1994 ALFA ROMEO 155 Q4

KEY FACTS

• An excellent example of the rare performance saloon, finished in the iconic Rosso Alfa.
• Under the bonnet is the turbocharged 2.0-litre 16V engine, producing around 190bhp and 215lb-ft of torque, coupled to the five-speed manual transmission with permanent four-wheel-drive.
• Understood to be one of around 2,700 Q4 155s, few of which made it to the UK.
• It was imported to the UK from Italy in 2016 after being discovered in a garage, and has since been restored.
• The odometer shows just 33,481 km. While this cannot be warranted, it is believed to be correct.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The engine and four-wheel drive system in the 155 Q4 were both derived from the legendary Lancia Delta Integrale.
• Finished in the unmistakable hue of Rosso Alfa, this 155 rides on the correct 15-inch Speedline alloy wheels.
• It is equipped with Recaro sport seats, plus automatic climate control.
• Its Certificato Di Origine will be included, along with a copy of its original Italian registration document, a PRA document and a selection of recent maintenance invoices.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Its resprayed Alfa Red paintwork is in superb order, though one scuff has been reported to the nearside front bumper corner.
• Inside, the driver’s seat bolster cushion has deteriorated slightly, but upholstery is believed to be entirely original throughout the cabin, and it is in excellent condition.
• The radio and driver’s electric mirror function are not operating, and the passenger’s electric window is slightly slow.
• The most recent MOT test was on 9 July 2020, which was a clean pass with no advisories or defects. At this test, the mileage appears to have been erroneously recorded as 36,163 km, when the correct readout at this time was 33,163 km. The vendor will also have another test carried out prior to the vehicle’s sale.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The paintwork was corrected upon arrival in the UK, and the Speedline alloy wheels were diamond cut and powder-coated after which new tyres were fitted.
• In June 2017 at 33,112 kms, technicians at Auto Integrale in Reading replaced the engine oil, filter, spark plugs, sump gasket, battery, clutch slave cylinder, brake master cylinder, cambelt, tensioners, brake discs, brake pads, flexi brake hoses, bump stops, bonnet struts and tyres.

SUMMARY

This Alfa Romeo 155 Q4 is a superb example of a rare and exciting modern classic, which has recently been imported from Italy, subsequently having a full exterior repaint and a recommissioning service. Laid up securely in a garage for many years, the car’s indicated mileage of 33,481km is believed to be correct, especially given the ‘time warp’ appearance of the cabin. It will no doubt appeal to marque collectors and keen drivers alike.
