THE APPEAL
The Alfa Romeo GTV like many Italian coupe's was styled at Pininfarina, this time by Enrico Fumia who went on to design the beautiful Maserati 3200GT.
The GTV was initially released in the early ’90s and has remained one of the most distinctive cars of the era. It was the successor to the Alfetta GTV.
Reliability was good with Alfa under the control of Fiat from 1986 and the highly modified chassis based on the Fiat Tipo proved to be very dependable and rigid. This new chassis used on this car was called the Tipo Due (Type 2) platform. They were galvanized which has helped to keep this example we have here in amazing condition.
Alfa were said to have Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Saab in its sights when designing this car, with an emphasis on build quality and design. Even the sports seats have a German feel of solidness and being comfortable and supportive to the driver and passengers over longer distances.
This fine example of the GTV has the Lusso specifications which had some extra features including heated mirrors, spotlights and the sumptuous leather interior. What makes this car so special and desirable though is the sublime V6 3.0-litre, 24-valve engine. It’s rated at 230bhp from its 60 degree angled powerplant with wet liners, sodium-cooled exhaust valves and twin overhead camshaft. The only other place you find engine's like this is in Ferrari's. This example has been methodically maintained throughout its life and recently had all the belts replaced so they shouldn’t need replacing for another 7 years.
THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
- The V5 is present
- The car is in Northern Ireland and originally from the mainland so is a UK car
- Service history with 7 stamps in the book, mainly from specialist Alfa Romeo garages in England
- Folder with the original booklets and paperwork
- 2 keys including the all-important immobilizer key
- Only 87845 miles on the clock
- Major recent service with all fluids and belts changed 300 miles ago at the cost of £700
THE INTERIOR
- Original immobilizer and key in place
- Climate control
- Front electric windows
- Power assisted Steering
- Remote locking works well
- Space saver spare wheel
- Steering wheel rake and reach adjustment
- CD changer in the boot
- Both driver and front passenger have airbags
- The door cards are like new
- All interior bulbs are working
- Stock electrics with no signs of additional immobilizers or similar
- The elegant interior is in excellent condition and is known for being hard wearing
- The Alfa-embossed tan leather in this Lusso model is in extremely good condition remaining soft and supple
- The tan coloured carpets are original and protected by contrasting GTV floor mats
- The vendor assures us the stylish cowled dials and switches all work and there are no electrical issues at all with the car
- There’s not much space in the back and so consequently the rear seats look unused
- The boot is quite small but you still have room for the spare wheel, a golf bag and some shopping. There’s certainly more room than an MR2
- The seats are supportive seats and ergonomically it’s very good for reaching the gearstick
THE EXTERIOR
- Electric mirrors
- Front fog lights
- Alloy wheels in terrific condition
- Body coloured bumpers
- All original paintwork in great condition with only a couple of small marks on the surface paint
- The shells were galvanised when new so in excellent shape
- The rear wheel arches are in good condition with no signs of repair or corrosion
- We couldn’t see any issues with the side skirts of the car. The vendor tells us the paint and bodywork under these is in excellent order
- Three of the jacking points are unmarked but the fourth on the passenger side has been compressed due to someone missing the jacking point. The sill appears unaffected
- The whole car sits high at the rear and low and wide at the front adding to the sense of purpose.
THE MECHANICALS
- The vendor tells us the rubbers and bushes are all in good shape with many recently replaced
- The front McPherson struts and multi- link suspension is tight, the vendor states this makes the car very dependable to drive
- Lively, high revving 240bhp engine has been well maintained since new with a comprehensive service record, mainly from Alfa specialists
- The efficient 240bhp engine combined with lightweight materials gives the car a 0-60 in 6.6 seconds and speed limited to 149mph
- Rear callipers are free and maintained
- Handbrake is working well
- Beautiful engine with stainless pipes, could do with a bit of a clean
- Traction control is standard as is electronic brakeforce distribution (or EBD for short) on the car. This controls the braking action on the rear wheels to prevent them locking and ensures full control of the car in all situations.
- Larger front brake discs than the 2.0 litre version of the GTV.
- Anti roll bar
SUMMARY
This glorious Alfa Romeo GTV isn’t all about speed in a straight line. The front wheel drive and weight distribution makes for a genuinely entertaining driver’s car in most conditions. The GTV’s sharp turn-in, grip and general poise can equal many current performance cars made today.
They have a fabulous, high revving Italian engine that just begs to be driven. The all-alloy V6 24 valve engine it is an absolute work of art both to look at and in engineering terms, and has proved that regular care and maintenance can see these engines go on and on, even when driven hard.

The car has a stiff chassis and well-tuned steering and suspension, making it an extremely engaging car to drive and don’t let the front wheel drive aspect put you off. The vendor tells us this car is a joy to drive enthusiastically, but at the moment it’s not having the fun it deserves.
These very popular, good looking and affordable Italian Coupés are all about style and that is something this GTV has in abundance.

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
