1978 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV 2 litre twin cam - 36,000 miles.
An absolutely original early red Alfetta GTV which has covered just 36,000 miles and is therefore a delight to drive with a fine engine, smooth transaxle gearbox and enjoyable handling for those who like to actually drive their cars. The underside is a work of art if you are at all mechanically minded, with the layout and engineering a throwback to a time when not all cars were created equally.
The interior is original right down to the carpets, with grey velour seats in fine condition and a period radio/cassette. The bodywork wears the original paint which is not perfect, there being a few blemishes and some touched in scratches, but it still presents extremely nicely overall and has been cared for in my ownership with Swissol wax. The car has never required any welding and is 100% excellent underneath, having been undersealed & waxoyled many years ago, but were I to be keeping it I would soon address some small areas of flaking paint on the drivers side. The grubby appearance in theengine bay and door shuts is the result of dust on the wax, but this has preserved the car extremely well and would clean off easily enough.
The set of rare and valuable period Momo wheels may have been on the car from new, as even the spare matches. All the tyres are fully treaded and there is a full "Ansa" exhaust and tubular exhaust manifold fitted, plus a fair amount of history and manuals included. I would suggest that this beautiful car will appeal to the purist who admires the stylish Alfetta design as Guigiaro intended it to be and the fine chassis balance you can enjoy with the classic twin cam engine. It certainly invites many compliments and I am very sadly parting with it!
