The Appeal

Replacing the long-lived Alfetta GTV was never to be an easy task for Alfa Romeo, but they rose to the challenge with the front-wheel drive 916 which proved a strong seller for over a decade.

Here we have the ultimate version of the GTV, powered by Alfa's jewel-like 3.0-litre Busso V6. With its Pininfarina lines clad in Nuvola Blue, complemented by Alfa's trademark five-hole 'teledial' alloys, this is a particularly handsome example.

Lowered by 30 mm and equipped with a custom cat-back exhaust, this GTV has been much-loved over the years by all its three keepers, although is now in need of some refurbishment. Since it's so highly specced and equipped with one of the best engines ever made, this GTV is eminently worthy of your attention.
