1980 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV 2. 0 Strada

The GTV was featured in the November 2021 edition of Practical Classics magazine where they re-enacted a three way review of the BMW 323i, the Saab 99 Turbo & the Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV, which they'd done 40 years previously. This review was filmed and featured in a televised episode of Salvage Hunters. The GTV was also on display at this years' AROC National Alfa Day at Bicester Heritage.

It's a low mileage, low owner car, with only 5 previous owners and 53, 000 documented miles on the clock. It's been cared for meticulously throughout its 44 year life which shows in its extensive curated service history file with invoices and MOT's dating back to 1984.

The GTV was off the road and garaged between 2001 and 2009.
An extensive amount of mechanical servicing work was carried out during this time, which included the engine having the bottom end rebuilt and various perishable rubber mounts replaced too.
The carburettors were reconditioned in 2009.
The front brake callipers were replaced with reconditioned units in 2010.
The rear brake callipers were replaced with reconditioned units in 2011

In 2018 a full recommission began on the car by its last owner, which included 2 new left/ right lower front wing repair sections, a lower rear quarter repair section and an outer sill panel. All professionally welded in. The front suspension castor arms were modified to the earlier 105 ball joint type, this tightens up the front suspension feel.

Furthermore in 2018:
An RSR 30mm front anti roll bar was fitted.
All window rubbers, seals, door seals, frame channel felt were all replaced. As were the engine bay bulkhead grommets.
New heater valve & oil pressure sender.
Front suspension upper, lower ball joints & track rod ends.
Steering rack gaiters. Front brake flexi hoses.
Fuel hoses front & rear.

In 2019, the engine was fully rebuilt, lightened and balanced.
With new timing chains, piston rings and the Dellorto DHLA carburettors rebuilt. Valve buckets all correctly re-shimmed. A 1-2-3 Distributor and Petronix ignition coil were fitted too.
Also in this year, fitted were:
A new headlining
A new Italian made carpet set
Koni Sport Adjustable Shocks
Eibach Lowering Springs
Front end lowered on torsion bars

In 2020,
Under our ownership, the underneath has been fully treated with Dinitrol products by Alex Jupe Motorsport.
2 new oval type door mirrors
A NOS Sanyo early 80s FM Stereo
A Retrofitted 12V Twin USB connectivity in place of original cigarette lighter.
Rebuilt dynamically balanced propshaft.
New Momo Vega Alloys Fitted in 2020 + 4 matching Continental tyres.
New rear wing mounted telescopic aerial.

In 2024,
The gearbox was rebuilt with a new 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear syncro.

Interior in excellent condition as is the paintwork condition
Registered as a historic vehicle, MOT and Tax exempt.
If the new owner wishes, the car can be supplied with a new MOT certificate.
