Introduced in 1972, the Alfetta saloon combined a new body shape with - initially - the 1.8-litre version of Alfa Romeo's familiar twin-cam four-cylinder engine. Independent front suspension and a De Dion rear transaxle were features (the latter incorporating a combined gearbox/final drive) as were disc brakes all round. The Alfetta family was extended in 1976 with the arrival of a Giorgetto Giugiaro-styled coupé - the GT - with 1.8-litre engine, which was followed by the GT 1.6 and 2000 GTV, the latter's larger motor producing 122hp at 5,300rpm. A comfortable and capable Grand Tourer, the GTV 2000 remained in production until 1987, with survivors becoming increasingly collectible.
A UK-supplied, right-hand drive, early chrome bumper car, this Alfetta GTV formerly belonged to Autocar journalist Richard Bremner. The car has just undergone a cosmetic restoration, which the vendor assures us is of a high standard. In addition, the engine top-end was overhauled with new valves; the carburettors rebuilt; and the original interior cleaned and re-coloured. The car is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate and comes with a very good history file of bills, photographic record of restoration etc.
