Manufactured in 2000, my Alfa Romeo 156 was made for the market of the United Kingdom. Instead of being imported into the UK, a parallel importer brought it to Hong Kong in 2001. The car is a 2.0 Twin Spark model equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox, luckily it is not the “well-known” Selespeed box; the trim level is Sport Pack II*.
At the time when I was looking for an Alfa, I’d considered 3 model choices, they were 164, 75 and 156. And I had 2 criteria in mind:
- It must have a manual gearbox, absolutely NO Selespeed or automatic box
- A Busso V6 was preferred
