beautiful all round! always fancied a red 155 on grey rims too, i think they are the closest to the track touring car of all the road going models at the time ie mondeo st's and cav gsi's!
as for those unsure on the TG connection shortest summary i can think of is the guys had to get 3 cheap alfas and trackday them, this was JC's!
will watch this with interest!

A 155 is one of the cars I need to get in the future. My mum had one then blew it up and now curses about it endlessly. 2.5 V6 too, lovely engine before it spat its oil out. Nice collection you have!

Will do a ad for 155 shortly, was just a winter hack and the 75 will be back on the road this week so the 155 can go, not evan washed it since I got it |

She killed a V6 To be fair to her it was bought off a 'shady bloke' and was a bit tired. But yes, she killed a V6, which was then p/x'd for her Mazda 323. Wish I knew the reg so I could find out if it still lives. Had this happened in the last few years I would have bought it off her and rebuilt the engine, but I was a little too young at the time. Your 155 is a thing of beauty! Exactly how I'd have a 155. Good luck with the sale |

Little update... my 155 should be gone on Saturday which means Minty will come off the trailer that he has sat on over the winter, can then sort the trailers flat tyres then use it to scrap whats left of the 145 thats in the garage making space for Minty so I can sort the rear brakes ready for MOT.
