and turn it into this, i would love it,

I think the 155 is my fav touring car along with the e30 M3....

The car for sale looks good to Adam but for me I would aim for a wide body one.

 

[GransportFan1]

yes but wasn't the wide body only on the 2.0? I want a V6.

You said it andy

E30 m3 and 155 my fav touring cars

 

[GransportFan1]

Yep they are the best, the Alfa is at number one though, it is the only non german car to win the DTM, in 1993 when Larini drove the 155, he won 10/20 races and finished 57 points ahead of Roland Asch in his Mercedes, the Alfa 155 was the king and still is. The 90's was the best for DTM and BTCC.

Was it not tarquini

 

[GransportFan1]

nope Larini raced in the dtm, tarquini raced in the btcc.

the 155 was not a replacement for the 75...the 75 was made to celebrate 75 years for alfa and i dont htink it was made for long....

Actually the 155 was the 75's successor. The 75 was made from 86 till 92 in many different configurations. From 1.6 4 cilinder to 3.0 V6 (great, great engine) Also some Evo's were made and some IMSA's for the touringcar championship. Dutch guy Bob van der Sluis drove one in the historic series. Unbelievable what a monster that was...matt black, mean and he drove it like the Devil himself...

Saw Tarquini in the 155 at Donnington...

 

[GransportFan1]

did you see him go on 2 wheels?

 

[dem maser]

so it was a replacement?? wow never knew that....so the 164 came out same time as the 155 then

 

[Andyk]

Yep it did Dem....Remember goping to see a new 155 and they had a ne 164 Cloverleaf in the garage at the same time.

 

[dem maser]

164 is a good car also....

 

[GransportFan1]

i never warmed to the 164

 

[Andyk]

Its a car from my past that I always wanted...Drive a 3l and the torque steer was shocking...

 

[dem maser]

i do like them....

 

[GransportFan1]

the 164 cl was a great car apparantly.

 

[Andyk]

It was and still is if you can find a good one which is hard these days.

 

[dem maser]

best bargain buy for a fmaily car is the 166.....

 

[GransportFan1]

with the 3.0 dem, oh and make sure it is a red one, they look lovely in red.

 

[Andyk]

I do think a red 164 with the black around the bottom is lovely...
