How rare is this paint code.

[Alfa 156 JTD]

AR 414/B AZZURRO NUVOLA

I have this paint on my 156 everyone says it looks stunning, but I have not seen another one on the road.

Are they all in the scrap yard or just kept out of daylight

Is it the pale blue pearlescent one? - AFAIK it's fairly rare

[Alfa 156 JTD]

Hi

Yes its light blue with gold green pearl, looks very nice

I have never seen another one, I know its an old paint code there must have been a lot of them at one time.

Yup a stunning colour - I've only seen two IRL

Nice one

Reminds me of a white pearl Audi I used to have (rinses mouth out).

Probably no good posting a pic of mine it looks like a normal light blue metallic, you cant see the blue/gold/greeny pearl.

I have one. A 156 Sportwagon Selespeed with Blue Momo leather. Quite a rare combination of car I believe. Nuvola Blue is pretty rare as it was a £1500 ooption when new.

there she is...

I own a 2001 with the same colour in Dubai.. it still looks great in the sunshine 10 years later and I just cant sell the car.. so I bought a Nuvola Red GTA too :-)) - (See pics on my profile)

That explains why then at £1500.00 a pop


Here's mine but you shame you cant see them as they really look

I've got a 2003 Nuvola Blue 147; fell in love with her the first time I saw her.

[giordano92]

ahhhh Nuvola Blue, it was like the 156 signature colour when it got released. The colour got discontinued with the 3rd generation 156 range though.

In Australia ive only seen it on Tv Ad's and broshures I remember my mum wanting that colour for her 156 but Alfa said it would be a 6 month wait. So very very rare.

Absolutely stunning and rare

Salute, Giordano.

Ive got a the GT in this colour on a 55 plate only 1 ive seen in lincolnshire, suits the curves & sharp lines on the car beautifully, see pics of it in the lincs thread in the meet photo thread, stands out against the other colours.

Saw a dead one today on a flat back recovery truck

The recovery driver did a double take look at me as he was coming out of the cafe.........

Must have thought I had drove it off his truck

Barnehurst Kent area.

I know of an AOer known on the forum as '146alfafan' that has a Nuvola Blue 156 SW 2.5V6 Q-system. he hails from the West Midlands

NIIIIICEEEE Jezza!

Like i mentioned earlier, i havent seen one on the road in Australia. The seagul blue was similar however was just metallic. The Nuvola blue was a very stylish colour

Salute, Giordano.

[Alfa 156 JTD]

Mine looks greeny gold at the moment with the light going.

Also

You can just see the gold in this pic

[mossawi]

If Alfa Romeo is to make the 156 again, I would buy my car again. V6 with Nuvoula blue and this time it is going to be a sportswagen.

[Mr_Caine]

Alfa should bring back the 156, they sold a shed load more than they ever sold 159's.

To the OP that colour is lovely, was probably quite an expensive paint option which is why it's rare.

I just bought a 156 2.5 V6 in this colour AR 414 / B AZZURRO NUVOLA (BLUE CLOUD), MOT failure on rusty floor pans and exhaust. but engine runs great wheels are mint blue MOMO leather interior. Not sure what my plans are for it at the minute two minds break it as I need the gearbox or fix it at quite high cost for the value of the car. anybody interested in parts?

[Pud237]

We're breaking up two Nuvola blue 156 saloons at the moment so if anyone wants any panels in colour let me know. We're also breaking up a 3.0 GTV in the same colour.

Cheers

Forgot to mention the car is located near brands hatch and I will be going to silverstone at the weekend and could take parts with me if there was any interest.
