Presented here is a 1997 Alfa Romeo 146 Ti, a sharp-handling and increasingly rare hot saloon from the golden era of Alfa’s 1990s lineup.

SB is thrilled to be re-listing this eminently useable and rare example on the platform.

The “Ti” (Turismo Internazionale) trim level introduced a sportier look and a more focused driving experience, setting it apart from the standard 146 models.

Enhancements included lowered suspension, unique 16-inch alloy wheels, factory side skirts and bumper extensions, sport seats with Ti-specific upholstery, red interior accents, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob.

Under the bonnet lies Alfa’s beloved 2.0-litre Twin Spark inline-four, delivering eager performance with a throaty note that's unmistakably Italian.

Power is sent to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox, offering an analogue driving experience that’s fast becoming a rarity in today’s market.

This example presents very well for its age and remains largely original.
