It should be 1988. This one /vehicle_879065-Alfa-Romeo-75-162B-1988.html arrived later, episoded from 1990 on. It's a different car not only due to the plate, but also due to the rear model badging which is different |

Matula's 2nd Alfa Romeo 75, used from episode 9.06 ("Die Quittung", filmed 1989) to episode 10.05 ("Tödlicher Irrtum") -- Last edit: 2016-04-05 15:56:12 |

This facelift was launched in October 1988, so I believe it should be MY 1989? @bux_48 |

Yes, indeed. I think I will go through 75s sooner or later, there are many small changes in its career, and many details to recognize some versions ![]() ![]() |

Watching this series can be helpful to identify the model years from the 75 to the 159, as Matula was provided with a new model everytime there was some change (same for the lawyers' cars). For what I know now, I think the scheme could be: 06.1985: 1985 Alfa 75 (launch model) 03.1987: 1987 75 (mixed model with newer script and Twin Spark engine) 10.1988: 1989 75 (facelifted model with scripts on right) 11.1989: 1990 75 (scripts moved to left and G-Kat for basic models 1.6/1.8) 12.1991: 1992 75 (run-out model limited to 1.6 IE and 2.0 TD) Matula used the 1987 (F-J 6801), 1989 (F-YY 762) and 1990 models (F-C 4291), all with the 2.0 Twin Spark engine. He didn't use the 1985 as cars were then provided by Audi, neither the 1992 as he switched to the new 155 -- Last edit: 2023-05-12 13:44:22 |

Yes these are the main exterior changes. There were some interior changes too in half-1986 in which commands derived from the Alfa 90 were replaced by newer ones. I think you meant 1989MY has script on the right and 1990MY on the left ![]() Also, on early models, the hood changes (TD models had a very slight high relief, later adopted also by TS and with the 1989MY by all versions), and the exhaust position also can help to ID the engine. |

Sure, I switched them by mistake (that's maybe because I'm not much interested in politics and I cannot distinguish left and right? ![]() Anyway, you are right about the other updates, I have to check one of my Alfa Romeo books where there is something like this described (although we would need a more detailled source maybe ![]() |

Indeed it's not very easy to date all these updates, because sometimes they didn't even came together ![]() |
