After 9 years ownership, including recommission & respray, I am looking for a change. Might consider an Alfa 916 GTV TS in part exchange.
Drives well with smooth gear changes, including 2nd. Interior in very good condition - lush velour upholstery, recaro-style seats and bespoke floor mats.
Inspired by my older brother owning an Alfetta GTV in the 1980s my interest in Italian cars, and Alfa Romeo in particular, was born. In 2015 I became the proud owner of one myself, having previously owned a Sud Sprint Veloce, Lancia HPE Volumex and more recently a Mito.
I bought it from the owner of Langtree Motors in Glasgow, who acquired it himself in 2004 from a long-standing customer.
I’ve enjoyed trips to many car shows across northern England and Scotland as well as twice to Bicester. Feted by the motoring press for Giorgetto Giugiaro’s stylish teardrop design. The 50:50 weight distribution provided by the rear transaxle, along with in-board rear discs and De Dion rear suspension provide superb handling. Coupled with the 2 litre version of Alfa’s classic twin-cam alloy ‘Nord’ engine fed by a pair of twin-choke side draught carburettors it’s a joy to drive on A roads.
