GTV's are universally considered to be one of the best looking Alfas ever. This fine example had been in a Southern California collection for several years and was already in very nice condition when it underwent a very thorough and thoughtful restoration. The results are quite impressive - a very handsome car with timeless design, well-sorted mechanically, and excellent driving traits.
The looks of the GTV are even more charming today than they were at the car's introduction some 40+ years ago, while the performance is still highly engaging and extremely enthralling.
This stunning coupe is a very usable and reliable example. It fires, idles, and climbs through the revs without hesitation, and the car handles as an Alfa should -- tight and quick. The engine and mechanical rebuild were professional and comprehensive. The brightwork trim retains a highly polished finish, and the lighting equipment is fully functional, clear, and undamaged. The charming, but hunkered down front-engine/rear drive coupe offered seating for four adults and spirited performance. The new monocoque platform was very innovative for the time, and lightweight. Live rear axle, disc brakes in all corners, dual overhead cam, and 5-speed gearbox, all resulted in a very effective combination and an exhilarating driving experience.
Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro while at Bertone, the GTV was a welcome favorite from its introduction, and remaining so through successful iterations through 1975. With its stunning Bertone-designed body, tidy greenhouse, and low but roomy profile, these perfectly proportioned cars received only minor exterior changes as they evolved. The biggest change occurred in 1969 with the elimination of the early "stepped" hood and the change of the nomenclature to GTV. Under the hood was another story altogether. Over the years, the engine displacement grew which altered the GTV's character. The innovative high-revving, carbureted 1570 cc DOHC four (1600) was succeeded by a 1779 cc four (1750) with a SPICA mechanical fuel injection system in the GTV of 1969, and finally the displacement increase to 1962cc (2000) via an increase in bore in 1971.
