Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV6 2.5

The Alfetta GTV6 pairs the Busso V6 with a rear transaxle, and this 1982 2.5-litre car is a well-documented example in its original Rosso AR530. It has covered 112,497 miles, a figure supported by MOTs dating from 1991 and handwritten notes in its history file.

The body was restored over 13 years by a trade restorer who replaced both front wings, the upper and lower front panels and the outer sills, with repairs to the inner sills, inner wings, rear chassis rails, battery tray and spare wheel well. It then had a bare-metal respray. The current owner, who has had the car for 11 years, added a later black pinstripe Recaro interior, a fast-road handling kit, a big brake kit and a cooling fan conversion. The gearbox has been swapped for a rebuilt Twin Spark 75 unit with better ratios and a limited-slip differential. Underbody work includes full Dinitrol rustproofing.

The last major service, including a cam belt, was in 2021, and roughly 700 miles have been covered since. The dealer says the car comes with a fresh 12-month MOT and an oil and filter service. The history file has invoices going back to 1989.
