Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV Bertone

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_105/115_S...

GT Juniors had the 1300 and 1600 engines: single headlights.

GTV came with the 1750 and 2000 engines: double headlights and extra badges.

The SPICA EFI cars were for the US market.

Question: does it take much effort to convert these cars to Weber or modern Bosch EFI spec?

I can't imagine it would take much effort to convert them to carbs - but I am assuming the inlet ports on the heads are the same!

Modern EFI would probably need to be a throttle body type setup, or sling in an already injected engine from an S4 Spider, or a 75.

Got any of the big Six?

Dinkel, these photos might interest you. It shows they have a beautiful heart as well as body. All components are from a 1750:

There was a slight anomaly toward the end of production, the 1974 to 1976 GT Juniors shared most of their interior and exterior trim with the 2000 GTV including the quad lamps and the combined front grille/scudetto. They also adopted the larger tail lights and bumper over riders of the GTV.

Nope, sorry, it was a bit cramped in the garage

RicksAlfas: you spoil us! OMG and what an utter beauty that Nord is. Big sump carries well over 6 litres of oil. Overheating won't be a problem!

Spider and 75 have EFI indeed. I wonder if a conversion form US spec (SPICA) to modern (Bosch) would improve things, other than availability and maintainance.

Epic thread. I have nothing constructive to add other than an admission of long-standing love (lust!) for the 1750 GTV. I'm not sure there's a more enticing Alfa for me - a mixture of pseudo-attainability, fantastic looks inside and out of the 105 series, richly characterful and engaging engine and a wonderful driving experience. I hope I get the opportunity to own one of these - it'as desirable as far more expensive / exotic cars on my bucket list and it's been there longer!

[dinkel]

Longer: when I was a kid in the mid / late 70s I lust after a TR6, Marcos, TVR M3000, Jaguar XJ6 and the 105 in all her guises. Apart from the unreachable goal to ever own an Aston V8, LP400S or a Maserati 3500GT a Bertone has been on my 'doable'-list for over 35 years. I'm so happy with Davids big heart and passion for the Alfa brand to trust his friends with these gems.

I've just re-registered (taxed) mine for the (summer) Christmas holidays... Can't wait!

Very nice cars all, like the roof rack!

Heres my little step front at Cuborough. Goes well around there, helped by some trick Alfaholics bits.

Been lusting after this for the last week or so. Went for £23k on eBay, very jealous of the lucky purchaser.

That looks like a jewel.

Lovely car.
My mate has a 1972 2000 GTV in a similar colour called Lemans Blue, not sure if it's the same colour as this one.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Yes, Le Mans Blue. Here's the original ebay listing (scroll down as auction has ended)

No connection to the seller other than I stumbled across it and couldn't stop looking and dreaming
