1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV

A rare UK right hand drive car that has undergone substantial work in attractive Rosso red.

The GTV is one of Alfa Romeo’s best-loved and most iconic designs, an elegant sporting grand tourer. Powered by the twin Weber-carburetted 1.8-litre naturally aspirated twin-cam inline-four, delivering 120bhp to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. 

The vendor purchased the Alfa as a project in 2015 when it had been off the road since 2003. It was apparently in a bit of a sorry state. Since then substantial work has been undertaken to get the car in to it’s current condition.

This has included: new brake master cylinder and all four brake calipers; new brake discs; 2 brake servos reconditioned; suspension rebuilt with new uprated bushes,  4 x new Koni Classic adjustable shock absorbers, 4 x new Eibach springs 40mm lower; new wheel bearings; new coolant hoses; radiator recored; new clutch master and slave cylinders; new fuel tank sender; carburettor service kit; reconditioned alternator and 4 x new tyres.

The dashboard top and the interior is all up together and the car has also undergone a respray in Rosso red. The engine and gearbox have not been touched only new oil etc… Invoices to the above works are available.

The car hasn’t  been used much recently, covering only 300 miles since it was returned to the road in 2019, and it has an MOT until August 2023 with no advisories recorded.
