View MoreOur Take:
- Rare Japanese Import: The Alfa Romeo 156 is a gem on the roads, especially in North America where it wasn’t originally sold. The fact that this one is a Japanese import adds an exotic flair to its already unique Italian design. It’s like discovering a rare Italian espresso machine in a corner café in Tokyo—unexpected yet delightful.
- Sel-e-speed Transmission: Let's talk about this Selespeed system—Alfa Romeo’s version of a semi-automatic transmission, combining the thrill of manual control with the convenience of an automatic. While not as famous as Ferrari’s F1 system, it serves the same purpose of giving you that race-car driver feeling. But hey, with great power comes... quirky maintenance.
- Fuel Pressure Quirkiness: A project car with a minor hiccup in the fuel system might sound daunting, but it’s a rite of passage for many enthusiasts. Think of it as getting acquainted with your car’s personality—after all, these Alfas are known for their character! Replacing the fuel pressure regulator with an OEM part could well be the key to unlocking those joyous Italian driving thrills.
- Low Mileage and Mint Condition: Only driven 52,000 km, this Alfa Romeo 156 is practically a time capsule. Finding a 17-year-old car in such pristine shape is like stumbling upon a first edition in a dusty old bookstore. With its sleek design and minimal wear, it’s a perfect mix of nostalgia and potential.
