Presented in Nero metallic with a grey and black interior, this smartly presented Alfa Romeo 155 Twin Spark is an excellent example of the handsome Italian saloon that successfully combined sporting pedigree with everyday usability.
First registered in 1995, this car has evidently been well cared for, showing just over 100,000 miles and supported by a comprehensive service history that includes numerous Alfa Romeo dealer and specialist entries. The accompanying service booklet, invoices and MOT certificates attest to careful, regular maintenance over nearly three decades, with recent servicing ensuring it remains in fine mechanical order.
The car is powered by Alfa’s free-revving 2.0-litre Twin Spark engine paired to a five-speed manual gearbox — a lively combination that delivers the balance and character for which the marque is renowned. A few tasteful and reversible enhancements, including OMP front and rear strut braces, performance air intake and Speedline-style alloy wheels, contribute to the car’s purposeful stance and improved handling.
The 155 remains a cult favourite among Alfa enthusiasts, its crisp lines recalling Alfa Romeo’s touring car successes of the 1990s. This example offers an opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, enthusiast-owned car that represents an increasingly desirable modern classic.
