This car belongs to the boss of Fiat India. Atleast it did till last year. It had a minor fender bender too, moralfibre had posted pics elsewhere. We had been to the plant from for a Fiat Club event.

Somehow i don`t like the front of the car, small headlights, small grill . Its kinda expression less face . However, the rear is decent looking.

No offence but this reminds me of Japanese cars of 90s.
Something like Honda accord.

Re: Alfa Romeo 166 spotted in Mumbai!

That aint 164 folks. its a 166, and I am 99% sure its the same car. I am stuck with work tomorrow, if possible, I'll get a pic of it. If anyone have time tomorrow, visit that place, if possible, save it as its super rare in India. I hope I am not wrong on this one!

Re: Alfa Romeo 166 spotted in Mumbai!

Here are the pics for those who were doubting me and my knowledge about cars!

Very sad sight indeed!

Had a chat with the owner, he said the car had caught fire and the engine and front is damaged. He's ready to sell it in current condition for Rs 1.5 lakh

Car has manual transmission and Momo Seats with Alfa Romeo logos;

Re: Alfa Romeo 166 spotted in Mumbai!

Hey everyone! I didnt know which other tread to post this on, so I'm just going to go ahead and post it here.

Which and how many Alfas are currently in India, and what are their present conditions? If some of the more informed members could shed some light, that would be great!

I know of a 4C/156 in Mumbai
159 3.2 Q4 3.2 JTS in Pune, which has relocated to NCR in all probability.
An Alfa 1300GT just got restored in Mumbai recently.
There are more for sure, but i am aware of these only.

I have a 159, but a few thousand kms away, if given a chance, i would love to bring it our shores here.
