RVV 98K. 105 Bertone 1.6 Junior.
PLY 20L. 105 Bertone 2000 GTV.
KUU 962P. 105 Spider 2000.
The Junior was my mother’s and the other two were mine.
There isn't any MOT history for RVV & KUU doesn't seem to validate with the DVLA. PLY was MOT'd as recently as 2018 so must be out there somewhere. PLY 20L. 105 Bertone 2000 GTV.

Out of curiosity. A friend has a 76 Berlina with a KUU plate, which is currently awaiting restoration. Do you happen to know when London registered the 105 Spider when new?
KUU ***P was issued in August 1975.
Alfa Romeos on that plate would have been sold by Alfa Romeo GB, Edgeware Road, Staples Corner, London NW*.
Most of, probably not all, of the cars that went onto that registration plate were a consignment that had been stuck on the docks in Italy for some time due to industrial strikes.
Therefore Alfa couldn’t offer a bodywork guarantee as the cars had been exposed to sea air for a long time.
Alfa advertised the cars, all models, in the London Evening Standard at up to £1000 off list price.
I bought my green Spider KUU962P for £2700.
Never had any corrosion problems.

Another one I’d like to find if it’s still out there is :
GTV 2000 white with black interior.
Registration M** 202M. I can’t remember the second two letters.
Also the following:
GTV 2000 French blue. 105 Bertone coupe. LHD.
Registration GDN 797W.
Was brought back into this country from Bahrain by its only owner.
I had an accident in it and don’t know if it was repaired.

Interesting. I always thought UU number plates were issued by DVLA SW19 back in the day and ARGB registered their cars at Stanmore?Alfa Romeos on that plate would have been sold by Alfa Romeo GB, Edgeware Road, Staples Corner, London NW*.
