Lot details Registration No: SAV256M Chassis No: 2414018 Mot Expiry: Feb 2006
Arguably one of the best-looking Alfa Romeos ever made and a true motoring icon, the Giulia Sprint GT was launched in 1963. Penned by Bertone, its two-door coupe bodyshell was based on the Milanese manufacturer's highly regarded 105-series platform. Equipped with all round coil-sprung suspension, progressive dampers and well weighted steering, it handled with typical Italian brio. Evolved in line with its saloon sibling, the compact GT's model range was extended in 1971 to include the revised 2000 GTV. Fitted with an enlarged 1962cc 'twin-cam' engine developing some 131bhp and 134lbft of torque, it inherited the longer wheelbase platform and all wheel disc brakes of its older 1750 GTV sibling.
This particular right-hand drive example was imported from South Africa about four years ago. Finished in metallic green with white leather upholstery, it is reputedly one of just a hundred 2000GTVs to have been manufactured with three-speed automatic transmission. Rated by the vendor as being in good overall condition (some superficial spots to the paintwork apart), it benefits from a stainless steel exhaust and factory sun roof. Believed but not warranted to have had just three owners and covered a mere 85,000kms from new, it is said to "drive very well". A previous 'best of show' winner, it is offered for sale with history file, MOT certificate valid until February 2006 and road tax until January 2006.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
