WHY THIS CAR?

The 156 is not just a classic — it is increasingly a collectible. Walter de Silva's design is cited among the finest saloon shapes of its era. Amazon Green is one of the rarest and most sought-after colours. With 53,600 miles, full history from new, recent cam belt, professional underseal and both keys, this represents the kind of low-mileage, well-documented example that is genuinely hard to find. Do not miss it.
