The Alfa Romeo 155, a distinctive and often overlooked saloon in the marque's history, emerged in the early 1990s as a replacement for the venerable 75. Breaking from Alfa's traditional rear-wheel-drive architecture, the 155 embraced a front-wheel-drive platform shared with Fiat, a move that initially raised eyebrows among purists but ultimately proved its mettle on the track. It became a touring car legend, dominating championships like the DTM (German Touring Car Championship) and the BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) with its aggressive wide-body V6 TI variants, cementing its place as a formidable competitor and a testament to Alfa Romeo's engineering prowess, even in a FWD guise. This particular 1980 Alfa Romeo 155, showing 86,500 miles, presents a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of this rich lineage. While specific engine details are not provided, the factory automatic gearbox is noted to shift perfectly, offering a crisp and engaging feel, suggesting a well-maintained drivetrain. The car's condition is further underscored by its clean Washington State title, which is currently in process. This is a chance to own a characterful and historically significant Alfa Romeo.
