The Appeal

The Alfa Romeo 156 Lusso in Nuvola Blue is a compelling combination for any Alfisti. The Lusso trim lends the cabin a character that few rivals of the late 1990s could match, and the vendor describes the interior as being in lovely condition.

This 1999 example has covered around 68,000 miles. Externally, the Nuvola Blue paintwork is reported to be free from lacquer peel, though some light marks and dents are noted as expected for a car of this age. The cambelt is flagged as due based on age rather than mileage, and there are a number of MOT advisories that prospective buyers should review carefully. With its well-documented history and well-kept interior, it presents an appealing prospect for those seeking an usable Alfa saloon.
