$38,995
Seller's Description
Revealed in 1972, Giorgetto Giugiaro’s striking Alfetta fastback wedge design directly resulted from the challenging brief of delivering a replacement for Alfa Romeo’s successful predecessor being the 105 series car. The final design wowed the public and its stunning looks are as beautiful today as they were some fifty years ago.
Our car; chassis ****3853.
The current owner of this car is the former Test Cricketer Greg Ritchie who has owned 4 Alfetta GTV’s and is fanatical about them. He purchased this car 7 years ago with the intention of fulfilling the lifelong ambition of taking a GTV6 to next level in terms of performance, comfort, and condition.
He took the car which he’d owned for 2 years and then set about a full body restoration removing any corrosion and replacing with new metal where required. Originally silver, the car was repainted in correct Rosso 530. A full photographic record of this work accompanies the car. The paint shows some signs of wear with some stone chips to the front area and door edges. A sunroof is fitted however this has been sealed.
The real focus was on the performance and a 3.0 V6 was sourced, completely rebuilt, and installed into the car. The performance of the motor was also improved, and the result is a car that is simply thrilling drive with an intoxicating engine note from its legendary ‘Busso’ V6.
All work including the full engine rebuild was conducted by known specialists and this is documented.
The interior was in excellent original order; however, the owner wished to improve the seating and sourced both front and rear seats in full leather. They are incredibly comfortable whilst the original ‘net’ head rests are a particularly appealing feature. Where required the gauges were restored and overall, the interior now presents extremely well, and is a lovely place to be.
There is one small crack on the dash, but this is out of line of sight. The air-conditioning unit works perfectly and has been recently serviced. Every electrical item works as it should and even the clock keeps perfect time.
Turn the key and the car starts with a familiar Alfa Romeo growl. Blip the throttle and the V6 provides its appealing tone. Out on the open road this car is exceptional and its lift in performance is very noticeable particularly in the mid-range where the additional torque is beneficial. When you push the ‘loud pedal’ this car really wants to go and keep going!
Ordinarily the gearbox’s on GTV’s can be a little vague, however with recent work done this example it is precise and easy to work very quickly through the gears. Likewise, the brakes and steering are incredibly good, inspiring confidence when you want to push on.
The car is ready to deliver more thrills to its next owner with the benefit of recent investment of over $30,000 of work. Whilst not for the purist it is a sorted Alfa Romeo that will always deliver a very memorable and rewarding driving experience. The car has been recently serviced and is located on the Gold Coast.
