2006 ALFA ROMEO 147 1.6 5-DR PROGRESSION IN SOUTH AFRICA

In the year 2000, as mankind ushered in the new millennium, ALFA ROMEO introduced its 147. It was such a beautiful start to a new exiting era for humanity..... nearly 20 years later, I cant help but wonder where it all went wrong. Cars have always had a way of emulating the spirit of their generation. The industrial muscle of the 50S, The free loving peace of the 60s, the sheer strong simplicity of the 70s and 80s, the innovation of the 90s...... and then, as a young lad, when I first saw the ALFA 147, I remember the feeling.... sheer, unbridled joy I mean seriously, it didnt get any cooler, that round swooping bonnet, the familiar triangular nose, the sunken kaleidoscopic dash dials emblazoned with BENZINA and ACQUA..... It made the golf 4 and ford focus look like Cinderellas fat evil step sisters This one is the cleanest, most original example left anywhere in South Africa. ONE LADY OWNER SINCE NEW, SERVICED ANNUALLY BY ALFA AND ALFA SPECIALISTS SINCE NEW Just feels so tight and solid, looks so very right in blue water metallic For this price, you could buy something average, or you could buy something extraordinary.... If you sit in the drivers seat of this car for a while, after you have arrived home..... in the silence, you can still hear in a sultry, soft whisper.... the promise of something hopefully beautiful
