The story behind this collectible...
Congratulations to all who take their passion to the highest level. La meccanica delle emozioni ! - Alfa Romeo
Special cars always stay with you, especially that first encounter. One early morning at the lake in Laveno, Italy, our neighbor started something that simmered, and came to life with - quite a bit of - blue smoke. The 1750 GTV of the 105 branch in the Alfa family tree. To this day, one of the most beautiful coupés ever made, in our opinion. The interplay of lines which is just enough, and simply beautiful. No bells and whistles, but the important things are accentuated. From a lover for a lover.
The handling of the 1750 GTV is also exactly what you expect from a legendary Romeo. Quick on the road, lots of contact with the asphalt, and the push in the lower back from the rear-wheel drive. When your 'olio' meter is in the middle, a magnificent sound is added. And how good that is! Between 5 and 6 thousand rpm, she rides best, sounds healthiest, and as soon as you release the throttle; precisely enough afterburning. No DSG crackling of the modern VW Golfs, but a real afterburn. You can feel your chest hair grow every time you shift back!
Ours is executed in Giallo Ocra and is still completely original and undamaged. The FIA certificate is included, which means that the tour and rally rides can all be driven with this machine for purists. It has barely been driven in the last 15 years and we have cleaned it from the dust. She is ready for a lot of smiles a litre again. Ci vediamo presto?
