1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV, This 1974 Alfa Romeo 200 GTV descends from an incredible design and configuration course of development. Specifically, this example is a solid driver that is largely original., History, Introduced as a more powerful derivative of the original 105-Series Giulia Sprint GT Coupe, the 2000 GTV was one of the last classic Alfa Romeo designs developed under the leadership of Orazio Satta Puliga, one of the greatest of Italian automobile engineers, who had been responsible for all the post-war Alfas., First introduced in 1962, the early Giulia differed from the outwardly similar 101-Series Giulitte by virtue of its more powerful and much less fussy 1,570cc engine, which continued when the new 105-Series Giulia was introduced later that same year. Despite its boxy, unitary construction body, the newcomer was a paragon of aerodynamic efficiency and possessed a distinctly sporting nature; the 92bhp produced by its classic twin-cam four-cylinder engine making the Giulia TI a genuine 100mph car. Under the skin, the Giulia featured a five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-sprung live rear axle and -apart from early cars- disc brakes all around, a formula that carried over in the coupe version, the Giulia Sprint GT., Launched in 1963 the Sprint GT was clothed in beautifully balanced four-seater coachwork designed by Carrozzeria Bertone's Giorgetto Giugiaro, but now manufactured at Alfa's new Arese factory. It represented a successful attempt to produce a typically sporting Alfa coupe for the young family man, a modestly priced four-seater combining the elegance of a Bertone-designed body with the performance of a twin-cam engine., As one would expect from Alfa Romeo, there was also a competition version - the ‘GTA' - the ‘A' standing for “alleggerita,' meaning “lightened.' Produced in road and race variants, the latter, the usual, being the responsibility of Autodelta, the GTA made its racing debut on March 20, 1966 at Monza, Andrea de Adamich and Teodoro Zeccoli triumphing in the Jolly Club Four-Hour Race. From then on, the Autodelta-prepared GTAs enjoyed outstanding success, winning the European Touring Car Championship three years running from 1966-68., Introduced in 1971, the 200 GTV was the final version of the classic 105-Series Alfa Romeo. There were no major styling changes made by Bertone, merely a new grille, the body remaining the same as the preceding 1600 and 1750 models. Representing the final enlargement of Alfa's legendary twin-cam four, the 1,962cc engine produced 132bhp which was delivered to the road via a five-speed gearbox and limited-slip differential. Torqueir, then its 1750 predecessor, the 200 GTV was good for a top speed of 120mph., Specifically, this example is a solid driver that is largely original. The audio system has been upgraded to today's standards. Recently the car has gone through a complete service at marque-specialists Automotive Restorations, Inc. Both the paint and interior are in very presentable condition along with the mechanicals. This is a good example for the casual collator or person who enjoys driving an older machine., Specifications, Chassis: 3023221, Engine: 1962 cc in-line four, Transmission: Five-speed, Brakes: four-wheel disc, Color: Silver/Black,, $21,000 ,, Advertiser Since 1985
