Alfa Romeo 155 v6

[beautifulbusso]

So after moving on the 90, I've ended up with another Alfa naturally!

This one is known in the Alfa circles as DOL and has just been chucked through for an MOT as she currently does not have one.

It appears that she also has some choice upgrade, including a thicker rear arb, koni/eibach suspension combo, ragazzon catback and the 4 pot Bremen upgrade.

Love it! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine!

Superb, 155's look great IMO, would love one.

Well she's a 96 wide body, so wider front track and body work. I've more a less known the car for a good 8 years, so know exactly what the car is etc.

She's been off the road since 2013/2014 so there is a bit of work which needs doing, but nothing major as she is completely solid ... No rust what so ever!!

I'll get some more pics once she's back with a full years mot

Better hurry as not many left now, only 24 v6's are on the road excluding mine!!

With apologies to "slammedorion", this could be my new favourite Readers Car.

Mate had a Q4 155 some years ago, red with white OZ wheels. Always preferred the V6, at least its RHD!

absolutely amazing car imho, a v6 155 is very high on my want list, although itll probably never happen

These are really rather nice. I bought a red one for buttons a few years ago, mainly because I couldn't bear to see it scrapped (the sale was heading in that direction....). It has been very reliable, the only real problem was a duff connector on the fuel pump which left me stranded a couple of times until it left me stranded with:

1) A full set of dealer manuals on the back seat
2) A very comprehensive tool kit in the boot....

Took about 30 minutes to pin the problem down.

They are surprisingly quick, handle nicely and the brakes are excellent when in good order. They also look the mutts if you're into 90s straight lines (I am...). The 12v is a different beast to the 24v, but makes more than enough power for the car. 16" wheels are good, 15s are a bit "rolly-poly".

I need to change the cambelt this year, which will involve a bit of a search for parts...

Looks nice, I always wanted a 155 but never found the right one.

[beautifulbusso]

So she will be all mot'd and ready for the weekend, around 3yrs since she last saw regular duties!!

My plans for her are pretty simple though, give her a good machine polish, repaint the calipers as they are faded like mad! I'll be keeping the no spoiler look and I might fit a decat but not too sure about that yet.

I had a brand new metallic purple widebody 1.8 16v as a co.car. It was so st in so many ways... I loved it. Definitely the best thing about that job...

They're still magnificent looking things and they'll always have touring car cool to add to the mix.

I hope the remaining ones on the road are all picked up by Alfaholics and restored/kept in good nick. Would be a shame to lose them off the roads.
