It’s a 1995 145 1.6 Boxer in bottle green & green cloth interior. It’s a basic spec model, with no ABS or central locking. Registered in Edinburgh and with its first owner for 20 years. I bought it as it’s only in 18500 miles with documented history & lots of paperwork. There are a number of jobs to do, including a full respray at some point but I’m looking forward to restoring this little time capsule. The boxer engined 145 joins my 147 GTA… two extremes. Basic & poverty spec (only metallic paint was added) vs the fully loaded 147. -------------------- Currently: 2004 Alfa Romeo 147 3.2 GTA in Black 1995 Alfa Romeo 145 1.6 Boxer in Green Previously: 2005 156 Sportwagon 1.9 JTD in Black 2003 156 in 1.

Never seen one in this green before. Great buy! Yeah it’s a pretty unique colour with a pretty unique engine these days. Had 4x new Pirelli tyres fitted today - the rear drivers side was probably on its original as it was a P3000 which I don’t think they’ve made for at least 15 years? -------------------- Currently: 2004 Alfa Romeo 147 3.2 GTA in Black 1995 Alfa Romeo 145 1.6 Boxer in Green Previously: 2005 156 Sportwagon 1.9 JTD in Black 2003 156 in 1.

Looks so mint! Keep good care of it. It’s going to be one of the unicorns in the next fee years…
