Actually it’s the first time we see the Le Mans Blue shade on a GTV 2000. Indeed these 2000 were often painted in sober colors: black, silver, metallic gold and white were the preferred colors for this coupé, but we’re talking mostly about the Euro market: in the U.S.A. people were more “aggressive” in their… Read More Le Mans Blue: 1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV
This Alfa Romeo (Type 102) belongs to a series which had not much success: designed to fill the need of the italian upper class families, finally they sold these cars mostly to the government, for representative purposes. The reason why it wasn’t a best seller is clear to everyone: even then, the bulky side of this… Read More Project 102: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina
Of course rust often wins, but it has no chance to finish its work on a Sprint Speciale. This Giulia has seen for sure better days: what we have here is a car neglected and cannibalized for decades before someone has spotted her somewere and so now she’s waiting for someone brave who’s willing to… Read More Rust can’t win: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
“A place where a classic cars enthusiast is not alone” is the motto of this blog. And indeed, it’s quite a must to suggest to whoever is restoring, or has a restoration project, or simply has the idea of restoring a Giulietta Spider, this blog. The main topic of this blog is the restoration log of a… Read More Classic suggestions/2: Spiderveloce’s Blog
Here it is another Giulia Spider Veloce (AR 390539) which, as the seller says, has rust. But we suppose that no reader is particularly scared from rust: otherwise they would follow a blog called “Modern Virus”. However, when you find a car like this the first concern is not rust: unless the car has been… Read More Tired but clean: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
It’s not usual too see and Euro spec car like this one in the U.S., indeed the seller says that this car has been imported from Canada (and before from France). This car has been overhauled with many new parts: the seller says that the engine has been entirely rebuilt following the original specifications; suspensions… Read More Between #2 and #3: 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000
Sometimes it’s easy to be wrong with italian names, so even this time we read “Corello” instead of Carello. However, this subtracts nothing from this very nice car. It’s a 2600 Spider which has the perfect conditions: not so bad to require a lot of attentions, not so good to scary the owner about driving… Read More Corello headlights: 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider by Touring
Actually this 1750 GTV is something about a barn find and a good, usable car: for sure it’s not a proper “Find” as the seller stores it in his garage. Probably the car is stored and it has not been much used in the last years; interiors looks quite good even if they’re used as a… Read More Something in the middle: 1969 Alfa Romeo GT 1750 Veloce
“Very potent” are the words used by the owner (and seller) to describe this resto-mod GTV 2000. He says that this car was built by NW Alfa Romeo Club Competition director in a specialized shop located in Seattle, WA, in order to have a powerful Alfa which could be used on tracks and on public… Read More Turbo equipped: 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000
We believed to have seen a lot of the classic car world but, needless to say, a lot doesn’t mean everything. What is strange here is that this 2600 sprint was born with a right hand drive: you may think that this is simply a car sold in one of the Commonwealth market and then… Read More Big six alien: 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint RHD
