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.

2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia and 2024 Stelvio will be $1,800 less expensive

Sun, May 28 2023

A month after Alfa Romeo revealed the 2024 Giulia and Stelvio for our market, both are less expensive than at launch. All Giulia and Stelvio trims bar the Quadrifoglio have had their MSRPs cut by $1,800. The discount appears to be another move by Stellantis brands here to reposition themselves to achieve the kinds of success that has eluded them so far. Cars Direct picked up on the price cuts in Alfa Romeo order guides. When it asked the automaker what gives, an Alfa Romeo spokesperson replied, "The reduction in pricing is a lifecycle direction for Stelvio and Giulia to enhance market competitiveness." Read: We want to give German Three shoppers more reason to give us a better look. The coming model year of the sedan and SUV isn't on the Alfa Romeo site yet. Cars Direct says the entry-level Giulia Sprint will start at $44,075 after the $1,595 destination fee, the Stelvio Sprint will start at $46,370. The sedan hides a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine up front making 280 horsepower and 306 pound-feet of torque, all of that sent to the rear axle. Zero to 60 miles per hour takes 5.5 seconds, fuel economy comes in at 24 miles per gallon in the city, 33 mpg highway, 27 mpg combined, and Alfa provides a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty. The BMW 330i is also powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, this one making 255 hp and 295 lb-ft. The stoplight dash takes 5.6 seconds, fuel economy is rated at 25 city, 34 highway, and 29 combined. Thanks to pruning the price, the 2024 Giulia starts off $720 less expensive than the 2023 330i that opens the bidding at $44,795 after the $995 destination fee. The problem is that once you start comparing like-for-like, it's not clear where you'll end up. For instance, the Giulia comes on 17-inch wheels, the BMW on 18-inch wheels. According to the configurator for the 2023 Giulia, upgrading to 18-inch wheels costs $1,725. The Giulia comes with black leather seats, the only alternate interior option a set of red leather seats for an additional $2,000. The BMW comes with Sensatec seats, but buyers have five choices in leather seat colors, four with contrasting stitching, each of which adds $1,500. Point being, if you upgraded the Alfa Romeo to 18-inch wheels and upgraded the BMW to leather, the sedans are only $495 apart.

Alfa Romeo to launch crossover in 2016

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Alfa Romeo has an ambitious product plan in place to revive the marque and bring it back to North America. And according to the latest reports, that includes a new crossover. A dozen years after the reveal of the Kamal concept pictured here, the new, as-yet-unnamed production crossover – referred to internally as Project 949 – will be Alfa's first, arriving hot on the heels of sister-company Maserati's upcoming Levante crossover. The high-riding Alfa will be about the size of the Audi Q5 or BMW X3, and is reportedly being developed on the same rear-drive "Giorgio" platform as the replacement for the discontinued 159 sedan, which is expected to be called Giulia overseas but possibly wear the 6C moniker in North America when it's unveiled on June 24 at the Alfa Romeo museum outside Milan. Both models are expected to be produced at the company's Cassino plant near Rome, and feature a new family of engines including a high-output diesel V6. A larger crossover is set to follow as well.
