Indica1,

You've got yourself a 116 series GTV, possibly a GT.

Keep it original if you can ... the colour might even be original.

Not sure exactly where you can find colour charts but Google the model, that might get you somewhere.

Yes, Nick is right, you have a 1977 Alfetta GTV 2 Litre.  Colour is probably original.  You can see what we have been doing to these cars in the Group S section of the forum.  The body will be your main concern as the bodies on this era of car rusted badly.  Unless you can do it yourself it will be a costly exercise to restore the body.  Mechanicals are reasonably easy to obtain however interior and exterior trim is getting to be scarce.
