Based on the Type 116 Alfetta, the Giugiaro-penned Alfetta GT - later named GT Veloce and abbreviated to GTV turned an unremarkable saloon into a pretty, rakish coupe. Often referred to as the prettiest Alfa since the early 1960s Guillietta and holds firm as being one of the last of the true Alfa Romeo sports cars. This particular example has low ownership with only two keepers shown on the log book . The current owner is recorded to have taken possession in 1989. Accompanying the car is a large history file, original owner's documents and current MOT certificate. Originally registered as BPK 107Y she now sports the cherished number LTY561 included in the sale. To say the condition of this car is stunning is an understatement! On inspection this particular GTV is excellent in every respect, mechanically and cosmetically and serves as a credit to the long term ownership of its current custodian. The current owner states "The Alfa GTV was sold to a Mr Charles Davies on 24/6/83 by Alfa suppliers Bell & Colvill. In the next 5 years it had all the checks done in the service booklet. The service book shows serviced up till 33137 miles in June 89. In August 89 was sold by John Gills of Bedale to a friend of mine, John Harris. John Harris worked for John Gills as a salesman, in 1995 he got a company car so put the Alfa into dry storage, with a mileage of 56098 (MOT certificates to prove this), until I bought in in April 2017. Following my purchase, I have decommissioned the Alfa, wheels have been refurbished and new tyres fitted, new brakes all round. Engine bay stripped to leave the block only in place, painstakingly cleaning and repainting everything and fitting a new radiator."
