Stepping into this car teleports you 50 years back in time – driving this machine is as pure as it gets.

It's a time machine, taking you back to a bygone Italian era.

Giorgetto Giugiaro was just 22 years old when he designed this classic for Bertone... while deployed on National Service. Way to make the rest of us feel inadequate, Giorgetto.

Alfa's 1750 GTV was ahead of its time; featuring a superb all-aluminium engine with wet liners, disc brakes, dual overhead cams, and a beautifully balanced suspension.

The faster you go, the more gorgeous this car is to drive.

This car has been fastidiously maintained by its current and prior owners.

It comes with meticulous maintenance records and registration paperwork going back decades.

Mechanically, this car is a dream.

Immediately after its last acquisition in late 2020, over $4,000 was spent on a full service on this car.  Any and all mechanical 'niggles' were taken care of by Sydney's foremost Alfa specialists, Frank's Pitstop Motors (Summer Hill, NSW).

Frank himself drove and tuned the engine and refreshed suspension – and got everything 'just so'. 

It starts and runs impeccably.  Just look at that engine bay!

It has previously been fitted with an Alfaholics exhaust, imported from the UK.  It exudes a particularly glorious burble when you coast in 3rd.

The interior is breathtaking. 

The wood inlay is in wonderful condition – not a buckle to be seen.

Note the condition of the carpet – lush, and original.

Those flying buttress "batwing" seats have not been re-upholstered... they're straight from Italy, circa 1969. 

The passenger side window has some diagonal scuffing in its corner, but has been untouched to maintain the overall character of the car.  You are welcome to buff it out, if you please.  Personal preference.

This car is currently on full registration, but has been only driven a handful of times in the past 2 years.

And when it was driven – it was only taken out on dry, perfect sunny days. 

It was only ever 'dry-cleaned' using special products from Autoglym.

For most of its current ownership, it was safely stored in a secure temperature-controlled underground garage.

Its most recent detail was fastidiously performed by a specialist that went the extra mile and steam cleaned the entire car instead of a wet wash... a true preservation detail.

To say this car has been pampered, would be an understatement.

I could go on for days about this car, but I don't have to... the pictures (almost) say it all.

Pricing reflects the car's meticulously-documented ownership history spanning half a century, its phenomenal interior and mechanical running condition, plus the matching number NSW plates [69-ALFA] included in the sale.

This isn't your typical advert searching for just any buyer.

This car seeks its next custodian.
