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. Early one morning at the lake in Laveno, Italy, our neighbor started something that spluttered, had a snarl and came to life with -quite a bit- blue smoke. The 1750 GTV from the 105 branch in the Alfa family tree. To this day, one of the most beautiful coupes ever made, we think. The lines that are not too much, but beautiful. No bells and whistles, but the important things are accentuated a little extra. From the enthusiast for the enthusiast.
The road behavior of the 1750 and 2000 GTV is also exactly what you would expect from a legendary Romeo. Tight on the road, a lot of contact with the asphalt and pushing in the lower back due to the rear-wheel drive. When your ‘oil’ meter is in the middle, the sound comes along. Because that is so good! Between 5 and 6 thousand rpm she drives best, she sounds healthiest and as soon as you let go of the gas; just enough afterburning. No DSG crackling of the modern VW Golfs, but the real afterburning. You can feel your chest hair growing with every downshift!
Ours is finished in Blanco Pieso and was completely restored in Belgium a few years ago. She has hardly been driven in the past 5 years and we have removed the dust. She is ready for many smiles a litre again. Ci vediamo presto?
