I've just Googled for: "alfa 75 leder" (German) "alfa 75 cuir" (French) "alfa 75 pelle" (Italian) and found loads of small ads thoughout Europe for 75s with leather interiors, for what it's worth.

I really can't be arsed with all this willy-waggling and trying to prove me wrong. Suffice to say that what was available on the continent doesn't reflect what was available in the UK, 75s are quite old and desireable these days, so many will have been retrimmed. However, whatever the official booklet says, there were so few sold in the UK that the OP may as well forget the idea of finding one with leather (or aircon, coming to that). -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

Guys, guys Easy up, huh? Steve is in error, but he does have a fair point. They are very rare (IME) in the UK, and ergo hard to find second hand. That's hardly a reason for what seems to be turing rapidly into a witch hunt. $0.02 -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |

The only reason I bother to correct factual errors is that this isn't a chat room - it all gets archived by Google and someone may one day rely on it. I've used Dejanews & Google Groups for years and it can be a right pain when someone posts factually incorrect info. BTW, you'd have a lot more credibility around here if you started using phrases like "AFAIK" and "IME" when you can't be sure of stuff. FYI I have seen 75s advertised with aircon. Sounds like you're a bit wound up, so why not go and have a beer or something... Mark |

Most early 155s in red are now distinctly pink, plus it didn't seem to be a particularly common colour anyway. The platinum metallic is stunning, but I also quite like my silver - it's better than the white on my 75.

[1] It's the whitest white I've ever seen on a car - everything else looks beige in comparison, and it's absolutely blinding in sunlight. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' http://www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - MZ ETZ300 VW Golf GL Cabrio - Alfa 75 TS - Alfa 155 TS Lusso - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |
