Alfa Romeo GTV6




Alfa Romeo GTV6
The GTV-6 is a great car. Like all cars, especially Italian cars, they have issues, but nothing that can't be easily resolved. I'm a big fan of the GTV-6 and it's four-door brother, the Milano.

Alfa Romeo Sportwagon

Current mid-size saloon, introduced in production form at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. The 159 is available with four different petrol engines and three diesels. 159 Sportwagon is an estate version of this car. Was launched in 2005 to replace the 156.

Best Car 1900 C Super Sprint



Best Picture 1900 C Super Sprint
Alfa Romeo launched a new sports model in 1954, based on its own 1900 saloon. The 1900 Sprint and later Super Sprint were very pretty, low slung sports coupes with a choice of either fixed head or open two seater bodies. Both models featured wire wheels and the distinctive Alfa front grille.

It is believed that the car was originally owned by the dealership as either a demo car or a salesmans personal car. The exterior color was Gray (AR 716).

Best Car 1750 GT Veloce




Best Car 1750 GT Veloce
In 1966 the 1600 GT became the GT Veloce and the power output increased a bit to 109 bhp. In 1967 the 1750 GTV was added to the range.

Personally the 1750 GTV is one of my favourites. The engine likes to rev (much more then the 2000 version) and the grille and the interior are, together with the step front version (gt junior), the most beautiful of them all.
