Low mileage, sensibly upgraded, recently restored and perfect plate included - Alfisti, form an orderly queue
It’s 30 years since the GTV first arrived on our roads, and two decades since the last ones were built. We all have in our minds an image of the classic Alfa Romeo two-door, the accessible and attainable Italian sports car - but that impression is probably dated now, too. As the really old stuff has become ever more expensive, so the Type 916 GTV and Spider have become the Alfa starter classics. And yes, we’re all older than we think.
More pleasingly, there’s plenty to recommend all of them. The 2.0-litre Twin Spark was always one of the more characterful four-cylinder engines, and offered a slightly sharper steer than the heavier V6. But with the Busso you get that sound, that speed, and that underbonnet view. The GTV looks fantastic; the Spider perhaps even better.
This is a very early right-hand-drive Cup, number 007, and the rarity of these machines will undoubtedly contribute to how prized they are almost 25 years later. At the most recent count earlier this year, HowManyLeft suggested 53 Cups were on the road and another 68 SORN’d. Get your Alfas back in business, people! This must be one of the very best remaining, offered up by Alfa specialists Autolusso with a whisker under 60,000 miles on it.
This Cup is some way from your average tired and tatty V6, then. Which does mean you’ll pay for the privilege, at £24,000. These GTVs really have snuck up without anyone noticing a great deal; a standard Cup with more miles sold at £17,250 in an auction earlier this year, and there are cars with six-figure mileage and a good few owners for not much less. All without the upgrades and recommissioning that make this one stand out.
