The Appeal

Of the many cars that have cemented Alfa Romeo’s reputation, the 2000 GTV has to be one of the most significant. The last and most powerful coupe evolution of the wide-ranging 105-Series model range, this model encapsulates the firm’s ability to build beautiful, delicate and nimble sports cars quite unlike any other car maker.

No wonder, then, that good examples like this one remain in high demand. Its cream paintwork is a welcome change from the more usual reds. Inside and out it is a very well kept car. The vendor tells us that it has never been restored. He also reports that the low displayed 48,624 kms (30,213 miles) is genuine and it has had just three registered keepers.

Few GTVs reach the market as original and well presented as this one. It is now UK registered and was recently treated to a full service by an Alfa Romeo specialist in September. The quality Michelin tyres are also new. A gem of a GTV and we envy the buyer.

The vendor tells us:

“Powered by the 2.0L engine, it offers the best driving experience of the 105 series. Recently serviced and fitted with new tyres, everything about this car points to it being one of the finest, most original Bertone GTVs for sale—anywhere! The level of originality is remarkable, with the only exception being the repaint. Our example is the most original, unmolested, and never-restored car I’ve seen on the market in the UK. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an outstanding, collector-status vehicle.”
