Alfa 164 - says auto but it’s a manual.

I think due to the dent and bumper mark on the NSR that may be the 164 I drove in 1999/2000. I was offered it in 2000 and later learnt it went for £650.

^^^ “Car was sent for pre MOT and needs very little work to get it back on the road.” Then why not do the work, will likely make it much more saleable; oh wait, one of those little things is a game changer.

S600L Bi-Turbo

Stunning.

Looks a million bucks.
No longer available.
Somebody else (with the money) obviously agreed!
There's another one from page 2: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202205256...
They're the same car, the link in nobrake's post is copied as it displays on PH rather than the actual advert. Unless it's another S600 that was also listed on May 25th 2022.
Thought that might be the case, bad linkage.
My bad, I copied the text link instead of editing the quote.

If we are doing Japanese luxo barges, I’ll have one of these, Nissan President Sovereign, $5,258.





4500 cc petrol powered goodness.



Fun to be had trying to work this out.





Looks a nice place to be.

Apologies for the poor images. Just the small task of getting it from Kagoshima Japan.

Must be FWD judging by the engine lay out?
Interior looks exceedingly comfortable!

If it was £2500 i’d risk the earache off the mrs and buy it myself!

Kids will be out their ISOFIX child seats soon enough and on to those sit on ones that just utilise the cars seat belts so no need for mid-00’s onwards motoring soon enough.

Also looks pretty entertaining like the Toyota Crowns. The headlamps seem reminiscent of the Rolls of the late 90s / early 2000s.

5.4 litre engine does not sound like the original Rolls unit. That would be 6.75 litre I think. Must be VW or BMW era? I think if I bought a Rolls I would want the English engine in it... even if slower / thirstier

Rear subframes are very difficult to find and different from the other Tipo Quattro cars (Croma,9000,Thema).

It was dented after I drove it and before I was offered it and the dent another more pressing matters meant I didn't even ask how much was wanted for it.

172k isn’t that high, Shirley?

I’m tempted to offer a glib response — well, it got there!
