What size are they? They'll definately look goos on your 155. Might look good on your 33 too! Deep dish right?

They are 17", not deep dish but look like it a bit. I'm going to get the spokes of the chrome wheels currently on the 155 painted black and leave the dish chrome, i just cant fully get used to the full chrome wheel look, soooo used to seeing the car with black ones.

Nice looking car Alex, may have to come and have a look...
Not as blue as I had expected though,may be the light but it looks almost black.

Nice. Haven't seen one in that colour before.

Is it a keeper Alex or are you moving it on?

I'll try to put some better pics on that better show the colour. If you want to see it Ian then be quick as I've already sold it, new owner is picking it up Wed. Lee I really want to keep it as its so rare but I can't coz of space. My son prefers it to my 155! (I think that's a good thing).

Hi, beautiful and elegant this 33.

I'm not sure but It seams a rare version of '93
(the one with 3 bolts anterior strut suspension
and better quality plastic materials on the interior,
that resist more to sun irradiation without to fade)
that in Italy was called 'Absolute' and may be in England
was called 'Turismo' (if I read right the sticker on your photo)
That particular blue Cool was one of the typical colors of that version,
In practice it was a 1.7 i.e. full optional (clima, check control, four speakers)
with wooden gear knob and steering wheel (I think it was standard
size 38 cm and not 36 cm like the one of the Q4 but was nice).
In Italy usually was without the rear wing, may be optional,
you can see some images on internet searching 33 absolute.

Very nice catch!

Yes you are right with the level of spec, 4 speakers, wooden wheel ect, it s badged up Torismo. The colour is the rarest thing about it, vertually no 33's in this country were blue, there was an Alfa speaciallist in Birmingham called Mario Diotti (or something like that) who used to import Guliettas, he said in order to get 1 in blue you had to order a 1.8 turbo model, it would arrive in this country without the turbo fitted & without all it's import paperwork, then you would have to send it back to Italy to have the turbo fitted before they would complete all the paperwork! but only on the blue ones??? vary strange, a similar story with the blue 75's too.
This is one of 5 blue 33's to arrive in this country, i love it. Very Happy
