Ask ten Alfa Romeo enthusiasts which Bertone coupé they would choose, and chances are you'll receive ten different answers. Some will swear by the GT Junior, while others will choose the 2000 GTV without hesitation. But there is always a group that confidently names the 1750. And, truthfully, that is hardly surprising.
The 1750 GTV was introduced at the end of the 1960s as the larger sibling of the Giulia Sprint GT, offering exactly what many enthusiasts had been looking for. It delivered just a little more power than the 1600 while preserving all the character that made the original Bertone coupé so special. The result was a car that felt perfectly at home on winding roads, yet was equally suited to effortless long-distance touring. That has always been the true strength of this Alfa Romeo.
By then, Bertone's design had already become instantly recognizable, yet the 1750 featured several distinctive characteristics of its own. The four-headlamp front end, the subtle revisions to the bodywork, and, of course, the styling cues that would later influence the 2000 GTV all gave the model its own identity.
The example offered here is a desirable Series 2 1750 GTV. And honestly, perhaps this is a matter of personal taste, but doesn't this second series feature one of the finest dashboards Alfa Romeo ever produced? The instrument cluster, the switchgear, and the overall layout are exactly what a classic Italian sports coupé should be. Straightforward, purposeful, and full of character.
Naturally, beneath the hood lies Alfa Romeo's renowned 1.8-liter Twin Cam engine. An engine that has more than proven its qualities over the decades and remains one of the defining reasons why the 1750 GTV is so highly regarded today. Paired with the five-speed manual gearbox, it delivers exactly the driving experience for which Alfa Romeo became famous during this era. Throttle response is wonderfully immediate, and the entire car feels light, agile, and alive. It is a truly rewarding experience.
This particular example is finished in Verde Oliva Metallizzato, beautifully complemented by a Cognac leather interior. It is a color combination that perfectly highlights the elegant lines of the Bertone bodywork while standing apart from the more commonly seen specifications. Our opinion? One of the finest colors ever offered on an Alfa of this kind.
This Alfa Romeo was restored and mechanically rebuilt in the past and continues to present today in a well-maintained and carefully preserved condition. The leather seats and carpeting remain fresh, giving the interior an exceptionally attractive appearance. Panel fit is excellent throughout, and the 1750 makes a remarkably well-kept overall impression.
The 1750 GTV remained in Alfa Romeo's catalog for only a relatively short period before the 2000 GTV succeeded it. Perhaps that is exactly why this version enjoys such a loyal following among true enthusiasts. It occupies a unique position within the celebrated Bertone family.
And that is precisely what makes this Alfa Romeo so special. A classic Italian coupé that you'll find yourself admiring every single time, even before turning the key.
