The best Alfa Romeo made. Vastly underrated cars

Myself and my partner have owned 40 166s and currently have 10. They are the most amazing Alfa, very well designed, luxurious inside and out. The generally don’t rust as they are galvanised. Less than 3000 brought to the U.K. sadly.

Wow! What a car, if you’ve never owned one you are missing out. Addictive is the only way I can describe them. We have a dedicated Facebook group called Alfa Romeo 166 V6, TS and JTD support and fan club. Everyone is great and helpful.

If you love Alfas buy one whilst you can. Prices are only going one way.
