Alfa 145 Cloverleaf

[norman156]

Bought my self this little bargain as a bit of a snotter, but due to my other car actually working again quicker than expected it'll be sold very soon, which is a shame as it's an absolute riot to drive! Still undecided on the looks, as with most Alfas of this vintage they are a bit marmite.

I think it looks good - you could do much worse for the money paid, I'm sure.

Great choice. I had one a few years back which was a hoot to drive. Great noise too for a four cylinder. The only downside was that the handbrake froze on whenever it was frosty. Lovely underrated cars though.

Ah happy memories - under the car, with a super-soaker full of boiling water unfreezing the cable

A great car which is unbeatable value at the moment.

I can only agree - really miss our old one, they are great fun

I'll (sadly) only have mine another few weeks, so I don't think I'll be experiencing this issue! Agreed on the engine, I knew the twin sparks were good but it's an absolute cracker. I'm used to good sounding 4 pots (Mercedes 190 cosworth) but I was surprised by how good this one sounds.

The Twin Sparks do sound really nice, particularly when pushing on. This looks a lot of car for the money.

[Celt]

The car certainly grown on people. A guy in my work had one and it really grew on me. Alot more ineresting than a corsa, punto, polo... of the same vintage!

That looks great!
I had two 145 Cloverleafs and loved them to bits

Oh yes happy memories of my 145 cloverleaf.
A great car can't believe it's over 10 years ago now.
