1983 Alfa Romeo GTV6
Highlights
- Registered as a historic vehicle
- Only 10,000 miles driven in the last 14 years
- Recent maintenance undertaken
- Originally silver, now in a striking blue from the Alfa Romeo palette
- Features original factory alloys, an expensive optional extra in 1983
The Appeal
Let's get down to brass tacks - the GTV6 is a work of athletic art. Loaded with the 60° Busso V6, with a De Dion rear suspension - stuck on a shortened Alfetta chassis. That's an incredible bit of spec, and one that enabled these swept-back sport cars to conquer the European Touring Car Championship for three years straight, alongside the BTCC and Tour de Corse.
It's little wonder they've become such a prized classic. That's a pedigree that most motorists can only dream of, and coupling it together with that legendary Italian styling - wedge shaped, angular and veering towards retro-futurism in its nature.
With only 10,000 miles covered in the last 14 years, this rich blue example is utterly solid and has been sparingly used. It comes to us in highly original condition, ready and waiting to inflict its winning soundtrack on your eyes and show off its abilities on the asphalt.

The Condition
- Originally silver, now in a blue, taken from the Alfa Romeo palette, seen on the V8 Montreal
- Bodywork looks in very good order, including the chassis and underside
- Small area of corrosion where the back bumper meets the body
- However, this is non-structural and of no serious concern

- Black pinstripe interior with a manual sunroof
- Interior is in fine order, with very nicely presented seats

- Manual transmission with 5 gears
- Features a 5-speed transaxle gearbox with no problems selecting 1st or 2nd gear
- Equipped with an Ansa sports exhaust, which, coupled with the famous Busso V6, sounds 'intoxicating'
- The vendor informs us that the engine and handling are superb
