Description
When you think of Alfa Romeos from the 60s and 70s, the 105 Series Coupé designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone is usually first thing that comes to mind. Not only does it stand out as one of the most visually appealing and agile classic saloon cars of its time, but its advanced specifications, including a five-speed gearbox, all-round disc brakes, independent front suspension and potent twin-cam engine, continue to outshine many of its contemporary counterparts.
The 2000 GT Veloce, more commonly referred to as the 2000 GTV, represented the ultimate of the series, replacing the 1750 GTV in 1971 and continuing to the end of series production in 1977. The previous smaller engine was adapted to give it a larger bore and stroke, achieving a near enough 2-litre (1962cc) capacity and producing 131bhp, up 10bhp from the 1750 GTV.
First registered in October 1972, this peppy 2000 GTV has covered 107, 296 miles in its 52 year life. A comprehensive documented history file with invoices dating back to 1992 evidence regular servicing over the years right up to its most recent service in September 2024, as part of its pre-sales preparation.
It was subject to a comprehensive restoration costing over £20, 000, from the period November 2020 to March 2021, which entailed a full bare metal strip down, corrosion repairs and full respray. In addition, invoice history evidences a cylinder head rebuild, carburettors rebuild, gearbox rebuild including clutch replacement, suspension upgrades with a Harvey Bailey handling kit, all within the last 12, 000 miles.
Most recent works include, replacement of the carburettor mounts, fuel hoses and gaskets as well as fitment of a brand new steering idler box.
Finally, as part of the pre-sales preparation the car was subject to a full bodywork paint correction and detailing, engine bay and interior deep clean and detailing and an underside deep clean and preservation treatment, at a total cost of £4000.
The car now looks superb inside and out and is well protected underneath. In addition, it has benefitted from significant investment to date, to keep it a lovely driving car for very many years/ miles to come.
It’s a car to be enjoyed and driven, so as to experience to the full, what an incredible drive these pretty little Italian coupés are and not just a “show pony,” destined to be kept under cover in a static collection.
