Highlights
- Equipped with the legendary Busso V6 engine
- Only three owners from new
- Triple-layer 'Azzurro Nuvola' paint - a very exclusive option at the time
- Rarely used and maintained with great care
- High-performance four-way exhaust system (the original exhaust system is included)
- Brembo sports brakes and Köni adjustable suspension kit
The Attractions
The 916 was to be one of the last cars to adopt the legendary Busso V6 engine, and what better car than the Pininfarina-designed GTV/Spider to pay homage to one of the most important engines of all time. This second series is a particularly fine example that has been painstakingly updated with a higher performance exhaust system, adjustable Köni suspension and the bonnet, bumpers and front wings of the post-2003 restyled version.
It has only had three owners since new and has been used infrequently by the current owner, receiving careful maintenance at regular intervals. Offered in very good overall condition and reportedly very pleasant to drive, this Alfa Romeo is an opportunity not to be missed.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| €0 to €9,999 | €100.00 |
| €10,000 to €49,999 | €250.00 |
| €50,000 to €99,999 | €500.00 |
| €100,000 + | €1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
