Manufactured in late 1971, Originally registered in Cyprus in early 1972 and kept by its one and only owner until 2014 before making its way to the Channel Islands, then the UK. Living in a dry salt free climate explains it’s condition. It has been painted in its life, but there are no signs of any welding, any new panels, or repairs. The side sills are original and in excellent condition, and the floors are solid throughout. The doors shut with ease – a rarity on these cars!
The interior is very original, and in excellent condition. There is no damage to the dashboard. The door cards are excellent too. The seats are fully supportive, with no sagging. There is a shallow rip to the drivers seat. The headlining is perfect.
Mechanically, the car has had a fortune spent in the last few thousand miles, this includes a new clutch, with master cylinder and slave cylinder, a full brake system overhaul including an upgrade to twin servos (as per 2000GTV); the discs, pads and calipers have been renewed in the last year, as well as the brake fluid. The suspension has been upgraded to the Classic Alfa handling kit, including Bilstein shocks, Lowering springs, a larger anti roll bar, new drop links, new steering arm bushes, castor arm bushes and a recent geo. Engine mounts and gearbox mount have been renewed, as well as the doughnut driveshaft coupling. Both Weber carburettors have been rebuilt, there is now a 123 electronic ignition, and an uprated coil. A Facet “Race” fuel pump has also been fitted. The steering box was renewed recently, with a new casing. A new wiper motor, new radiator with associated hoses, fanbelt, a new water pump. The rear silencer was also replaced with a new unit.
In addition to the above, various chrome parts have been replaced, including both front and rear bumpers, front grill and badge, and the headlight surrounds.
The wheels were replaced with GTA style 7x15” with Yokohama tyres, the spare wheel also wears a new tyre too.
The total expenditure of the items listed above is over £15, 000.
In the last few months, it has had a full engine service including all fluids including the diff and gearbox as well as the spark plugs.
Tax and MOT Exempt, although it has been MOT’D annually, and has a current MOT until next year. Insurance is also very cheap at around £150.
It comes with its original stamped service book, original owner’s manual, thousands of pounds of receipts, the original tool kit, jack, and knee pad, a spare wheel, 3 sets of keys and a genuine Nardi Torino steering wheel. There is a documented speedo change at circa 47k miles.
