FS: Alfa Romeo 156 Selespeed

[Mr Speirs]

Selling my Alfa Romeo Selespeed if anyone is interested in some very cheap Italian metal?

Paint on the bumper is flaking
Paint on the roof is cack
And I reversed into a wall so there is 2 dents in the rear of the car either side of the boot lid (I replaced the boot lid)
Air con doesn't work
Generally the car cosmetically on the outside isn't much to shout about.

The car however has been reliable for me for the last 3.5 years and has not once let me down.
My bro in law has just serviced it for me including new front discs and pads all round, calipers cleaned etc.

Car is a 2002 with 76000 miles on the clock, MOT til End of July and tax til end of May. Tyres have all got plenty on meat on them. Tan Leather interior, carbon dash, side skirts and a tow bar fitted by indespension.

Looking for around £500 for it.

I'm not interested at all but I'd quite like to look at some pictures of it anyway.

That is a hell of a lot of car for the money.

[Mr Speirs]

Bumpity?

[JamesMio]

Why the hell am I even looking at this with anything other than a feeling of 'it's miles away, you already have an old car, and haven't you got better things to be spending your money on?!' !?!

I'm intrigued, what do you reckon the next MOT trip will be like...? Breezy or queasy?

[Mr Speirs]

Possible anti-roll bar drop link nothing wrong with the actual link the boots tend to split and with the new regs i have replaced them every year because of this. Last year however when i replaced them one was the new type so hard wearing plastic rubber and one was the old soft easy split rubber. So I reckon that.

I need to look at the bulbs as I've had a 'bulb out' light on the car...usually the sidelight.

You'll get an advisory that there is a small oil leak...there is...it's been there since I've owned it...I've never bothered with it because it's so small and the engine burns the oil faster than it leaks. I don't know if you know the twin-spark engines but they are designed to use oil so don't be alarmed about the engine burns oil comment. It's in the manual. And one of the main reasons Alfas get a bad rep...people run them dry as they are unaware that they burn oil.

Apart from that I can see no reason it wouldn't pass.

[Mr Speirs]

Get a flight to Luton on sunday and I'll pick ye up ;)
