On the rare occasions when Shed has been struggling to find a decent car to tell you about, he has never really been concerned because he knew that there would be an old Alfa lying around somewhere to come to his rescue. 147s, 155s, 156s, 164s, GTVs, 166s, OK not so much 166s, but decent examples of all the others were always out there tempting buyers with £1,500 and sometimes considerably less to spend.
The history of this week’s Blackline looks a lot more hopeful with one previous owner bar the supplying dealer, 16 stamps in the service book, a clean MOT pass just over two months ago and nothing alarming in the years leading up to that. It’s currently standing at 88,000 miles and looks, well, good. That’s what Alfas want you to think of course but with those teledial wheels, at least one Michelin tyre and no obvious bodywork besmirchments it’s hard to find a bad angle on this car.
Performance-wise, the 165hp and 152lb ft gave you 134mph and a 0-60 of 8.7 seconds. Not exactly blistering but enough to cause some light skin irritation. Today’s VED is also lightly annoying at £415pa. Combined fuel consumption was 32.5mpg.
