Hello!
For sale: Alfa 166 2.5 v6 (T reg)
Now 300 as it stands!!!!!!!!!
Once in a lifetime opportunity
In Feb I bought this alfa:
retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=bugmot&thread=123252&page=1#1524646
Please be aware - the car is very tatty looking (bumper, doors, bonnet all scuffed / dented / sratched etc!!!!
2.5 v6 113k miles
When I bought it I replaced (upgraded) to an aftermarket oil coolers (APS one), replaced leaking lines with proper rubber hose and hose clamps, fitted a new high power halfords battery, two new khumo tyres, refitted the backbox with a suitable diameter flexible exhaust link pipe, and replaced both fron t down sections (slightly badly...) they work fine but blow leading to a slight whistle. Air con bearing had gone so replaced bearings but had to permnently remove the aircon clutch plate - so air con does not actually work - but blowers and heaters do! Most interior lights had bulbs removed as was causing a battery drain problem and I had to fix in a rush - so pulling all the bulbs seemed to do the trick : D. Also replaced drivers side window mechanisms and motor as last onew faulty.
Car has MOT (9th Feb 2012) and Tax until end Feb '13
Engine and gearbox seems fine -
Car known to have play in front wishbone bushes (on last 2 or 3 MOTs but still passed) although there is now a creak / sqeaky sound front right hand side of car - not had time to investigate
NOTE- the car has lots of battle scars, dents, sratches, dings, and has had a low impact front knock with a small crease across the bonnet (just about see in the picturs from above link) bumper split slightly and touched up and they replaced the headlight which broke) - I have had the bumper off and it's structurally all straight!
So Good points:
2.5 v6 engine and box with receipt for a recent cambelt (just the belt must have been fitted by owner)
9 month old Halford special big expensive battery!
Brembo front brakes
2 recent front tyres
ICS works - with code provided
Quite a few new bits
No error symbols
Car drives, uses no water, few drips of oil as expected, but very minor, and very small seepage from the PAS pump
Bad:
Suspension creaks - posibly related to the know play in wishbone bushes (requires new wishbones - unsure whether top or bottom though)
Exhaust blows
Aircon pump clutch removed
Most panels dented - but useable
Interior has a fair few scratches, stains, marks and scuffs.
Central locking works but only with the key in the lock - no remote activity
Can't think of much else noteworthy
Been used daily for a 5 miles round trip every weekday since Feb and only let me down when I collected the car due to the oil cooler pipes worsening so I got picked up by AA to prevent and engine damage
Suitable for project, repairs, engine transplant, breaking, rat-look alfa
From looking about seems that the follow would be easily achievable (but I havent space, time or inclination to break really).
As a very minimum for the bits (assumiong ebay tells no lies)
£75 Wheels (5 alloys) 2 kuhmos only done 1000 miles
£100 Brembo front brakes
£150 2.5 v6 engine, box, ECU etc
£100 window regulators, switch gear etc
£100 for the shell??
£50 for battery
£50 for oil cooler??
Anyway, if it doesn't sell I will be removing the new battery and oil cooler (£50 each easy) and scrapping
1 proper key, 1 spare valet key
Anyway - take the lot away for £350!!!!
Oh - also comes with a sparse Alfa wallet with some guides / CD workshop guide I think
Thanks!!!!
