All the chrome bits stuck on to it ruin it.

FirstIreland called their classic insurer and they agreed to it. I have 3 other motors (2 daily one other classic) insured with them which may helped.

However, I generally find them good to deal with and very accommodating. (Thanks to Matt_Simis for originally suggesting them)

+1 on First Ireland, great insurer. Been with them for years and I don't see myself moving anytime soon.

nice.

Bit pricey considering it's slammed and the NCT is up in a month.

You're giving out about a nice 10 year old low mileage well maintained luxo Alfa with a valid NCT. And you suggest a nearly 20 year old Toyota for nearly the same price with no mention of NCT or mileage?

Must admit though that when I thanked the 166 suggestion, I read it as having a 01/13 NCT and not a 03/11 one

I also must admit when I thanked it I hadn't seen the price! Lol

If he changed the price from €1,600 to €160, VolvoCarinaboy might get interested

In fairness I wasn't giving out as such, but to say the Alfa is well maintained based on the add is a bit of a stretch. Lowered like that with tints doesn't bode well me thinks. I like 166s but that Alfa is a skanger wagon.

The Carina is as well maintained as the Alfa if you take the adds at face value :P Fully serviced with a new belt

Still 10 year old classy car with test versus 20 year old sh1tbox without test. For the same price. Get my point?

No :pac:
If the Alfa wasn't lowered with the tints I'd get your point though

A slammed car due a test sets off alarm bells for me, some folks cut springs etc etc for lowering. If the Alfa was genuinely in great nick if I was trying to sell it I'd have a test on it

Majorily over priced but it has to be said, it's very pretty.

unkel

Pretty is not the word I'd use on a big old fat ugly man like a Lexus LS400

Looks in good condition alright, but why oh why the lack of NCT?

I cannot think of anything worse than a lowered 166. I had one that wasnt lowered in any way and let me just say the sump was alittle too near the road. IMO they look just right with the factory ride height. That one is terrible I think.

If it will pass the test, no bother, why doesn't he spend €50 & put it thru'. Then with a few (a good few) quid knocked off, it will sell.
