Bit daft of me but I never realised these came in anything other than clown shoe M Coupe style.
Only in LHD. 2.8 to start with and then the lovely 3.0 M54 'facelift' with clear lenses and updated interior buttons. Only a thousand or so made in that colour. Looks so good with the red Nappa..

For some reason that makes me miss the old SAAB 9000 Aero.
The Saab shared a lot with the larger Alfa 164 which has a very similar appearance to the 155. I personally think the 155 is the best looking of the 80s/90s Alfas. My favourite is still the 75 though, since it was one of the last cars Alfa did on their own.

I like the purple and the interior, but not sure they're a good match imo. I think if you go extreme in one colour the other should be toned down a bit.

I would actually buy that! sadly the engine will be only around 60-70 bhp which for the time, would be super fast in a car which no doubt weighs around 500kgs tops.

Would be nice to upgrade the engine in it to something around 150bhp though.................
