the "not retro" Alfa 75 replacement

Yep, 156 is very nicely styled, I much prefer it to the new blander replacement.

OK so its not retro but is hella better than any alternative Euro boite.

one of my face styled modern cars! looks great but there is mod potential.

I really like the styling of the 156, and they're a nice drive too! Does it have those funky red LED display type thingies on the dash centre console?

Good luck finding another 75! Have you considered anything else for your next retro, should a good 75 not come up?

156s are wonderful cars. My wife bought one last year - it's covered 115k miles in total, 15k in our hands. So far, the only costs have been tyres, brake pads and an aircon pipe / recharge.

They're *almost* getting retro, as early ones are now nearly 10 years old...... nice to see you got the favoured pre-facelift version which looks more 'pure' than the 159-alike later model.

Much as I like the 156, I prefer the 75 as a drivers car, which is why I've kept it.

Good luck with the search, but good 75s are rare these days - took me months to find mine - it's 'good' but not anything special.

If you find one with a dodgy gearbox, I have 2 in the back of my garage waiting to be stripped for parts to build a good one!
