The Alfa Romeo 2000 GT Veloce is a motor car of enduring style and mechanical pedigree. Increasingly scarce, just 155 examples are believed to remain on UK roads. At its heart lies the ultimate evolution of Alfa Romeo’s legendary twin-cam, four-cylinder engine. Displacing 1962cc and delivering an impressive 132 brake horsepower, it is paired to a five-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. These features together provide a rewarding and engaging driving experience. Notably torquier than its 1750 predecessor, the 2000 GTV offers effortless performance and is capable of achieving a top speed in the region of 120 miles per hour.
This particular 2000 GTV is finished in the quintessential shade of ‘Alfa Rosso’, over a black leatherette-trimmed interior, with wood veneer inlays. Standard and unmolested, removing the carpets and rear seat base reveals no nasty repairs or unsightly corrosion, although there are some minor paint blemishes, particularly to the boot edge. The driver’s seat upholstery has split, along with the headrest above - both would now benefit from some attention.
Consigned to us following a period of dry storage, ‘OPU 481M’ ran and drove well during our recent photographic shoot. However, it may now require some light recommissioning before tackling a major road trip. Conservatively guided and offered for sale with an Alfa Romeo branded indoor car cover and workshop manual.
