The Appeal
GTV or ‘Gran Turismo Veloces’ is the holy grail of acronyms for Alfa enthusiasts, representing the most performance-oriented cars within the Alfa Romeo range, marketed to - and largely bought by - those with a distinct interest in performance and exhilarating driving experiences.
Of those GTV cars, the 2000 - as seen here - was developed from the 1750 GTV, with enlarged displacement courtesy of the change in bore and stroke to 84 x 88.5mm. US-market cars featured SPICA fuel injection, whilst the rest of the world retained a carburettor-fed engine, though both engines officially produced the same output of 130bhp at 5,000rpm.
This particular example was registered during the second year of 2000 GTV production in 1972, and was purchased by the vendor’s late father in 1980. The car was used and enjoyed as intended, and then passed down to the current owner after his father passed in 1994, and has been dry-stored since, with a major refurbishment in 2008 and exceedingly limited use since.
With fantastic patina and little use since its aforementioned overhaul, this is a tantalising project for anyone looking to take on a GTV and make it their own.
History/Paperwork
- V5 registered keepers document, showing 6 former keepers
- With the same family since 1980
- Originally Beige in colour, the car was re-sprayed in around 1983
- Dry stored since 1994
- Previously overhauled by BenAlfa Cars in Westbury in 2008, along with an MoT being carried out at 70,783 miles, with the following replaced/overhauled: Brake master cylinder, brake callipers x4, discs, brake fluid, handbrake shoes, 2x brake servo units, clutch and master cylinder, carburettor mounts, engine mounts, gearbox mount, wiper motor, new front wheel bearings, rear suspension bushes, top axle bush, prop shaft universal joint, Flexi-hoses, gear lever boot, washer bottle (with electric pump) overhauled starter motor, new tyres, 2x lower ball joints, oil and filter change, new exhaust system, new plugs/points and a tune-up.
- Following the above work, the car was used sparingly for a year amassing 134 miles, and has been laid-up in a dry garage since, being regularly started and warmed-through until around two years ago, when the battery died.
- Numerous old MoT certificates to authenticate the indicated mileage
- Several invoices for miscellaneous work over the years
The Interior
- Very good condition for its age and mileage
- Seats generally in good order, with some rips visible to the driver’s seat
- Fabulous patina on the various chrome details and touch-points
- The vendor states that the gauges and switches all work correctly, with no known faults
- Up above, the headliner shows signs of ageing but is taut throughout
- The high-traffic areas such as the steering wheel and shifter wear a commensurate usage patina, but still present well
- In the boot, the original Ivory colour can be seen, and the spare wheel is present-and-correct
The Exterior
- Originally Ivory, the car was resprayed in the early 1980s
- Outstanding natural patina
- A few bubbles of rust visible around the rear window, lower edge of the windscreen, lower edge of the OSF window, and the OSR wing on the upper edge
- The paintwork is heavily worn, with large chips, micro-blistering, crazing, fading and lyme patches all visible, which have been documented in the gallery below
- The various chrome details, trims and badges are all present-and-correct, and are commensurately worn and faded
- There is a small dent in the NSR wing
- The driver’s door catch requires adjustment, as does the bonnet catch
- All four wheels are worn in keeping with the overall condition of the car, but hold air and are useable as they sit. The tyres were changed in 2008 and have seen limited use since
The Mechanicals
- 2.0-litre twin-cam inline-four engine
- There are not any known mechanical faults, but the car has not been started/run for two years following battery failure
- The vendor suggests that the braking system will need another overhaul due to its time spent sat since its previous work in 2008.
- Underneath, the chassis “looks to be in very good order” and we’ve included a number of underside photographs in the gallery below
Summary
In long-term, enthusiastic family ownership since 1980 and dry-stored, this is an opportunity to obtain a rare and desirable 2000 GTV which is ready to bring back to life, either as a full concours restoration, sympathetic restoration retaining the wonderful patina, or somewhere in-between.

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.
