1971 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 | MotorWeek Tire Tracks

[@frhaber]

In 1969 a local dealer handled both Jaguar an Alfa Romeo. My visit included a test drive of an E-Type and the 1750. I have to admit I fell in love with the E-Type, and to this day it's still my dream car. That said, when the salesman handed me the keys to the 1750, he said to have fun. If I was just going to putter around town, don't bother going out. He suggested some hilly, twisty nearby country roads. To this day, I can still clearly remember how much fun that test drive was.

When I saw the thumbnail I thought “wait, MotorWeek wasn’t around back then… was it?” Lol

8 years ago I obtained my dream car, '74 2.0 GTV. Almost finished with the restoration. Blessed )

[@andybroer651]

I used to own a 1972 GTV2000 injection car, Plum color over tan. Painstakingly repainted in its original hue and everything else cleaned and polished to near perfection. The car was a little jewel and now lives with a Billionaire's wife near London, UK. Such a great little car.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Man what a beautiful car that is! One classic beauty and very highly collectible! They’re skyrocketing in price!

[@nakoma5]

Yeah, though they seem to be going average 50K, not near 100K as MW states.

[@IROCMAN666]

Thank you so much, in Europe, this car is a legend ! Greetings from France !

[@carlobonandin2440]

I love this car !

[@GForceVRX]

Such a gorgeous classic!

[@XT2KF]

Einer der schönsten Sport Coupés überhaupt und das können die Italiener und da macht ihn niemand. Ich betone niemand etwas vor. Ein wunderschönes Auto. Beste Grüße aus Deutschland nach Italien. Ihr seid die besten was Design betrifft, was Essen betrifft, was Mode betrifft und ihr habt immer geiles Wetter. Beste Grüße.

Back at the time here in Italy there was a power limit to what you could drive for the first 3 years after getting the license, so the game was between the Alfa Junior 1.3 and the Lancia Fulvia coupé 1.3s. The Lancia won, and I really enjoyed it, but I would love to try out the Alfa... 😁

[@jareknowak8712]

Fulvia coupe - another great toy, but FWD. You can buy like 4 Fulvias for one GTV.

[@techtoth1]

@@jareknowak8712 Yeah, but as a beginner's car a fwd was a safer choice. Oversteer came just if provoked, never unexpectedly, so it allowed me to get out of the first years alive... 😁Got a rwd Alfa years later; a 75. Totally appalling. A real let down.

[@marial8235]

Such a lovely little work of art.❤

[@RushLimpball]

I miss the days when cars were small and easy to park.

[@TimGi1]

Italian Classic at it’s best! 👍🇮🇹😎✌️

[@fernandorocha8459]

Beautiful this Alfa classic

[@Sanpedranoazul]

Love this section of Classics Reviews!!!

[@landyachtfan79]

MOLTO BENE!!!!!!!!

[@dohc1067]

Imo reminds me of the classic Jaguar on the sides and BMW 318 at least when the video popped up. I think I see some Aston Martin too. Nice, sporty, and classical.

[@chrisfreemesser5707]

If you like Alfas check out the Roadster Life channel here on YT...tons of great vids on Italian classics like this GTV

[@roberthoyt7921]

What a beauty.

[@fadd6895]

Hey MotorWeek - make more classics vids like this one . 💯

[@santosh911]

More reviews of classic cars please. Stuck to the '60s and '70s cars that still can be used regularly. Brands like Volvo, BMW, Jaguar, and Mercedes are still usable today and don't cost a fortune to buy and run. And review an electric classic conversion that is affordable by regular people.

[@JarmelSingsKaraoke]

Love ya MOTORWEEK

[@tomtraynor5384]

This over a same period BMW 2002--am I wrong?

[@3ducs]

The 2002 is much roomier, the Alfa "backseat" is a joke. But the Alfa is a prettier car.

[@andreyavramov9326]

Correct

[@stevenfernando1842]

Giugiaro’s first design was the Alfa Romeo 2000 (and 2600) Sprint.

[@jerryc6497]

I want a GTV 1750 myself

[@kimallen4132]

This Alfa wasn't the first designed by GG, that was the 2600 when he first joined Bertone.

[@jamesstuart3346]

Pretty car but someone needs to look underneath it

[@AlBeZed]

it's a 1750 front and dash and a 2000 wheel and back end. this is how quick it is.

[@Boa74]

The US version is like that. In Europe only the 2000 had those big rear lights

[@ricepony33]

If you want one I’m helping an older gentleman find a buyer.

[@JettRink-b8k]

The steel wheels are the best of all.

[@3ducs]

These are alloy wheels, check them at 2:43.

[@ursus9104]

No, no, no It was the masterpiece of Bertone. It even has his badge on the front wing.

[@jareknowak8712]

...another one for which is too late to buy bc of the rise in prices :[

[@fb3824]

yep. regretful ex owner here...

[@3ducs]

Quite a bit of resemblance to the Ferrari 330 GTC.

[@keewatin427]

I love the GTV. This colour is terrible, though.
