Here she is, its a 1992 1.5 IE in white, whats the exact colour name?

52k Original miles and unmolested apart from a P4 Recaro interior which is superbly comfy and some P4 alloys in need of a Refurb, I have some clear front corners coming for it though, the orange is nasty, it was really clean but the missus drove it this avo for the 1st time and found the only puddle in the country!! Its a beautiful car apart from the bonnet not opening Evil or Very Mad

There is 100% no corrosion on the car anywhere at all, arches, sills, boot lip, fuel filler etc all minty fresh, waxoyled from new, let me know what you think!

Hi,

Very nice.

I like the clean simple look, without the side mouldings on the doors and the 16v big skirts.

The clear indicators will look good, but if it were mine i wouldn't change anything else, and i'd try and get some standard simple alloys. Colour coded bumpers and a boot spoiler etc will spoil it.

It also has the benefit of the wicked nardi steering wheel, an option on early 16vs and fitted to p4s. It's so much better than the standard wheel.

I think the colour is bianco or something.

Engine pics?

Hi,

Just dug out a '93 33 brochure, and by then the white used was just called 'white' -code 210.

They also seem to had dropped 'rosso' in favour of 'red' etc etc!

I guess those romantic italian words might have confused the buyers, who were presumably looking for something different, romantic, sporting and of course italian!!!

That looks very nice! Nice and clean. Looks a bit strange on P4 wheels but that's probably cos i'm only used to seeing them with colour coding and a spoiler! And clear indicators Very Happy

Def need some engine pics.

thanks for the comments guys, the only mod I will be making to it are the clear front indicators, everything else is staying as it is, with the possible exception of some front fogs if I can find any good ones. The steering wheel is amazing and coupled with the Recaros its possibly the most comfy car ive ever had, it fits me perfectly....

Im undecided on the wheels, they need a refurb but are only wearing 185/60s and I would like something a little better, 205/50 15s maybe, are there any genuine Alfa wheels using that tyre?

Some engine pics will be posted when I can finally get my bonnet open! Its got to be one of the cleanest 1500s around, there cant be much better condition ones left!

195/50/15" is ideal replacement for 185/60/14" tires.

205/50/15" is to high, to large tire.
