whitenemesis, it's not possible to post replies in the Gallery forum.

And I believe the answer your question is 166.

That's Butt ugly fella......

Yes looks like a 166 - their executive car. The car with near vertical depreciation.

D'oh!!!

Thanks markjay . I'll do a bit of Googling around 166.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think it looks elegant and very Italian!

The front is awful yes, but the rest was ok. Front was vastly improved in the 2005ish facelift.

First car to have LED rear indicators, trivia fans!

Bloke at work had one and simply loved it ! The interior was beautiful and it went like stink. Reliable into the bargain !! Mind I am not biased as an Alfa fan

On and off...

I'm not one for big cars but I actually think the 166 is quite a handsome beast. As you can buy one for buttons, I'd seriously consider one as an interesting purchase if I was looking for a shed. Doubtless all the toys stop working, but if you can find one that's mechanically good I bet it'd be a winner..

Cheers,

Gaz

Very good!

And yes, they did work, along with everything else in the car. Did 50,000 miles in it in 2 years and absolutely nothing went wrong. Still occasionally think about getting another - would have to be a facelift 3.2 this time though...

As I keep posting about on here, my wife's 147 refuses to do anything but work perfectly. One door has a huge dent with a decent patch of paint missing (vandalism - brick thrown at the door) and it refuses to tarnish, because it has obviously been properly galvanised, not pretend galvanised as per MB.

It has really put my E-Class to shame.

Facelift looked decent enough:

More 911 than 166 (telephone number wise)

As an ex-Alfa GT owner/ lover!, I feel qualified to confirm it's both a 166 & an ugly mother! Surprisingly, my Alfa never let me down either!, didn't cost the earth to run & now resides on my brother-in-law's drive!
