*Rarely seen in the UK
*Comprehensive history showing 11 services and £20,000-plus spent
*Possibly one of the best in the UK


The 166 brought Alfa Romeo squarely into a market dominated by the BMW 5-series and the Mercedes-Benz E-class, but some UK buyers thought out of the box and opted for the Alfa instead. UK sales figures were comparatively low so finding any 166 today can take time – until now. This 2002 166 Lusso offers rarely-seen opportunity, having vendor-described excellent bodywork and trim, while the paint is reported to be very good. The interior is said to be excellent throughout and the cream-coloured leather seats are singled out by the vendor as being "stunning." Our vendor says the engine is excellent for starting, running and for presentation and that the running gear is excellent throughout. There is much history, including bills and receipts for more than £20,00, and two keys.
