Stylish, award-winning Italian hatch seeks willing skinflint SOTW
Shed likes the odd game of snooker, and it's a very odd game that they play on the village table which is housed in a Nissen hut on the edge of the old airfield. One of Shed's regular adversaries there is the postmistress's husband. They have good competitive games, and as you would expect Shed jumps on his misses every chance he gets. Of course, Shed's big dream is to get a maximum 147 break, an ambition that may yet be realised in a different way with this week's shed.
147 build quality inside and out was very good, and not just by stereotypical Alfa standards either, but the body was very sensitive to colour. Wishy-washy 'executive' hues like silver were supposed to let it compete with its rivals, but Alfas have always been about the passion, and as Shed will tell you after a quick browse through the Bravissimo lingerie catalogue there's nothing like a splash of bright red to get your bloods going.
As you'd expect from something so closely related to the 156, the 147's steering was super-fast if also a bit super-light. The '04 refresh brought lighter weight generally, plus more electronic driver aids and new damper settings to smooth out some of the old car's nobbliness. There wasn't much room in the back but the front seats were as comfy as they looked. 147 suspension was never other than firm so UK-owned examples tended to develop clonks in their old age and the engines sometimes liked a drop of oil, but other than that there's not a lot to fret over.
