WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
A ountcoecfaorund that the 166 was the UK’s highest depreciating car, maintaining only 14.4 per cent of its value after three years. This, plus a lack of a diesel in the range, meant that few cars were sold here. Times have changed and the few that remain are becoming cherished, meaning that they’re going up in value. Manual facelift V6 models, with the restyled nose – especially the ultra-rare 3.2 V6 – are most cherished. Pre-facelifts with Zender bodykits are also favoured.
