Basic information and history

The Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon was presented at the turn of the millennium as one of the most sporty-profiled station wagon alternatives in the mid-range. In 2000, the Selespeed version was introduced, with its characteristic robotized manual transmission system, directly influenced by Alfa's racing program. The transmission received good reviews in the press and did not come with the problems that similar solutions have caused for other car manufacturers. Here we offer an unusually low-mileage 156 Sportwagon Selespeed Twinspark, a model that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in good condition. Italian temperament mixed with practicality, what a wonderful combination!

This car is Swedish-sold and has only had one user since it was delivered new from the then Alfa dealer Tylösand Motor AB in Halmstad. First registration date is 2001-02-05. The odometer reading is 94,400 km, which can be guaranteed . The previous owner, a lawyer, used the car until it was put away and stored in a heated garage by his survivors. Ownership history is very clear.

The car has been serviced according to schedule and comes with extensive documentation, including a Dinitrol treatment certificate . Notable milestones include a timing belt replacement at 57,280 km and several major brake maintenance. It has recently been inspected and serviced at an authorized workshop in Halmstad. A unique combination of good documentation, low mileage and few owners, together with the unusual Selespeed system, makes this an interesting object.

Finding an Alfa 156 Sportwagon Twinspark in this condition, with Selespeed and such a well-documented Swedish history, is very rare.

Equipment and options

• Selespeed – robotic gearbox (rare in the station wagon version)
• Black leather upholstery
• Air conditioning (working)
• Two complete sets of original rims

The car is completely original and all major interventions (timing belt, multi-belt, oil in the Selespeed box, Dinitrol treatment, etc.) are carried out according to specification and documented.

Condition

Body and exterior condition:
The paint is in very good original condition with a nice shine and free from visible damage. The windows are free of stone chips. The chrome, moldings, headlight lenses and emblems are also in very good condition, with the only remark that the bracket on the left rearview mirror has a minor paint chip.

Interior: The leather upholstery is in very good condition, with no damage, cracks or visible wear. The headliner is intact and well maintained. The steering wheel, controls and buttons are in excellent condition and show hardly any signs of use. Overall, it is an unusually well-maintained and well-groomed interior.

Tires and rims: The car is fitted with Continental tyres on original rims in good condition, although they are not brand new. Another set of original rims with Pirelli tyres is included, but these have been used during extended storage and are not recommended for everyday use due to some deformation. Rims for both wheel sets in very good condition.

Mechanics and function: Recently serviced and overhauled, the engine starts without a doubt and runs very well. The brakes have recently been replaced and the car has undergone an inspection with no complaints regarding imbalance or function. The Selespeed gearbox works both in automatic mode (City) and manually via the gear lever and buttons on the steering wheel. The drivetrain is problem-free and all functions work as intended.

Service history

The car is continuously serviced according to schedule and all major interventions are documented. Important items include:

• Timing belt and multi-belt replaced at 57,280 km
• Dinitrol treatment performed
• Front and rear brakes replaced at 94,180 km and 94,300 km respectively
• Oil change in the Selespeed system 2013

Summary

This is an unusually complete Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon Selespeed Twinspark . The car is Swedish-sold, has only had one owner and is in excellent documented condition on both the body, interior and mechanics. The Selespeed system is rare to find in a Sportwagon version and the car's entire history can be followed from the first delivery. Rarely does the opportunity arise to acquire such a well-documented and untouched Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon with Selespeed and this low, guaranteed mileage.
