    Default Your first Alfa.

    Down to the fact that a car in the garage is labelled as "My 1st 155" or something similar, what was your first Alfa?

    Mine was a 1993 Alfa 155 2.0L 8v in black. M570 CLM if I remember correctly. Wonder if its still going?

    P357 SMR - 2.0 16v in Nero 601 - now scrapped or probably close to it!

    I was pretty happy having that at 19 - I put a lovely sound system in and it was a great all round car. Then only about 10 months later the Q4 turned up!

    Lucky bugger, at 19 i was driving around in one of these.


    Still it was reliable and free, so I can't really complain. And like you I put a big sound system in it, unfortunately probably worth more than the car.

    The reg on my current 155 is M211 CLM!

    My first 155 was an R reg Champers. I think it was R192 FEU, or something like that...

    Family's first Alfa was a white 75 1.6 trofeo.
    After that, the green 155 came to our lifes, April 1994.

    My first own car and Alfa was an 33 1.3S from 1991

    I only have pictures of how the car ended

    Then I bought the 155 Q4

    You'll know this car by now

    Next to the Q4 I also had a couple of different 155's.
    The 1.6 16V (1), 1.8 8V(3), 2.0 8V (2), Savali 3.1 V6 12V (1), 1.8 16V (2) and another Q4 in the last ten years. Also had a couple of 75's, with 1.8 8V nord engine. Got do I miss them. And had another 33 16V which drove like a go kart
    In a world full of compromise...
    ...some don't.

    Hello!

    My first Alfa Romeo (and first car also) was a Alfasud Sprint Q.V., Year 1983 in grey. This was 1991 and 3 years later I was not able to lift the car for the changement of tyres because the jack went into the body.

    A 33 16V followed...
    1 Year later a 33 P4

    Best regards, Martin

    I owned a P4 for a short period of time, only got rid of it as I couldn't transport it down here. Even though it was a little bit tired it still went well and handled like a go-kart.

    Be nice to have another one at some point.

    Was it one of the widebodied 8v or did they only do that with the 1.8? Can't remember now.
