When I get too old to ride my old Ducati I will get an Alfa like this. When I was a little boy we had three of them in our family. What a privilege but I didn't realise it at the time. One of the greatest cars ever made.

Thank you for the video. I am the second owner of one, bought when I was 19 and serviced it with the Beninca family ( Surry hills) it’s entire life. It was garaged for 30 yrs. Cost a bit to get back on the road, ouch, one tiny rust patch (didn’t get washed for 30yrs) bit shabby inside but omg forget anti depressants, stress, and spiky in-laws, I will keep it for an investment, but mostly for therapy. I feel lucky to have one. If u get the opportunity to drive this, give it the stick the 1750 so dearly loves, I gave her a 90 thousand miles worth as advised by her therapists the great Beninca family and she loved me back, never once breaking down and stranded. The rear axle feels like the hind legs of a surefooted bunny rabbit when u jag a little left and right going straight through a roundabout (inside the speed limit of course) and going through the gears, the surge from the seats, the sound of that engine, It’s more theatre than breakneck speed (mind u has impressive top speed) but what theatre and handling. Grazie multo to whoever u wonderful Italian dudes were. I salute you.😊

Favorite car to work on Have had a few

They were / are a lovely looking car , and quick in their day.

I owned my S1 1750 GTV for 12 years and totally loved that car. When I sold it back around 2015 all I could get for it was $6.5K. How they rose on price thereafter. And yes they do rust. Mind you I bought a Giulia 1300 TI to replace the GTV and again only paid $6.5K for it back then. It too has risen in price. Mind you I also have a ‘69. Fiat AC 124 Sport which I have owned for 43 years, so I am not complaining.

I had a 1969 1750 in the late 70s here in Aotearoa New Zealand. What a treat on our scenic roads, you couldn't get the smile off my face. Traded it for a BMW 2002tiii, wish I still owned both still.

As an American, 17:45 is the most hilarious thing I've heard from an Australian so far. I agree though I hate tesla's

I remember almost buying one of those for $10k 30 years ago but then I bought the later 116 GTV and used to fly through McCars creek road there

My first Alfa was a secondhand 1750 Berlina which was identical to this one except for the longer wheelbase. It was the mid seventies and a mate sold it to me on the basis that all the rust had been cut out. I came from owning and hill climbing a couple of Mini Cooper S’s and was blown away by the steering feel, the gear change, brakes and utter connection between the driver and the road of the Alfa. And that engine note! It truly was an extension of your fingers and toes. But after a respray, rust did 🎉returned so in anger I traded it on a low mileage 1750 Alfetta. Neither car ever let me down. Rust however started to appear and with a baby on the way and no aircon I traded in to a new 2L Giulietta which we owned for 24 years before illness forced a sale. I live in Sydney, had excellent specialist mechanics and the Giulietta gave few worries and actually had no rust on sale. It was not that fast but it demanded, like all of my Alfas to be driven well, but rewarded one with such a great driving experience. So that ended over 34 years of wonderful continuous Alfa ownership. They all were special in their own way but the Berlina was my first love. I agree that the 1750 was the sweet spot in the engine lineup. Thanks for the review and the memories.

I was on You Tube, looking at other Alfa videos when I stumbled upon this one. I love Alfas. I love the soul of the cars. I own many Spiders, from 1971 to 1993. Yes, the 1993 S4 lost a lot of the Alfa magic, but it's a great daily driver. I bought a 1971 GTV last year and I fell in love with it. It drives better than either the 1750 or 2000 Spider. I'm here in So Cal and I took it up Hwy 39 going toward Angeles Crest (it stopped going all the way through many years ago, but it's open much of the way). Beautiful on the twisties. Yes, it's definitely a keeper! You gentlemen did a fantastic job describing the driving experience and what makes the GTV so special. You were also honest about the drawbacks, which there are some. As a whole package, I'm amazed at how nice a 52 year old car drives. Yes, way ahead of it's time.

These Alfa s are so valuable today is for a simple reason.The were very good cars in their days streets ahead of the pack. After 50 years the survival rate has to be low in most cars, the parts supply has now improved a lot for these cars thankfully.

Yep do an early 1.6 litre MX5, if u can’t find a good local one you can use mine but it’s in Melb. Lots of fun to be had

Great Great Review! Just subscribed! Thanks guys always give up the facts, specs, impressions and if there's something out of the ordinary. Almost everyone else fails in that regard.

New car day! Picked up first ever brand new car - hyundai i20N. Just 9 miles on the clock. Now on 658 miles. Too wet I the UK to really explore but it's doing all the things I wanted. 3 decent rear seats. Firm but just about acceptable. Good tech. Every nut and bolt is brand new with 5 years warranty Inc track days. Best surprise is the front diff. Out of corner traction way beyond expectations

Great video Thankyou would love to see a mx5 review future or near future classic!

Lovely cars, the older GTVs are great. Not sure that any ICE car is a great financial investment in the next decade though. Agree that the Bora is one of Guigaro’s greatest, but always had a soft spot for the GTV’s. I also liked the mid 80s ones with their rear transaxle (but I may be a bit biased about front engine rear transaxle lol). A mate had one of these 70s GTV’s in the 80s and I always admired it. Other mates had Alfasuds - one of them bought it new and had to have rust holes cut out of while it was still under warranty! Absolutely diabolical when it came to rust.

Beautiful little cars. Throw in a warmed 2L twinspark, LSD and throttle body FI and they are even more fun.

Some of Chiti's Autodelta F1 drivers would practice with this factory coupe. I don't know if the practice autos had a full array of Autodelta trick equipment.

Auto meravigliosa. E' la prima volta che ne vedo una con il tetto apribile.

The reason why the rev counter flutters, is because the cable from the water pump drive to the gauge is worn internally. A new cable will fix the problem.

Great review

open review, but really 195 section tyres on the test car spoil are a huge difference to the original size tyre and the whole feel of the car (not to mention much heavier steering at traffic speeds) and do not give an accurate assessment of the handling. The car was developed and tested by Alfa Romeo engineers on 165 section tyres on which they left the factory (without a 185 option either) and Alfas were all about a combined balance between engine, steering, suspension, brakes and tyres, not biased towards grip or power. Alfa engineers setup the car correctly and a stock car is in my opinion much better than modified cars if of course rubber bushings, shock absorbers and other proper maintenance are carried out. The 2000 GTV however despite having an inferior engine to the 1750 stock, had the advantage of the Limited slip differential to help the traction on differently cambered roads where the live axle is not ideal.

Bellissima ingegneria italica

Just like the one I had in the late 1970s.

Review a Fiat 128sl

🙋‍♂️

Have you reviewed an X1/9 yet? Sublime handling and, as yet, a still affordable Italian classic. PS: nice Breitling.

What a great video with a great car can you find a Fiat 124 coupe and do a video on it the drive might surprise you The later 2000 cars had dellorto carbs and had smoother transition from down low and therefore even better Well done guys don’t ever lower yourselves and start doing videos on a Tesla or any other Makita powered cars that are going to be powered on solar power and windmills 😂 😂 I’ve subscribed this is the first and looking forward to seeing many more

The Bora is the most "beautiful" car ever imho. A shame they designed the rear after lunch.

I wondered if Ii might have been the camera angle but the Alfa looked tiny behind that Toyota ute at the start.

What the hell did you do to the roof?!? And why is the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car?😂😂😂😂

Pointless having cars of this pedigree in Australia if you can’t drive them to their full potential and no faster than 120km per hour. I love the freeway in Europe, where you can drive as fast as you like.

Yes to an NA Mx5

Live axle in a 75??
