Exceptional Italian classic with an amiably retro colour scheme

Valid Control Technique until April 2028
The Appeal
Introduced for the 1971 model year, the 2000 GTV was a natural ascension for the Alfa Romeo 105 coupes - a matter of evolution rather than revolution. After all, why change such a winning formula? These were, in essence, the series’ ultimate development.
With exceptional Bertone styling, twin-cam powerplants and quintessentially seventies interiors, it’s little wonder these have become some beloved classics - 130hp in a car that weighed in at only a hair over a metric ton made it quite a lively proposition - and it’s still capable of raising a few eyebrows in even the most seasoned driver.
This example comes in a charming retro yellow tone that perfectly encapsulates the model’s character, with a fine level of fettle throughout and a charming interior.

Evocative, stylish and beautifully trimmed, this excellent cabin represents the best of 70s’ Alfa Romeo. It’s the perfect level of retro glamour and practicality, creating a very evocative time capsule.
Much of it is entirely original, save the necessary swapped instruments with like-for-like equivalents. The Alfa Romeo mats are newly fitted and really match up nicely.
We can spot some light wear to the carpets, mostly around the sill plates, but by and large, it’s a superb example - one that’s clearly been very well cared for.
Highly original, still in the car’s period Giallo Piper paintwork (code 116)
Repainted in 2016 to a very high standard

With its bright Giallo Piper paintwork and characterful Bertone styling, this GTV is very glamorous looking motor - thankfully, this one has been kept in a suitable level of luxury, and is in very good order from rooftop to tyres.
With gentle levels of patina to the chromework, and very brightly-presented mustard paint, you’d be forgiven for thinking this car was a time-traveller. It really does look fantastic, and should turn plenty of heads out on the road.
With a good clean underside, plenty of tread on the tyres, and no levels of significant wear to the bodywork, it’ll no doubt prove a very practical car, too.

The perky twin-cam of the GTV is a legend of its own. Popping open the hood of this car reveals the 2.0L unit in excellent order, having been completely restored less than 4,000 kms ago. We understand that the car is driving exactly as expected, and starting first time.
The vendor does note a very slight bit of oil seepage on the rocker arm cover, though this should be an easy job to fix. It certainly doesn’t detract from the overall superb mechanical order of this impressive Italian classic.
Put simply, there’s nothing to raise eyebrows or cause concern - this is an utterly solid Alfa.
With period styling and a superb eye for detail, this highly-presented GTV is a remarkable piece of automotive history. Picked out in a superb shade of period Mustard yellow, packed with an impressive twin-cam motor, and boasting a cossetting period interior, this is a winner through-and-through.
We’ve no doubt this superb car will get plenty of attention - it’s certainly got ours!
