This 1969 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 has a very interesting history, originally owned by the Malaysian diplomat to The Netherlands. His son brought the car to Canada in the 1970s, and it has been an important part of my own life for the past 13 years. This car culminated my obsession with Alfa Romeos, and now most of my free time is spent racing them as part of the VARAC racing group. Unfortunately, with my limited time these days, I have to sell my beloved GTV. It is a great car and someone out there will love it and baby it.
Car History I have an incredible amount of documentation on the history of this car, dating back to the original purchase and service records. This car was originally purchased by the Malaysian diplomat to The Netherlands (*see photo of original dealer service booklet). The original owner to this car is a member of a prominent family from Malaysia. I have further detail on the car having spoken with the original owner at length through emails earlier this year. The car was purchased in The Hague, The Netherlands and resided there for several years. He was part of the Rob Slotemaker racing school (*see photo of decal on rear windshield) and had spent some time at the Zandvoort race track. A car with the same exact decal in the same location on the car was restored and documented on the Alfaholics website (Google "Rob Slotemaker Alfaholics" - see first link). When the original owner went to university in Canada, the car was shipped to Montreal, Quebec, wherein he drove it for 4 years. After graduation, he reluctantly had to sell the car before moving overseas. Many of the original service receipts/records are still with the car (*see photos) showing everything from oil changes to new tires to major services. One important thing to note is that the original owner had extra gauges installed on the front dash, angled towards the driver. This was done shortly after the purchase of the car. Service records indicate that the car spent time in New Jersey around the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s. The car was purchased by an Alfa Romeo Club enthusiast in the 1990s. I purchased the car from him in 2002. Personal History with this car I first saw this car when I was 14 at Mosport Racetrack and immediately fell in love. I continuously followed this exact car to Alfa Romeo club meets. During a weak moment, the previous owner decided to sell this car to me when I was 17. I babied this car the best I could for the past 13 years. I met my wife in Dairy Queen while driving this car! However, unfortunately in the past 3-4 years this car has seen little to no use (children!). It has sat in my garage while I work on my Alfa Romeo race car beside it. My small amount of free time is mostly spent on racing these days, and I am unable to give this car the love that she deserves. Car Condition BODY:

Alfa Romeo won't sully the GTA name by putting it on the Stelvio
Wed, Apr 1 2020Alfa Romeo began celebrating its 110th birthday by resurrecting the heritage-laced GTA nameplate on a track-happy evolution of the Giulia Quadrifoglio. Enthusiasts went wild when they heard the news, but the company warned it's not about to put the GTA name on every model it makes just to capitalize on its popularity. First launched in 1965, the GTA acronym has historically denoted a lighter version of an existing model developed with racing (or, at least, track use) in mind. The recently-unveiled Giulia GTA fits the bill; a Stelvio GTA wouldn't, according to the company. Executives thought long and hard about it and ultimately ruled it out. "GTA is an important name for Alfa Romeo. Frankly speaking, we had a meeting on a Stelvio GTA, but it's just not in line with customer expectations. It has to be the best possible [on the track]. On the Stelvio, we have a higher center of gravity [than on the Giulia], so it won't achieve the same goals," said Fabio Migliavacca, the company's product marketing boss, in a candid interview with British magazine Autocar. His comments suggest the 505-horsepower Quadrifoglio model is as hot as the Stelvio will get in the foreseeable future. There's no indication Alfa Romeo is planning to add a second sedan to its range — its next new model is widely believed to be a smaller crossover — so the GTA treatment will be limited to the Giulia (pictured). This could explain why demand for the car and its two-seater GTAm counterpart has been exceptionally high. The stripped-out, 540-horsepower sedans are limited to 500 numbered units combined worldwide. Alfa Romeo hasn't started taking orders yet, and it had the misfortune of unveiling the model mere days before the Italian government imposed an ongoing national coronavirus quarantine, but it has received more expressions of interest than it has build slots. Migliavacca revealed a majority of the enthusiasts the firm has heard from prefer the more hardcore GTAm over the slightly softer GTA. It's lighter, and consequently quicker around a track. "A lot of people are raising their hands and saying, 'I want to have one,' 'I want to have four,'" he said. "It's truly an amazing reaction considering the timing." Related Video:
6 luxury car brands to watch in 2024
Tue, Jan 30 20242023 was a healthy year for the auto industry, and even with incentives returning and dealer lots filling up, there's plenty to like about the market if you build luxury automobiles, and we expect 2024 to be more of the same, which makes luxury-segment rivalries all the more interesting. Top luxury car brand rivalries? Well, that sounds downright uncivilized. But we know better, don't we? And when every quarterly sales update is an opportunity to remind somebody else that they bought the wrong status symbol, well, who can resist? Certainly not the diehard customers who fly their favorite brands' banners high. Read more: Auto sales: Industry records best year since 2019 Read more: 2023 auto sales and 2024 preview: Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler This is a tricky segment to define, but essentially, we're looking at luxury car brands with depth to their portfolios and dealerships that exist to attract real-world customers. The Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and McLarens of the world are luxury cars, certainly, but we're more concerned with brands that have a bit more mass appeal — manufacturers who treat supply constraints as fiascos rather than features. If you disagree with our selections, feel free to let us know in the comments. And since we're mostly concerned with finishing order, the luxury brands and totals featured here may change as new data come in throughout 2024. Due to the wild swings of the past several years, we're treating 2023 as the baseline by which we'll measure sales performance. And rather than rank brands vs. their finishing order in 2022, when supply-chain and inflationary issues still played havoc with sales figures, we're starting 2024 off with a clean slate. The mainstream luxury segment is always a dogfight, but with their varied approaches to electrification all of the major luxury brands are in the midst of reshaping the premium landscape. Who is doing it right? Well, according to U.S. shoppers, the usual suspects are up to their old tricks.
