Before accountants discovered passion could be measured in spreadsheets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"318\" data-end=\"347\"\u003eAnd this is exactly that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"349\" data-end=\"606\"\u003eThis 1993 Alfa Romeo 164 is powered by the legendary 3.0 Busso V6 12V producing 132 kW — one of the greatest sounding engines ever installed into a front-wheel-drive sedan. Not “good for its time.” Not “interesting.” Truly one of the all-time great engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"608\" data-end=\"869\"\u003eDesigned by Pininfarina and developed during the golden years of Italian engineering madness, the 164 combined executive-class comfort with the soul of a proper sports car. It was elegant, fast, slightly dramatic and completely unapologetic about being Italian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"871\" data-end=\"1114\"\u003eThis particular example comes finished in black, which suits the sharp lines of the Type Four chassis perfectly. Low, wide and serious from every angle, the 164 still carries that unmistakable presence modern sedans desperately try to imitate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1406\"\u003eUnder the bonnet sits the famous Busso V6 in its rarer 12-valve configuration — a motor celebrated not only for its performance, but for the way it delivers it. Smooth, mechanical, alive. The intake sound above 4000 RPM is enough to make even modern supercars feel emotionally disconnected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1408\" data-end=\"1635\"\u003eThe car sits on a stunning set of rare period-correct alloy wheels which perfectly complete the aggressive early-90s Italian executive look. Today alone, wheels like these can easily reach values around €2.000 among collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1637\" data-end=\"2021\"\u003eUnlike many collector cars that spent their lives hidden under covers, this Alfa has covered 325.000 km — and somehow that makes it even more special. Because cars like this were never meant to be decorations. They were built to cross continents at speed, carrying executives, enthusiasts and probably a few questionable life decisions somewhere between Milano and the Adriatic coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2023\" data-end=\"2273\"\u003eToday, clean Alfa Romeo 164 Busso examples are becoming increasingly rare, especially the earlier 12V cars. Most disappeared through neglect, rust or owners brave enough to daily-drive Italian engineering far beyond what common sense would recommend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2275\" data-end=\"2350\"\u003eBut the survivors?\u003cbr data-start=\"2293\" data-end=\"2296\"\u003eThey are finally getting the recognition they deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2352\" data-end=\"2592\"\u003eThis is not simply an old Alfa Romeo.\u003cbr data-start=\"2389\" data-end=\"2392\"\u003eThis is one of the last true analog Italian sport sedans. A machine from the era when engines had character, dashboards wrapped around the driver and every tunnel became an excuse to lower the window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2594\" data-end=\"2697\"\u003eAnd honestly… once you hear a Busso V6 properly sing, many modern cars start feeling clinically boring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2699\" data-end=\"2702\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2704\" data-end=\"2720\"\u003eVehicle details:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2722\" data-end=\"3179\"\u003e– Year: 1993\u003cbr data-start=\"2734\" data-end=\"2737\"\u003e– Mileage: 325.000 km\u003cbr data-start=\"2758\" data-end=\"2761\"\u003e– Engine: 3.0 Busso V6 12V Petrol\u003cbr data-start=\"2794\" data-end=\"2797\"\u003e– Power: 132 kW \/ 180 HP\u003cbr data-start=\"2821\" data-end=\"2824\"\u003e– Transmission: Manual\u003cbr data-start=\"2846\" data-end=\"2849\"\u003e– Drivetrain: Front-Wheel Drive\u003cbr data-start=\"2880\" data-end=\"2883\"\u003e– Rare 12V Busso Version\u003cbr data-start=\"2907\" data-end=\"2910\"\u003e– Air Conditioning\u003cbr data-start=\"2928\" data-end=\"2931\"\u003e– Electric Windows\u003cbr data-start=\"2949\" data-end=\"2952\"\u003e– Rare Multi-Piece Alfa Romeo Alloy Wheels\u003cbr data-start=\"2994\" data-end=\"2997\"\u003e– Estimated Wheel Set Value: €2.000\u003cbr data-start=\"3032\" data-end=\"3035\"\u003e– Original Condition\u003cbr data-start=\"3055\" data-end=\"3058\"\u003e– Black Exterior\u003cbr data-start=\"3074\" data-end=\"3077\"\u003e– Pininfarina Design\u003cbr data-start=\"3097\" data-end=\"3100\"\u003e– Well Preserved Example\u003cbr data-start=\"3124\" data-end=\"3127\"\u003e– One of the Last True Analog Italian Sport Sedans\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3181\" data-end=\"3316\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAn increasingly rare Alfa Romeo 164 powered by the legendary Busso V6 — a true collector piece from the golden era of Italian motoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bavarian Old School","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57120791298423,"sku":null,"price":11900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/2675\/5642\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_b780a462-98aa-4407-a644-dcbf5b5c7db0.png?v=1779649054","url":"https:\/\/bavarianoldschool.com\/products\/1993-alfa-romeo-164-3-0-v6-busso-12v","provider":"Bavarian Old School","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
