The Appeal
A true driver's car. As the saying goes, you aren’t a true petrol head until you’ve owned an Alfa Romeo, so why not make it a really, really good one?
The Alfetta GTV is a car which has long been praised for its driving attributes, so what better car to turn into a Group B competition car? Well balanced, extremely accurate steering, and the devastating howl of a V6 engine - truly a car not to be messed with, especially in the bends.
This particular example has undergone a full restoration in the early 2000’s and completely converted for racing, including a stripped out interior and cage, lightweight alloys, plexiglass windows, and further hefty upgrades throughout which are not for the faint of heart.

Serious business. There are no creature comforts here - this is as driver focused as you can get! Fully stripped out and caged interior, this Alfa is ripe and ready to be chucked straight back into competition racing with you behind the wheel.
Fitted up front is a Sparco bucket seat, outfitted with a 5-point racing harness to keep you strapped in and supported through any turns and bumps you may encounter.
Directly in front of you sits a detachable steering wheel for ease of access, as we all know too well how difficult it is to get into a caged car without taking the wheel off.

Directly behind the wheel we see the small gauge cluster comprising a speedometer, an oil pressure gauge and a water temperature - truly stripped back to the bare essentials here to ensure no distractions are caused for any pilot of this absolute flying machine. A cut off switch is fitted just adjacent to the steering column as per racing guidelines.
In the rear, well… There isn’t a whole lot to chat about. Mounting points for the roll cage are all welded in place and harness points are secured with traditional eye bolts, as well as some plexiglass windows fitted in place of the side windows. Aside from that, it’s all business!
The Exterior
- Original red colour with a white stripe
- Arch flares painted in white
- Competition sponsorship decals still in place
- OZ Racing Rally wheels in fantastic nick
- Toyo Proxes all round
- Plexiglass side windows
- Headlights replaced with grills
- Aggressive front spoiler
- Bonnet pins
- Single wiper conversion
- Side exit exhaust in front of driver side rear wheel
Born and bred racing aesthetics, outfitted with sponsorship decals throughout and wearing a rather fitting white stripe up the centre of the vehicle - matching up with the white arches and some of the F.A. Racing decals dotted throughout the car.
There’s something about a race car with battle scars that we find unmistakably cool, akin to the patina we see on original classic cars. It adds a plethora of character and it’s something we love to see!

At the front of the car, the Alfa still wears its original Alfa Romeo grill and badge, and the four headlamps have been removed and replaced with grills - one of which has been cut out to make room for intake ducting to that screaming V6 power plant.
Bonnet pins have been added to improve the safety of the bonnet itself, this prevents any high speed failures of the bonnet latch mechanism, this bonnet is also fully detachable from the pins which allows for much more room to move when tinkering around in the engine bay.
The front bumper does show some battle scars, chips, scratches, scuffs - but that’s all in the beauty of a competition car.

Moving around to the side of this charming racer, we’re greeted with OZ Racing Rally wheels which are shod in sticky Toyo Proxes, all wheels appear to be in fantastic shape with no signs of any rock chips or kerb marks.
All body panels here appear to be in good shape with just the expected scratches and scrapes which all competition vehicles wear, and the panel gaps are surprisingly good too.
We also get a glimpse on the driver side of the side-exit exhaust peeking out just in front of the rear wheel, with some heat shielding just above on the bottom portion of the sill.

The rear of the car is much the same - scratches and scuffs that are characteristic of any competition car. Latches have been added onto the boot lid to prevent it from springing open during events and the rear light clusters appear to be in good shape!
Up on the roof we get a good view of the large Alfa Romeo crest and more of the sponsorship decals the car has worn throughout its competition career.
This, of course, is no concourse vehicle, but it has been built to serve a purpose and it has proven itself with race wins time and time again.
Regardless of the imperfections, this is an unarguably pretty racer and is sure to continue to keep bringing in trophies under new custodianship.

The Mechanics
- 3.0 V6 Engine
- Manual transmission
- Rear wheel-drive configuration
- Coil pack conversion
- Intake ducting fed from front headlight
- Meticulously maintained
- Straight-through stainless steel exhaust
- 0-100kph in 6 seconds
Not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure.
This is a race car through and through, and one that carries with it a fair number of wins under its belt, which is a testament to how well built it is and how strongly it performs in demanding conditions.

The owner tells us that the 3.0L V6 engine is now pushing a remarkable 250bhp, and once the car only weighs in at a kit-car like 860kg, it makes for an incredible power-to-weight ratio that will shame many things in its path.
The engine response is fantastic and the steering is sharp and precise, as are the brakes!
This car is itching to get back into competition and show what it’s capable of.

The owner states that a spare engine and gearbox are available with the sale of the vehicle as well as various other parts he has - which is fantastic to have!
Summary
Rare and unarguably pretty.
As stated, there’s something about a racer that wears battle scars that just makes them undeniably cool, it showcases that the car was built and used for a purpose and it has withstood the demanding driver inputs throughout its career.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da 0 € a 9.999 € | 100,00 € |
| Da 10.000 € a 49.999 € | 250,00 € |
| Da 50.000 € a 99.999 € | 500,00 € |
| 100.000 € + | 1.000,00 € |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
