Alfa 164 3.0

[Hamster69]

Just a quick question really. I sold my first Alfa about 8 years ago. I was just wondering if anyone knew if it was still running.
I hope so as it was my pride and joy for years. I bought it as a non runner dumped in a field and sold it as this.



Hand made the grille , swapped the interior with a full leather version. Lowered, rims, complete respray, was two tone black and grey. She was about 20 years old when I sold her and everything worked. Just wondered if that was still the case, I hope so.

What a waste. I totally brought that car back to life and kept it running for three years. I only sold it in 2006, shame people can't keep a wonderful car on the road these days.

The engine might be soldiering on in something else rather more interesting.

I'd assume that it was probably the scrappage scheme...?

I know that these lump are put in some track day type machines. But really this car was awsome. Rear electric seats and climate control in a 1988 car! After my suspension work it handle supremely. I work for Porsche and used to work for Mercedes, I have driven insanely fast cars, luxo barges and everything inbetween. It's true what they say, never a petrol head till you owned your first Alfa.
