The Appeal

Considered by Alfisti to be the spiritual successor to the Alfasud, the 145 is one of the more characterful hot hatches of the 1990s. Our 1997 Cloverleaf combines Alfa's celebrated 2.0-litre Twin Spark engine with Pininfarina's distinctive wedge styling. As the range-topping variant, it offered a driving experience that few rivals could match for sheer verve, and survivors in good order are becoming increasingly thin on the ground.

Our Alfa has benefited from a comprehensive recent mechanical overhaul and is presented on four new tyres. The vendor states it runs and drives with no faults. Cosmetically, some bleaching is noted on the roof and grille, but the vendor otherwise describes the bodywork and interior as presenting well. With a large amount of recent work already completed, this 145 Cloverleaf presents an appealing opportunity for fans of 1990s Italian hot hatches.
