Does anyone on here own N654GWP 2.0 TS or N656XMO 2.5 V6

Both my old cars - Would like to buy either back if possible if they are in similar condition as how I sold them.

The 2.0 was sold in 2004 and the V6 in 2006.

Failing the above, I would like to find a good car to buy and keep.

I would have a Silverstone but referably a later wide bodied car with the sport pack incl. dark speedlines.not bothered which engine 1.8 8v to Q4.

Rosso Alfa or Proteo Red.

As this is a keeper I don't mind if the car needs a bit of TLC.

Thanks,

Simoni

You sure the first one isn't 564GWP...'cos that's what's on my list, although 654 is showing up on DVLA as a possible?

Your second car is currently owned by one of the chaps on 155.org, he's literally only just bought it from one of the other guys on there, so might not be interested in selling just yet frown

This was taken just before I sold the 2.0 in 2004 when I swapped it for the Integrale

The V6 (XMO) was owned by a chap that came to look at my Dad's 155 V6 he had from new (N755 WAL - Nero) He didn't buy my dad's car he bought XMO instead in 1998. He kept the car until 2006. I tried to buy XMO in 2001 off him but he wouldn't sell and put me onto his friend that sold me the 2.0 (GWP).

I ended up buying the V6 XMO for £1500 in April 2006 off the guy who bought it in 98. I didn't really want to buy it but fealt obliged as I'd known the car for so long.

I ended up keeping it for 1 month in which time I set about making it like my 2.0. Silverstone lip, Squadra Chip, Pipercross, Full Exhaust with De Cat, Konis ect.

I sold the car to a mate who kept it for around a year and lost touch since then.

Maybe you could pass this on to the owner of XMO on the 155 forum, some history for him at least.



Here is V6 N656XMO at Silverstone in July 2006 just after all the mods were done - Made mince meat of a guy in an NSX !!!

Has the sound of my GTV growling past your house every few days got the old Alfa thirst going for you again? wink

The Alfa thirst will always be there Pete. For how much a 155 costs I think its worth buying one just to keep.

The best Touring car of my childhood

I owned this car around 18 months ago and recently spotted it (2 weeks ago) being driven on the Epsom by-pass. Will try and post a few photos if I can. For the time I owned it - 3 weeks for an event, it could only be described as stunning in every aspect! Alan

Here are few clips from Cadwell chasing scoobies and sounding great!

Good Pics Alan - Thanks for that. The engine was rebuilt by an Ex Touring Car mechanic at 60k and it went like stink after it was rebuilt for me.

Great Car !!!
