The 164 is a great car, I just can't bring myself to get rid of mine although for the moment it is just another project!
What does she need to get back on the road? Pics please
The 164 is the one car of my past stable which I really miss.
Effortless speed, comfort, agile handling and a massive boot. I also remember (3.0 auto) it was quicker away from the lights than any other car I've owned, and I count the QP in that too. I'm always nervous of thrashing my £3,000 clutch on the QP so I never do grand prix starts in it. With the 164 you just lifted your foot off the brake pedal and it was already motoring.
The usual problem with these rust at the rear arches / suspension. Hopefully I will get round to it at some point.
Mine languishes in the garage in Bleadon - close to you Alfa Muppet! A late 2L on a P plate needing a respray. The rear sub frame looked really 'crispy' when I looked last week and so I worry that it wouldn't even pass an MOT.
