2010 Alfa Romeo 159 1750 TBi Ti
***NO RESERVE***
Registration - FP10 EHS
Chassis No. - ZAR93900007259789
M.O.T. - March 2024
Odometer - 92,900
This is an opportunity to acquire a very rare example – there are believed to be just 20 in the UK - of one of the most desirable variants of Alfa Romeo’s well-regarded 159, which has been the subject of considerable recent expenditure and is now offered at No Reserve. Attractively presented in silver with tan and black leather interior, with the Alfa Romeo emblem elegantly stitched in red onto the tan leather seats, and sitting on 10-spoke alloy wheels with red brake callipers, ‘FP10 EHS’ has been in its current ownership for the last three years, during which time it has clearly been cherished. Within the last year alone the stylish four-door saloon has had the subframe replaced, alloy wheels and brake callipers refurbished, paintwork refreshed, cambelts and rear bushes replaced and been treated to four new tyres – at a total cost of some £15,000. The car, which sports an upgraded, stainless-steel exhaust, has been regularly serviced throughout by an Alfa Romseo specialist throughout the vendor’s period of ownership. It is offered complete with full service history, fully stamped service book, all historic invoices, owner’s manual, original spare wheel, jack and toolkit. The vendor describes the 200bhp, 1750cc turbocharged petrol engine, the desirable six-speed manual transmission, electrics and interior as ‘excellent’ and the bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’. The 93,000 mileage is supported by the service and MOT history, and ‘FP10 EHS’ has a fresh MOT, with no advisories to 31 March 2025.
Produced from 2006 to 2011, the Giorgetto Giugiaro-styled Alfa Romeo 159 is renowned for its stunning good looks, sporting performance, well-balanced handling and five-star Euro NCAP crash rating. Ten engine options were available at various times over the years of production, ranging from the 1750 TBi to the 3.2-litre V6 JTS, with the 1750 TBi as sported by the sale car offering the second-fastest performance, with a 0-62mph time of 7.7 seconds.
In summary:
- An exceptionally rare example – just 20 of this particular variant believed to remain in the UK
- Beautifully presented, with some £15,000 spent on the car over the past year
- Offered at No Reserve, with full service history supporting the 93,000 mileage
