Legendary Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo carried out three significant updates to their popular 916 Series GTV coupé during its production run between 1995 and 2004. The Phase II version such as this example was launched in 1998 and featured colour-coded sills and front and rear bumper skirts, and also a revised dashboard centre console with a silver painted finish. The leather seats were finished in fluted Momo leather. Build quality was much improved although performance was similar with the 2.0 Twin Spark engine delivering about 150 bhp through its front-wheel-drive five-speed gearbox.
With its striking wedge-shaped styling, the Alfa Romeo GTV was one of the bolder design efforts of the 1990s, and as modern cars become increasingly indistinct, the GTV looks more appealing by the day. This example is especially so, as it appears in fine order having covered just 88,000 miles from new with only six registered keepers, including one long-term owner from April, 2000, to late 2018. Finished in its beautiful original colour scheme of Azzurro Nuvola Pearl with a Black leather interior and equipped with the desirable 2.0 Twin Spark engine, it has benefitted from much recent maintenance including the fitment of new front brake discs and pads in 2021, replacement of the timing belt, water pump and drive belt in 2022, and fitment of a new clutch, plus slave and master cylinders, in 2023. Since May, 2024, the Alfa Romeo has not been in use, but the vendor advises that it will be issued with a fresh MOT ahead of the sale.
Between 1994 and 2004, total GTV production reached 42,937 units, but when did you last see one on the road?
