Due to also owning a 155 Q4 and 155 V6 widebody my V6 skinny regretfully now for sale..... Real nice example, has been painted in the past so isn't the usual faded Rosso you often see. Handles superbly, very direct and responsive. Interior has electric seats and is all clean and in good condition. Engine bay is tidy and original. I've fitted a set of black 16" Speedline alloys from the my later V6 Sportpack. A couple could do with some paint, but they all are straight and the tyres have plenty of tread. The car isn't without its flaws, it has a few minor parking marks, the gearbox makes a small noise (but this hasn't changed in the time we've owned it, and doesn't effect operation). The top of the bootlid has been repainted (separate to the respray to remove a spoiler I suspect), and is quite 'dotty'. Could possibly be buffed/repaired though. Not really obvious though to the casual onlooker hence why it didn't concern me. The oil level light is permanently on, but this is obviously just a bad sender and nothing to worry about. The speedo doesn't work, but on my other V6 this only cost about £35 to have fixed at an Alfa specialist. I've just been using my sat nav's speedo when on longer journeys. JVC CD headunit Ragazzon full stainless exhaust (sounds superb!) Apex -40mm lowering kit All bushes/suspension are good with no knocks or clonks Body is very good, no rust in the door shuts etc. Pressed Euro plates - Italian font Nurburgring sticker (it hasn't actually been, the previous owner just wanted to go!). MOT May 19th 2011 Tax end of April 2011 £700

Is it a 2.5 or 3.0 engine? It'll be a 2.5. They only put the 3litre in the 164 and 166. Even the 156 only got a 2.5v6 other than the rather loverly GTA that was a 3.2. I've alway wanted a v6 Alfa after running a 159 Diesel as a daily but my one retro car rule stops me. It's so close by as well..

Not really looking to spend, so thanks but no thanks to the Beetle!
V70 was interesting until I saw the 'to do' list. Swap plus cash my way might be tempting though.
