsfew more pics of it, ahh memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
