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:

Maserati Grecale and Alfa Romeo Tonale delayed
Mon, Oct 18 2021MILAN — Maserati on Monday delayed the launch of its new Grecale SUV until the spring of 2022 from November this year due to a global chip shortage. The announcement by the luxury brand, part of Stellantis, comes as a shortage of semiconductors forces automakers around the world to slow or suspend production. Maserati said its decision stemmed from ongoing disruptions in the supply of parts. "In particular, due to a scarcity of semiconductors, production volumes would not adequately meet expected global demand," Maserati said in a statement. A global premiere for the Grecale, which will be produced in Cassino in central Italy, was initially scheduled for Nov. 16. Stellantis this month also confirmed it would present the Tonale, the new Alfa Romeo SUV, next March after it had been expected at the end of this year. Stellantis, formed this year though the merger of Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, has halted production at several plants, including in Europe and Canada, due to the chip shortage. It has forecast it will produce 1.4 million fewer vehicles this year. The FIM-CISL union has said the impact of a semiconductor shortage on Stellantis' Italian production this year will be worse and longer-lasting than the damage to output caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Touring dresses its Alfa Disco Volante in green and gold for Geneva [w/poll]
Sun, Mar 2 2014If you watched the latest episode of Top Gear, you'll have seen Jeremy Clarkson driving a red version of Touring's Disco Volante around Italy, then showing off a silver-finished one in the studio back in the UK. But when the doors open at the Palexo for the 2014 Geneva Motor Show this week, Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera will have another version to show off. Pictured here, this version of the Disco Volante has been done up in dark green with gold accents for a treatment that looks decidedly less Italian and more British – something Colin Chapman (not to mention Green Bay football fans) would appreciate. We're not sure it's our favorite treatment of one of the most stylish cars money can buy (particularly with the rosso corsa grille and tailpipe inserts), but then we're not the one buying it. This example was likely produced for a specific customer. The Disco Volante, for those unacquainted, is essentially an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione – already a looker in our books – that's been rebodied by reborn Milanese coachbuilder Touring. The carrozzeria was established back in 1926, went under in 1966 and was reborn in 2006, adopting the Superleggera moniker that its forebear coined when pioneering lightweight monocoque construction techniques. Since its revival it has worked its magic on Maseratis, Bentleys, Gumperts and more. The Disco Volante is made to order at what you can bet is a not unsubstantial price.

Slow Chinese market delays Maserati and Alfa Romeo models
Thu, Dec 3 2015We already told you that Alfa Romeo was delaying the Giulia sedan and an unnamed CUV, but now things are getting worse. According to Bloomberg, Maserati has delayed the Alfieri sports car. And it's all China's fault. The faltering Chinese domestic market, which is experiencing its slowest period of growth in nearly three decades, is forcing Fiat Chrysler to rethink its plans for its Italian models, Bloomberg reports. Rather than going for models that would likely be popular in China, including the Alfa CUV and a larger sedan, the company will shift its focus and bring out updated MiTo and Giulietta hatchbacks, both of which would play better in Europe, an unnamed source within FCA told Bloomberg. This news is notable because it shows that FCA boss Sergio Marchionne's ambitious product transformation is not progressing as smoothly as planned. In the MiTo's case, the company is willing to go back on its original strategy. The subcompact hatch wasn't supposed to survive beyond 2016, but Bloomberg is reporting an update is due by the middle of next year. As for Maserati, well, there's not much to say. The Alfieri was supposed to go on sale next year, and now it's not. There's no word on how (or even if) Maserati's priorities will shift to another vehicle, or if this is simply a matter of money being distributed away from one of FCA's brands and toward another.
