Alfa romeo 75 1.8 turbo QV (Italian Import)

[PeterGadsby]

Hi just a quick message.... Over the weekend at a car auction at Ascot race course, I bought my wife a classic Alfa Romeo

It's an Italian import into the UK special edition Alfa Romeo 75 QV 1.8 turbo LHD.

Some issues, as it hasn't been driven for 7-8 years, so will need some work, but so far it's a lot of fun :-)

Loving those arches. Not a car I profess to know a lot about but it sounds special. Nice 👍

Very nice car indeed, I have a 105 coupe but would definately like a 75 they are very underrated and the turbo, very nice, certainly not a boring car...

Lovely.

Thanks all, it is very rare, I think only single digit number of cars in the UK it was an Italian special edition, so has a number plaque on the dashboard.

My wife is now officially a petrolhead as she owns the car :-)

Looks familiar, I’m sure I’ve worked on that in the last year or so. Good solid car that one!

I recognise it as well - i think that one had a blown turbo and was on ebay around 4 years ago.

Nice car OP, I am slightly obsessed with Alfa and Lancia turbo-engined cars! Alfa 155 Q4, Lancia HF turbo, Integrale etc
