This lovely Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV Series I was delivered new in Italy in 1969. We have now requested the Alfa Heritage certificate but in 1999 the car was exported to The Netherlands to be used for rallies. The car was a very good and very original 1st series 1750 GTV and the owner decided to prepare the car for historic regularity rallying. All standard trim was carefully taken out and rally seats fitted. A limited slip differential was also fitted for fast road use. Sports suspension and alloy wheels complemented the car. The car then participated in the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Tulpen Rallye. In between the engine was rebuilt and a new clutch fitted among other things. Many invoices for servicework accompany the car. In 2012 the current owner acquired the car. In the last 12 years the car saw regular maintenance always at one of our recommended mechanics. Recently the car was serviced again, new Michelin tires were fitted and the car was professionally detailed. Since then only a few hundred kilometers were put on the car.

The quality of the bodywork is very good and original, as is the panel fit. The sills and door fit perfectly. The paintwork is older of good quality but some orange peeling in the paint is visible so could use a good sanding of the paint. The interior is fine and original after 55 years of age. The seats still have the original vinyl from 1969 in very good shape. The engine is strong, does not smoke, has good oil pressure and the gearbox is sweet without any cracks even when shifting down. The rear axle works well, nice and quiet. This example runs and drives very well and comes with a fresh APK for a new owner (MOT/TUV/CT). The gearbox is very smooth and like any classic Alfa Romeo, the sound is beautiful!

The car comes with many invoices since 2006 showing an engine rebuilt and several valuation reports, an expired FIVA card, some nice rally pictures and Dutch registration. Many enthusiasts think the 1750 is the sweetest engine of all series. Complete with its matching nr. Tipo 548 engine, this is an interesting car for any Alfa enthusiast!

The price is Euro 54.500,-.

Model history

The Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce, also known as the 1750 GTV, entered production in late 1967 together with the 1750 Berlina sedan and the 1750 Spider. This model replaced the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce and introduced many updates and modifications. The engine displacement was increased to 1779cc, producing now 118 hp at 5500 rpm. Significant modifications on the chassis, brakes and suspension resulted in a much better handling. Externally, the front grill style changed a lot. The step-front (Scalino) disappeared and 4 headlamps were fitted instead of 2. The 1750 GTV was a sporting GT, combining the high speeds, handling, safety and braking of a competitive car with real elegance, refinement and comfort.

Alfa Romeo made 2 series of the 1750 GTV and the 2nd series is easily recognizable due to the different bumpers and turn signal lights. The Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV was a sporting GT, combining the high speeds, handling, safety and braking of a competitive car with real elegance, refinement and comfort.

The basic body shape shared by all 105/115 series coupés was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for Bertone, and borrowed heavily from his earlier design for the Alfa Romeo 2000 Sprint/2600 Sprint. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were groundbreaking styling features for the era.

All models featured the four cylinder, light alloy Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine in various cubic capacities from 1290 cc to 1962 cc, all with two valves per cylinder. All versions of this engine fitted to the 105 series coupés featured twin carburettors, except for US market 1750 GTV and 2000 GTV cars which were fitted with fuel injection. Competition models featured cylinder heads with twin spark plugs. Common to all models was also a 5-speed manual transmission and disc brakes on all four wheels. The rear suspension uses a beam axle with coil springs. Air conditioning and a limited slip rear differential were optional on the later models.
