most 16v and earlier s2 cloverleafs were fitted with recaro interiors, but the 16v (series3) had better front seats. there were 2 choices i believe a black and half leather with vomit like carrot chunks in the material (only joking) or an alcantara and leather seats which is the more desirable imo. Finding one at the moment may prove well lets say competitive as suddenly 3 people are now after one , my advice is to tap alex's phone or keep an eye on the net (ebay, piston heads or buy auto italia for the ads) or join alfa owners club for their quaterly mag. Good luck.

I think it stands for Turismo Internazionale.. it's a model of 33, obviously, like QV or P4. In my part of the world, Ti was a level below QV (the top spec). Our series 2 Ti cars had 1.5l engines, plastic wheel covers, unpainted bumpers, seats that didn't pretend to be sporty, a different interior fabric etc.
The Ti name was dropped here for the facelifted series 3 cars - they were just called '1.5ie', '1.7ie' etc.

Woohoo! At this rate, with the inevitable price rises we'll soon be rich!

Yep, I'll agree with Ben there. There was also a 1.5 veloce with colour coded bumpers, alloys etc.
