Description

  • Rare right-hand drive example presented in classic Alfa colours with Biancospino paintwork and Nero interior
  • The beautiful Bertone-styled lightweight body presents rather well and the car is described as on-the-button
  • Attractive and characterful Italian sports coupe with a lively 1779cc twin-cam with 120bhp delivered to the rear wheels through a 5-speed gearbox
  • The car's history file includes FIVA papers valid to 2028, the V5c, import paperwork and various other documents
  • Timeless and attractive classic Alfa, a connoisseurs choice, full of Italian spirit and a rare sight on UK roads

Offered here is a rare right-hand drive Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce Coupe finished in Biancospino (white) with a Nero (black) interior. It's a Series 2 car with 'hanging' pedals, better brakes, improved seating and a few more bhp. The car formed part of a private collection sourced then imported from Cyprus as a solid right-drive model benefiting from the warm climate and a recent good quality overhaul. The exterior presents rather well having been subject to a relatively recent restoration and upon inspection the fit and finish is very good. The interior presents well overall with just some small areas to improve, including the dash covering which has lifted slightly due to the heat from the Cyprus sunshine, allowing the next owner to add further value to this collectable classic.

At the time of cataloguing the odometer read 8,721km and accompanying the car is a history file which contains the car's FIVA ( Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens) papers (granted in 2014 and valid for 10 years), its current V5c, import documents and various other items of paperwork. On test, the engine fired into life with ease and sounded healthy with a raspy induction and exhaust note only produced by the glorious Alfa twin-cam.

In summary, this is a great opportunity to own a delightful, right-hand drive 1750 GTV that would benefit from some further detailing, lifting the car to the next level. Offered at a realistic guide, this is a cool classic allowing the next custodian to add some further value.
