Title: Hi All
Post by: Wobble_Master on July 08, 2008, 07:33:58 AM
Hi Everyone,

I'm a massive Alfa fan, I currently own a 155 2.5 v6 wide body which as you will all know is a rare car 8)  Not only is it rare but its running on the even rarer 5 spoke speedlines.  The car is completely standard apart from a replica splitter i have fitted and original Sports Pack Spoiler to fit when i find time.

Currently i live in the UK, but my family an i are working our way through the paper work and looking to emigrate to NSW, hopefully in the next year.

Question is should i bring my beloved 155 with me?  To my knowledge there possibly less than 100 of these cars in UK, and down to single figures down under.  I am a member of an excellent website in the UK www.alfa155.org which has a very good knowledge base and friendly atmosphere.  Feel free to drop in and see some pictures of my car or just have a chat, my username is the same there as it is here.

If i were to bring the car with me what are:
Parts like to find?
Re Sale Values Like?

Hopefully i'll be seeing you soon :)

Hi and welcome,

Have a look at this thread, it talks a little about importation and has a couple of contacts that may help.

Parts are pretty rare for the 155 as these never came to our shores (short of personal imports).  Re-sale is an unknown due to the same reason.
