The beauty of 166

Just wanted to share some beautiful pictures with you. I'm letting my beauty go in favour of an other old love. She sure is a looker, ain't she?

Re: The beauty of 166

I've never had to clean it, it's always been like new under the bonnet! Just have to remove some road dust now and then with a sponge and water, that's it.

And a little pic from the inside also, just as pristine.

Are you selling it with or without the wheels?

Re: The beauty of 166

I'm selling it in favor of an M5 V8. Always wanted one and the right mood struck me walking past one which gave me severe lust for it. Hate it when that happens, 'coz I've been really pleased with this Alfa! Still rides likes new and looks like it also. But there is no reason to be found in buying cars and motorcycles with your heart...

Can consider selling the Zenders on the side...

Re: The beauty of 166

I want to wait for a prospective buyer first to see if the buyer wants both wheels or not. Will let you guys know in that case.

Re: The beauty of 166

Thanks for the kind comments. But I'm afraid that it won't be too easy to sell it on, I'm asking around £5000 and really think it's worth it. Shame most of you drive on the wrong side since you can really appreciate a fine specimen when you see one...

Re: The beauty of 166

It's hard to think this car has done 127000miles year-round since 2001 with salty swedish winters. Good testament to what taking care of your car can do for it..

Re: The beauty of 166

Lovely pics, the car is in excellent condition.... looks better than my 2004 166... i'm slightly now...

Good luck with the German... RWD and another 128Kw should make a huge difference
