1991 Alfa Romeo 164 3.0 V6 12V Auto For Sale

Welcome to the listing of my Alfa Romeo 164 3. 0 V6 12V Auto,
This car was originally registered in Hong Kong, I believe as a company car. When the owner returned to the UK, they brought this car back with them in 1999.
Its a really nice original, useable example of a modern classic, the underside has no rust at all.

The good bits,
- Mileage is showing 154, 000 on the dash, but I found a note with the service history which said the original speedo reading was 75, 000km before a second hand speedo was fitted which was already at 138, 500 miles. A real shame the previous owner didn't fit one with closer mileage, but if its true, it would work out to only having driven around 63, 000 miles from new.
- The underside has no rust at all! It has never been welded, and doesn't even look like its been undersealed.
- The 12v engine is strong and runs nicely, it sounds brilliant! Automatic gearbox changes well, no nasty noises.
- Passed its MOT 10 days ago, it had a couple of advisories on rear bushes.
- Has a nice black leather interior, with power seats. All the seat motors work. There is some bolster wear on the drivers seat which could do with being recoloured, and some seam stitching has broken on the drivers seat and between the headrests of the rear seats. Not difficult to be sorted.
- Nice spec with Aircon, electric windows, fog lights and rear blinds.
- Tyres all have good tread, the front right does have wear on the outer edge.

and now, sadly onto the not so good bits. I'm going to describe everything, so it will sound much worse than this great car actually is!
- Timing belt tensioner is leaking oil. Very common on these, the options are to accept the leak and just top up, buy a rebuild kit from America which sound a bit hit and miss, or convert the tensioner to an American spec mechanical tensioner, which does require the oil channel to be plugged and a stud inserted into the block. I was still deciding which I preferred so this wasn't sorted.
- Where the rear screen meets the boot, there is some rust. The previous owner has fiberglassed this water channel, which has probably made the situation worse. Its not horrendous but expect welding here.
- The speedo doesn't seem to line up with the speed of the car, 30mph on the road shows around 22mph on the speedo etc.
- The blowers weren't working when I drove it a few days ago. I know the stepper motor is common to go on the 164's, and its not a nice job to get to. They were working when I drove it back from the MOT station, so maybe its nothing difficult?
- the bodywork has dents and scratches all around, the worst dent is probably the rear O/ S door, and the worst scrapes are to the bumpers.
- and finally, I think there's trapped air in the coolant system, its running a bit hot for my liking, so ill try to sort this before the buyer collects.

So to summarise, a really good example of a rare Alfa Romeo, which with a bit of work could be a really special example.
