75 (Type 162) 1985 - 1992

I've owned my Alfa Romeo 75 since 2000! I purchased it for just £1,100 but it needed a bit of mechanical work to get it up to scratch. I bought it as spare car to take the load off a 164 TS I owned at the time as I was doing a fair bit of mileage! 

The car has always been cherished and has recently undergone some essential maintenance to get it up to spec including a new clutch, gearbox rebuild, all new suspension bushing and powder coated components. A misfire was fixed and I sourced a set of 16-inch Speedline alloys which were sympathetically restored. The car is pretty much as good as it can get now. I'm extremely fussy and, following some very poor treatment from a so-called Alfa specialist (who shall remain nameless), the brilliant Wayne Ellett at EMC racing rectified everything to a very high standard.

The car has always been dry stored and it's had a few cosmetic repairs over the years to keep it in top condition. I love the way it drives, handles and feels on the road. It's as tight as a drum and a real head-turner!

I've sourced some very rare replacement parts over the years including new headlights and tailights as well as the 'rare as hen's teeth' rear boot reflector strip and keep a spare just in case!

The car has the upgraded Recaro interior as well as a Momo wooden steering wheel and gear knob. The car gets used and, after a fair bit of time off the road will be used for the occasional track day!

The car is much smarter underneath now having been treated and fitted with reconditioned components along with Koni adjustable shock absorbers

It looks scary but now feels very nice after a full gearbox overhaul and rebuild!

Originally fitted to the 164 Cloverleaf, the 16-inch Speedlines set the car off nicely and really improve the handling!

I just love the lines of the 75. It's not to everyone's cup of tea but it's a very rare sight on the road these days.
