Nice car. Not sure they're worth the extra but tbh if someone owns any Alfa Romeo, which I don't and probably never will be able to, then good on them for taking the plunge and buying something different and exclusive

The cup runs a totally different Recaro seat to the regular GTV Momo leather. It’s also called up a Cup as it was used in a racing series
@ItaliaAutos Жыл бұрын
Pretty sure the only difference with the seats are the cloth insert.
@rezaq1 Жыл бұрын
@@ItaliaAutos look again. The bolstering is different and the seating depth. On the Momo, you sit ON the seat and it’s awful. In the Cup, you fall INTO it

Yeah, the seat is a different beast, a definite improvement.

Thanks for another good video. Saw an '05 phase 3 Spider 3.2 V6 for sale on Autotrader recently for a shade under £7.5k with 17" rims and lovely interior (but higher mileage). Would still be a great investment and open air fun for half the price of a Cup.

I have never owned an Alfa (sorry Neil!), but this stunning GTV Cup is seriously tempting! I think that for enthusiasts, a limited production run, together with that unique body kit, would certainly justify the increase in price over a 'standard' GTV. 👍🔥👍

Very nice. Also limited editions tend to have black carpets regardless of the rest of the interior. Headlining is the same as other GTV's.

Great video! I do love the Cup, and was tempted, but I ended buying a low milage Rosso GTV V6 with tan leather. Also a Japanese import, so no rust. I do love the various Cup body parts though.

@ajcgolf69 Жыл бұрын
I think the body kit on the cup really lifts the car, I’m not a fan of the normal GTV to be honest, especially from the rear it’s too flat, but the spoiler and side skirts on the cup really transform it for me. You’re right though I wouldn’t pay double for it, if I really wanted one I’d probably go for the normal GTV V6 and tart it up a bit

Hello mate, do you remember a guy coming in for 4 17'' alloy wheels for an alfa romeo 159? if so that was my dad!. In a few days or so we may pop in and get old keys for the alfa if you have any. Nice video!

I nearly bought one out here in Oz some years ago, back when the 916 series GTV6s were cheap. The car I was looking at could have been had for around $8K, alas all GTV6s have gone up in price since then.

Hi we've got a 2.0ltr with knackered clutch, 3 garage's we've tried to get a quote from said no way they're a nightmare? Is it much different from a 146ti, or 155V6, I've done both of those, a few years ago now but I may have to do it myself. Any help much appreciated?

@jonjanson8021 I'm not aware of any Alfa dealers in Cornwall now, Vospers (Fiat) in Plymouth! 50miles away, £1,000+ at a guess, Time is the issue rather than ability, I don't remember the 146 being any more difficult than anything else I've done, the reactions from 3 different people seems odd, I'm trying to get a MK5 Golf and Transit Custom DM flywheels and clutches done aswell, all no problem except the Alfa, "How do you end up needing 3 done" Son in Law drives like a tit, old neighbour and the van is just a rattle at the moment.
