Title: GTV6 first build date
Post by: redalfaracing on April 26, 2011, 02:21:12 PM
Is there any way of finding out exactly what date the 1st GTV6 was produced?
Is it likely to be 1981 or could it possibly be late 1980?
Anyone know?
Thanks.

Greg - David Owen, in his book "Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT - All 4-cylinder and V6 coupes" reports 2 built 1979 and 1179 in 1980. 

You could try sending an email to Mario Fazio (centrodocumentazione@alfaromeo.com) for verification.  He is away until April 28th according to a reply I got to an email over the weekend.

Alister, any chance of a scan of that page?
Reason for this is, if i can prove that they were actually produced b4 01/01/1981 i can enter in hra events as H81 being a model run on.
Thanks

Of course. Will email over for you. I'll also send the page from the recent Quattroruote  book "Alfa Romeo - Tutti I Modelli del Novecento" that lists the first GTV6 series a 1980-1982 model years.

Still follow up with Mario though. Nothing like the factory backing you up.
