not quite finished IMO, needs the spoiler, speed line wheels and the interior is too "luxurious". Not bad for that money, would love to drive that on the queens highway.

Tarquini, Larini, Simone and Bartels raced LHD, they had no problem so neither should I

....sorta...........slightly imbalanced comparison there Adam....IF you don't mind me saying so.......

[GransportFan1]

nope not at all, totally agree

Adam, I like that.......

It is not bad, however, this is how it is done, saw this beauty at Oulton Park earlier this year.

Adam that is a very nice car. Alfas seem to stand up better to the test of time than when they are new.

My brother and I met tonight and were in the pub looking at the Internet to see what forgotten beauties we could find for a cheap bit of summer fun. We concluded that Lancia fitted the bill. Such a shame the brand is decimated now, they had such a history.

Have a search round EBay and see what you can find, some real beauts out there.

Have to agree Matt, i really do like the shape of the 155, it is boxy but a lot of cars from the 90's were. When i stumbled accross this i could not believe it, a project i fantasised about doing and seeing a real life creation, it made me want a 155 even more, wish i had met the owner as i would havd asked loads of questions.

Your right, there are so many interesting cars out there, that Fulvia you have picked out is a stunner, and the colour, well it certainly gets the nod from me. Fulvia was the first car to have a V4 engine, makes a very unique sound.
As i am now on holiday if you like, been looking at the classifieds myself, had my on Alfa 156 GTA's, Giulia Coupe's like Franks, also had a look at the 1500 Super, really like those, look so much fun.

There is a lot of really interesting stuff out there for sensible (sub 10k) money.

If you want a cheap reliable Alfa have a look at the old Spiders, loads about and classic insurance too although I believe you have to be 21 to qualify. Just get a rust free one.

 

[GransportFan1]

That is what i will do, although i think for some classic policies you can be 19. I like the old Spider but it is not my fave classic Alfa, would rather a 1500 Super or Giulia or AlfaSud TI.

To qualify for classic insurance, the car has to be 15 years old.

Alfasud now there's commitment. Great drivers car by all accounts but not many about due to the terrible reputation for rust.

Matt, that is a beauty .... one of my fav classic cars......Lancia was goig to re make it a few yesrd back with a lovely retro looking modern car...Not sure what happened to that....

Saw that on the 146 forum I happened across when searching for 155 DTM reps.......Not sure about th spoiler it seems a bit Richard Grant...Would want to add one that looked as close to the racer as possible.......Oh, and being piccy...Needs to be red.....

 

[GransportFan1]

The spoiler is not a DTM style no, i would change that but the body kit is spot on, i would also want one in Red.

Matt, my Dad had 2 AlfaSud's back in the day, one was great and the other was a pile of........ they are a nice looker but like you say, they suffer from rust very bad.

 

[Andyk]

I must keep an eye open for a 155 DTM rep Adam.....One thats finished...Let me know if you see one before me........

 

[GransportFan1]

There will not be many knocking around Andy, i only know of 4, 3on Alfa Owner, 1 has a Fiat Coupe 20V turbo unit, the other is an exact Tarquini rep and the other is an in progress car and the 4th is the black one pictured.
