Here's why this old Alfa 1750 GTV is better than my Ferrari 308!

  • I've always wanted to try a well set up Alfa Romeo GTV, this Alfaholics fettled car has the 2 Litre engine form the 75 with 190hp, the handling pack and a few other trick bits. Will it break my long time disenchantment with the 105 series Alfas?

    One of the most beautiful small cars ever , in my opinion. Such balanced lines. My best friend had a 1750 GTV, back in the 70s. 5 speed gearbox too...very unusual and exotic in those times.

    For equal money, I'd certainly choose the Alfa over the Influenzo. The 1750 is the best of the 105s, and looks fantastic in any color. Great designs always do. Granted the wherewithal, there are few cars on planet earth that I would choose over this particular Alfa. And I do not like 4cyl engines, as a rule (high-RPM race engines are different). Alfa Romeo fours are an extremely rare exception. I love its old-school purity, it sounds wonderful, I love the exterior, I love the interior, it's the perfect size for a proper sports coupe... Everything is just right. Lovely thing. Kudos to the owner.

    I always believed the 1750 GTV was based on the 2600 sprint of the 60s just scaled down, it was my first time in an Alfa my manager Mr Alto in Burlington Tavern Swansea had one n I had a Ford Zodiac both strait 6 engines mine 2553cc I was happy with my Ford very happy in Fact till he gave me a ride in his Afla n round twisting country roads it was in a different animal it was like a dog n a cheetah n mine wasn't the cheetah i thought it was loved Aflas ever since But never had one drove few n I loved the Alfasud sprint it was brilliant round corners with an amazing sound another great video mate thanks

    I first dove a 1750 when I lived in South Africa and just simply loved it and that was the car that got me liking Alfas.. Twice had the opportunity to buy a 308 and cried shy on both occasions frightened at the running costs. I now own an 916GTV 3.0 V6 so can't complain. Love the channel !!

    My 1975 1600 GTJ felt underpowered, I later had the engine replaced for a 2000 that came out of an Alfetta GTV. My father sawed off a piece of the engine block to make the carburettors fit. After some proper tuning the car produced 128 BPH at rear axle. Approaching the 200km/h top speed I would literally hold myself to the steering wheel. It was pure joy to drive. smelling the heated oil, hear the air intake and the beautiful exhaust note (minimal muffler) and feeling part of the drivetrain that ran front to back. A very desirable move up would be one of the Alfaholics creations. Thanks for sharing !

    I was in Corfu, Hellas in 1972, and I was so impressed with the this car. In my estimation, I would prefer it over a similar year Ferrari.

    Sadly from 2030 on all the combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in EU :-( In Germany the Green party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state owned central gas station per city. :-(

    That Alfa sounds very nice. I would drive that all day.

    so happy you finally enjoyed a 105. Much the same as you I sold my well sorted 2000GTV over ten years ago and regretted it ever since. My car in splendid Verde Pino (1974) was a bit of a pig to drive when I first bought it, but over the years we adjusted the suspension bit by bit, upgraded to electronic ignition, threw out the heavy factory air-conditioner compressor and replaced with a modern light weight Japanese one (aircon is a must in the Aussie climate) all in all it run and handled like a gem when I sold it. I also owned a 105 GTC and a 105 Quatro Route Zagato which both are very desirable, but by far my 2000GTV was the most fun and I did a lot of club racing and rallies on difficult Australian tracks and road in it and ten years after selling it still miss it. I now got a modern Giulia and a modern Giulietta, nice cars but not the spirit of a well sorted 105

    I saw a red 1750gt driving in my city a few days ago and now I’m obsessed with them. 100% a drew car now

    Love the Alfa, sounds great. I always thought these were very plain cars when I was young. Age and experience has opened my eyes. Nearly bought a GTV 2.5 V6 years ago... it was outside a farm in Cheshire. Opened the door.. it sank about 3 inches... noting to worry about mate he said... it’ll be the pins...yeah bye. It sounded great though.

    A gf back in school inherited her grandma’s Le Mans blue 2000 GTV. It was awesome. Sunroof and AC. Momo wheels. Spectacular car

    Totally in love with Alfas of that era, even the little Fulvia. Alfaholics do some amazing stuff too. I better go buy more lottery tickets I suppose.

    Let’s face it, we all love the Magnum P.I. Ferrari....., it’s a classic Ferrari and it’s shape, design and colour are a great package..., it’s somewhat flawed in comparison as it is standard in the way of suspension, driveline etc, whereas this Alfa is a different kettle of fish, it’s an old car but with lots of modern upgrades, therefore incomparable apart from the fact that it’s Italian heritage.
