Stunning

Exterior

The classic lines of the 1750 GTV two-door coupe. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone who styled some of the most beautiful cars of all time. It was an exotic car for the masses and a contender for representing Italy's pinnacle of automotive production...

Finished in Rosso Alfa. The bodywork was treated to a light refresh a little over ten years ago. The paintwork throughout has a uniform finish and presents very well, being an older restoration there are a few imperfections evident but they do not detract from the overall finish as you can see from the pictures. There's no evidence of rot which was all too common with these 70's Alfa's. Much of the brightwork is original and presents beautifully, we have the original chrome bumpers included with the car which are in fantastic order. Panel fit is very good throughout and wheel arches etc razor sharp with no evidence of corrosion. Excellent original Carello lighting all around, the original Quadrifoglio crests on the C-Pillars are perfect...

Wheels, Tyres & Brakes

The 5 Alfa pressed steel wheels have all been fully refurbished, the simple chromed center caps and exposed lug nuts are in exceptional order. Sitting on excellent all matching Pirelli Cinturato P1 175/65 R14 tyres.

A fully overhauled double circuit servo-assisted brake system with all round discs offers a progressive feel at all speeds, positive and reassuring. 

Engine & Transmission

The power unit has been upgraded from the 1779cc to the 1962cc 4 in-line twin cam engine designed on classic Alfa Romeo lines and developed through vast Alfa racing experience.

Classic Road & Rally, Grantham, Lincs were tasked with completely rebuilding the engine and gearbox at a cost of over £9k. High compression pistons, Jim Evans solid billet camshafts, and new twin Weber 45 DCOE carburettors were used in the process. The gearbox fully rebuilt at this time and a new clutch fitted. The work was undertaken over a two year period and completed in November 2015. This GTV has covered circa 2500 miles since completion.

On the road she does not fail to impress, the clutch is light in operation, and gear changes slick and precise, starts hot or cold with ease. The Alfa's crisp exhaust note or the sweet Weber throat music, this GTV is one that cannot fail to impress.
