The 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce Bertone Series 1 is among the purest and most desirable coupés Alfa Romeo ever produced. In this early version, the model stayed clear of later aesthetic changes and retains its elegant, original lines designed by Carrozzeria Bertone. This example was originally sold new in Turin and is presented in the highly sought-after original Dark Blue (“Dutch Blue”) paired with a brown interior, specific to the first series. This sober, extremely elegant colour combination perfectly flatters the timeless proportions of the Bertone body and is highly valued by connoisseurs and collectors.
Under the bonnet lies the 1, 779 cc twin-cam four-cylinder engine, producing 118 hp, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. Thanks to four-wheel disc brakes and a balanced chassis, this GTV offers a lively, precise and pure road feel. It is a true driver’s car, faithful to classic Alfa Romeo tradition: mechanical, direct and unfiltered.
The vehicle has undergone a thoroughly performed restoration in the past, documented in a dossier. Authenticity has been preserved, with the original specifications and details maintained. Recent investments include: – New stainless steel exhaust system – New shock absorbers – New rear bumper – Functional period-style radio with original power antenna.
The bodywork has been professionally repainted and presents well, with light signs of use consistent with a correctly used classic vehicle. A small corrosion spot is visible on the front right edge of the door. The undercarriage is original and in good condition, with recent work, though traces of grease are visible.
The interior is original and shows signs of use. The seats show tears, including the driver's seat. The chassis number is original, correctly positioned and clearly legible in the engine bay. The engine bay presents an honest and correct state, with grease traces and a slight oil leak at the engine and gearbox.
Mechanically, the vehicle is in decent, honest condition. The engine is original, recently rebuilt and well-tuned. Some maintenance will be required. The battery will need replacement in the short term. The clutch and gearbox operate correctly. The brakes work well, but the handbrake needs adjustment; during a braking test, a 50% discrepancy was measured. Electrically, the horn functions, the dashboard is operational, but the windscreen wipers do not work. Lighting functions correctly. Suspension and axles operate properly.
In summary, this is a rare, elegant, correct 1750 GTV Series 1 with original specifications, solid provenance and an highly attractive configuration. It is a model that will sit perfectly in a demanding collection, while being ready to hit the road again.
