AI Listing Summary
This 1997 Alfa Romeo 155 is a rare, left-hand drive V6 Final Special Edition, one of only 250 made for the Japanese market. Its exterior is in excellent condition, complemented by a well-maintained mechanical setup, though the interior shows some wear. A well documented history, originality, and rare features make it a desirable collector's item.

The Momo steering wheel also looks to be in fine shape. The factory gear knob has been swapped for a carbonfibre alternative, which is mirrored by the stereo surround (the latter could do with some adjustment).

The target purchasers were high-net worth Japanese customers, keen to pay homage to the racing version of the 155 DTM/BTCC cars, that had performed so well in the mid-1990s.
Modifications to these ‘Final Special Edition’ 155s included a sports free-flow exhaust, cloverleaf badges, up-rated Brembo brake...
