About the Alfa Romeo 146 930
The Alfa Romeo 146 was the five-door fastback counterpart to the 145, designed to replace the ageing 33. In 1997, the model received a significant mechanical upgrade, replacing the old boxer engines with the characterful 16-valve Twin Spark units. This 1.6-litre variant offered a sweet spot in the range, providing the signature Alfa Romeo induction note and sharp steering response that set it apart from contemporary rivals like the Volkswagen Golf. While it shared its platform with the Fiat Tipo, Alfa's engineers tuned the chassis for a more engaging, albeit firm, driving experience. Today, it is a rare sight on UK roads, appreciated by collectors for its distinctive wedge-shaped styling and rev-happy Italian engine.
