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.
